"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If one has a decent job, comes from an upper class lineage, has good prospects, etc. is it fair to look down on other guys for not holding these things?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I don't think it's a case of being "fair", it's just whether you allow yourself to or not.

For me I don't feel like I should, even though like everyone I do sometimes. I prefer to try to see the good in people. If you are a confident person then you shouldn't need to look down on people to get kicks and that kind of negative ego build/maintaining is going to be more trouble then in worth.

The difference between confidence and arrogance is that arrogance is impossible to maintain.

I don't look down on anybody. I'm confident in who I am and only focus on my life, not the shortcomings of others or whatever.

I just live my life and treat everyone as my equal.
