"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.

I'm gonna break this down simply....

As of late I've been struggling to get dates with women in general for the first time in many years... Since finishing high school I've never struggled for women, they've always been the ones chasing me making a move on me. It was rare that I had to approach.

Back then I was a broke 4ss student didn't have a job or nothing.

Now I have my own business, got a good social circle, great family relation ships, doing very well financially, doing well for myself.

I broke up with my gf of nearly 2 years last August, since then going back out there, I've really struggled to get dates and to get interest apart from the odd ONS.

You see, when I was with my ex, I had a bunch of problems personally, family, gambling, a lot of things, which I've since recovered from and feel stronger in myself than I've ever felt.

The thing is; she was a 5/6 at best, and personality was a 1! and in hindsight the reason I stayed with her was because of these problems; when they got resolved and I got myself back on track, we just weren't a match at all.

I think being with that girl around my area could have damaged my rep... Reason being.. Girls see a guy with a girl whose clearly not attractive.. they think they can do better.

It's a situation I've never encountered and it's messing with me!

I used to have a huge ego as well, based on having materialistic stuff and how I appeared. Another thing causing this drought I think.. I'm now perceived as having gone down hill because I don't broadcast my sh1t at all.

This is a transitional period and I'm adapting to it... it's tough at the moment because of the lack of interest, but I know the payoff will be worth it in the long run because i'm focusing on the right things!

PEACE
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Show me the woman a man sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself-Ayn Rand

Lots of other chicks out there surely? As for slumps, we all go through them now and then, that's when you evaluate and focus on improvement. Then attack it with the new bigger, better, brighter you.

Self pity > self contemplation > self improvement > self awareness. The circle of life (and poontang) baby.

Yeah man exactly, bang on advice that!

The whole ex thing will fade away in time, I had a host of other issues at the time and this is the least thing I should be worrying about right now!
