"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 have been in a LTR for about 5 months and slowly I am being pussified. I was well aware of this happening I could see my confidence and power leaving. Now I am seperated from her and feel so much stronger and motivated. Is this the sign of an unhealthy relationship? I know once I see her again i will dominate her, but will this happen again?

How can I prevent this from happening? I havent called her in 5 days, should I?

I don't know, man. I hear this a lot, but I don't get it.

I haven't been in a serious relationship in 5 years, but I noticed after I got settled into relationship mode, I was actually a lot more alpha.

Since I had given her a title, I wasn't worried about losing her. Not only that but since I had somebody to share everything with, I suddenly felt a lot more motivated to go out and do all kinds of interesting things I never would have done otherwise.

That implied non-removable feminine energy rejuvenated my natural guy qualities. It was kind of cool actually. I miss it sometimes.

I kind of feel like this too, its strange, I have recently ended a 9 month relationship and since coming out of it I feel like a lot more things are happening in my life. I don't know, do guys get lazy when we have girlfriends?

It's because YOU are letting yourself go. Get back to your roots!

"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.

yea, we do get pretty lazy when we have gf's

but it doesn't effect my alphaness. i'm actually way more confident with her than i am single. I just don't feel the need to go around parading as an alpha anymore. :p
