"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.

Hey guys. So I'm looking to greatly expand my social circle. It probably sounds kinda lame but I wanna be hanging out with the 'popular' guys i.e. the ones who hang with a lot of girls, and who generally have a lot going for them in their social life. At the moment I'm on vacation but will be returning to university in a couple of months. I'm just wondering where can I go and what can I do to make friends whilst i'm off and equally importantly when I'm back at uni?

I'm not a loner or anything by any means, but the only kind of people I seem to make friends with are people who like myself have nothing going on in their social life. I seem to be stuck inside half of the time because my friends are doing nothing but messing about on video games etc. I'm desperate to get this aspect of my life (amongst others) sorted out, so that this year at uni can be more enjoyable :D

Any help would be -greatly- appreciated. Cheers guys!
 

"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.

Now I don't like to bump my own threads, but I fear it'll slip through the cracks otherwise. Any advice please guys?

I had this problem starting out too
I hated clubs, bars so here's what i did
make friends at work/school
one friend will introduce you to a few others
then those new others will lead to even more others
then you have a network of people you can hangout with
EXPAND the circle bro

Just be yourself. You sound like a very nice person, so I would respect what they like and try do hang out with them doing what they like at first. Then try to show them your interests and see if they will try some of them.

Greatly appreciate the comments. How do I go about meeting people outside of uni though? Is joining sporting clubs etc. the only real way?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

in uni are you living in a dorm? if so it will be quite easy to make friends, just strike up convos with other guys in the dorm and talk about guy sh1t like parties, girls, sports, etc. then get their number and hit them up to get lunch and party and that type of shiz. same thing with class, or anywhere really... just have a normal convo with them and tell them yall should hang out. also it helps to be interesting and not look like a nerd

Nope I'm not in a dorm. I'm living at home for the moment. Don't worry I don't look like a nerd ;)
