"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.

ok it is a bit of a read but here's the story blokes...

I am a 22yr old baker who has just been approached a month back about working for these two guys who are in the process of building a bakery/ cafe/ bar/ restaurant/ coffee roastery all in one in a giant warehouse in the CBD of my city. I am all on board and cannot wait of course I jumped at the chance to develop and MANAGE a new bakehouse from scratch.

Now my question for all you older and hopefully business orientated gentlemen is how to go about stepping up to this challenge. Being so young I have never had the opportunity to manage a business well in this case a department of a whole company. I will be training an apprentice under me, coinciding with the chef and other staff to develop new items and the workings of the business along with dealing suppliers and advertisers. The two owners are very connected especially so to get a top chef and coffee roaster from sydney. also they have many friends in the publicity business including radio, newspaper and tourism of many I will have to have meetings and dealings with and of course socializing with them too.

I have come to this site to not only better myself with the ladies but to really create myself as a man so to say because I am really a conserved quiet guy pretty much 1 step up from an AFC. I have read the book of pook and gained so much from it also working my way through the DJ bible right after i finish How to win friends and influence people. and in this week since i started my transformation into the man I want to become I have come very far in such a short time. All I'm asking of you guys is a bit of guidance and recommendations of some good reads and general advice on business relationships and creating good rapports with them as I am not much of a conversationalist and it is all a bit daunting going from just a **** pusher in a little bakery to running one with others money at stake.

I was thinking of doing the same. Public speaking is a good skill to have, a great speech can make a girl's panties drip.

Sounds like you're on the right track. "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is always my recommendation, it's all about dealing with people, and your outlook on all types of relationships. My brother recommended it to me, it changed his life.

Learn how to manage people effectively and don't fall into "doing everything myself" syndrome. Go for it and good luck!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
