"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.

Can somebody recomment some good books on mature behavior? At 27, I still find myself endulging in immature behavior. Specifically, trying to be funny when in actuality, I am not. Since this is a self improvement forum, I need someones suggestion on book. Thanks.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a bit dated, but the principles of it are solid. The author is Norman Vincent Peale.

"Love's Executioner" is one of the best books I've ever read, though it might not be for you. I'm deeply interested in psychology and counseling, not everyone is, of course. It's about a well known psychologist/counselor and stories of his dealings with patients. It's a mind blower in how people put up barriers in their lives and how they overcome there. I highly recommend it, it's a quick read.

Hope those two help.

The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Must-read for every mature man.

I ordered a book called The Ways of the Superior Man, by David Deida, which is all about embracing the natural polarity between men and women. Very pro-male book, at least from what ive read. Ill let you know when i finish it.

I just read I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max and laughed out loud probably twice for every page in the book. Though, I think that might be the exact opposite of what you're looking for.

Some of the NLP books are interesting. Though, I found a lot of it didn't work for me at all.

what is wrong with trying to be funny? Is your humor immature? Or do you find humor in general as an immature thing? I am confused. One of the best traits in a man is his humor and ability to be funny. Laughter is the shortest bridge between two people.
