"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.

What are your best recommendations for mental fatigue. I get that kind of numb feeling sometimes or foggy feeling in my head.

I also get mentally tired quickly. I guess I'm a big ***** or burned out, or depressed?
 

"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.

I get that alot too, best thing I've done is some kind of activity/exercise outside in the sunlight. Get the blood flowing, and quit thinking so much.

30 minutes of sunlight daily if possible, cardio exercise and a diet rich in omega 3's along with getting plenty of sleep will likely reduce or eliminate this.

Learn to meditate and quiet the mind. If you're mentally fatigued you're probably wasting your energy on trying to control things you can't control. These are troubled times.


Cheers!

But in all seriousness, it’s still a problem in 2019 for a lot of people.

Maybe consider the following:

1. Don’t try to multitask. Focus on one thing at a time. You’ll soon get into “the zone” on that particular task and not feel as foggy. Jumping around from one thing to another makes brain fog much worse.

2. Get adequate sleep.

3. Nofap/noporn for mental clarity

4. Cold (or at least lukewarm) showers to wake you up
 

"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.

So which goal or pursuit have you recently been overwhelmed by or squashed by or haven’t been working on?

Your mind can trick a man into thinking he’s not good enough or “who am I kidding?” Voice that pops up in your head.

Or someone has been suppressing your ideas and goals. Snide comments etc

I work in a field in healthcare where most of my work is kind of dictated to me by the needs of patient care. However my department rewards project work as something of great value too. I struggle to work on projects given my more pressing short term clinical responsibilities.

There is alot of task switching in my job due to frequent interruptions and this no doubt is responsible for the mental fatigue
