"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'm going to the University of Minnesota this fall and I need to get a new bike! I'm not sure how big the off-road biking system is down there but I know they have tons and tons of paved trails so I was thinking of getting a cycling bike or racing bike (not too sure of the technical wording yet)

I'm hoping to spend less than $800. I'm not looking to enter the Tour de France but I want a bike that is built for speed and would serve as a great exercise tool as I use the miles of bike trails and I suppose commuting to classes.

If you know any good manufacturers or know of any websites/dealers that offer good prices that'd be awesome!

Thanks guys!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You could find some pretty sweet deals on used bikes here:

www.pinkbike.com

Go to the Buy&Sell section and you can search by location.


I got my 2006 Giant Glory for only $1700 using that site from a guy in Vancouver, BC. Its worth well over $2500 with all the upgrades, but if your a good bargainer you can get sick deals. I'm probally going to sell it for around $2200, make a $500 profit and buy another better bike. :D

Also, buying used is a much better choice I think, (unless its really old) because you get nice bikes for really really good prices. My Giant Glory would be around $3500 with all the upgrades if I bought it new. (excluding taxes)

Good luck and ask me if you need any help. I'd gladly help with bike questions. :up:

If you can find a frame for pretty cheap, I built my own bike (with limited experience) from just a frame for about $400. Its a pretty sweet fixed gear with road rims and tires. Your local bike shop can help you build a single or fixed gear bike for easily less than $800.

I use Pinkbike.com as well.

You can join the forums and ask them what they think about a certain bike and they will give you some feedback on it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
