"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.

"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.

She looked fine until they started morphing her into some anime looking chick. Let the geeks play Warcraft and keep them away from Photoshop! :woo:
Ironically, this was created by the very same companie (Dove I think) that use the most beautiful women in the world most of the time to sell their products.Hello hypocrisy. It's marketing.Blue Phoenix said:See for yourself:

Frankly, there's no much point...you can take any women and turn her into some glamourous perfect image using photoshop...So.......? You can take any women and give her the head of W. Bush using photoshop...what's the point?
I see plenty of stunning chicks in real life everyday, pretty girls are even more beautiful without makeup, are they photoshoped irl too? Some girls are inherently more attractive than others. Same for men. Except the same women who shout "Yeah! 'bout time somebody tell it like it is! every girl that's more attractive than me is either photoshoped or has plastic surgery" (sure, whatever you say) will also reserve the right to drool over "hunks".
That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.
Thread should be closed like the 80+ page awful thread.

BINGO! You just nailed the reasoning behind that vid :rock: Thats the reason nothing more nothing less. They are saying "dont feel bad by looking at women in magazines cause on the inside they look just like you. Use our products to get that natural healthy skin and beauty"Dmr9 said:That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.

The point of the movie is that those "artificial beauties" are demanding too much from women regarding their appearance. No wonder some of them are never happy no matter how beautiful they are!
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Our perception of beauty IS messed up. It's not even that most media images of people (men and women) are altered... it's that they're in our faces all the time and feature the hottest 1,000 people on the planet (OK that's a random number, but you get my point).
Let's say you live in a small town with 1000 people, and always have. You have no T.V., no internet, no movies. Now, you'd pretty clearly think that the ten hottest girls in that town were primo stuff.
Now add in all that media, and you are aware of the Angelina Jolies, the Jessica Albas, the Halle Barrys, etc. of the world. NOW what do you think of the girls that you see walking down the street, even the hottest one in town?
And since our society is obsessed with notions of "you must be the best you can be", "get all you can", and so on... there is a part of us that now feels cheated. It's not a conscious thing, like "Why can't I have someone as hot as Miss Alba"... but a subconscious thing. When you're out with Jenny Down the Block (NOT her, dum dums), you can't help but feel inside like you could do better...
...even though, unless you're Brad Pitt, you can't.
It's for this reason that I periodically go on total girl-picture breaks. NO porn, and avoid at all costs looking at stuff with ultra-attractive women. You know... I think it works.

Angelina Jolie, and Halle Berry aren't even that hot. They would blend in at your typical Scottsdale club on a Friday night. There's nothing special about them... It's about time to stop worrying about what Hollywood thinks is hot, and think for yourself. The girls out there in mainstream Hollywood are nothing special. The cover girl for Maxim is hot, and girls in porn are hot. Notice media that targets men has it right at least. I couldn't care less about these women actors in hit movies, or models picked out by gay men.

i have seen many of these morphing techniques and photoshop jobs and i'm quite dissappointed when i see my favorite victorias secret model has cottage cheese on her ass in a regular photo.
Understand they make things like this more for women than for men. Average girls look at stuff like this to make them feel better about themselves. And that's fine.
You guys sure do get outraged about silly stuff on this site.

"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.
Reminds me of that time when I saw pictures of elisha cuthbert without makeup. For some reason it was stunning. I should have known, but still, I was in a state of WTF. I think I still have the link to the site too. yup- http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=1553 Although I could've sworn I saw these same pictures a long time ago from the same site. The site's date has to be wrong.
