"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.

Lol so if we run out of oil, will we go back to fighting battle on horsebacks and if I want to go to Europe will I have to take a ship?
 

"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.

what about offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico?

What about shale oil in the rocky mountains?

I've been hearing from my professors that there is a sh!t load in the rockies.

I'm confused. How is the price of oil and the price of gas related? How come the price of gas fluctuates wildly from country to country and in the US state by state. Is it really the market price?

The national average for the US for regular is $3.59. In the city I live in the lowest price is $3.85

I'm getting my data from Gas Buddy
Oil = gasoline
gasoline = oil

country to country? taxes mainly
state to state? taxes mainly

Gasoline is NOT the same as oil. Oil has to be refined in a refinery.

So, oil goes to a refinery...and from a refinery we get gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt, etc.

Country to country? A series of issues...transportation costs, maybe they have to import their refined products, maybe their emission laws require a lower sulfur product, etc. Same goes with state to state.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
