"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 thought I was doing the right thing with this girl i've been dating by taking the initiative and making a decision for what we should do. It was her idea in the first place, and she tried to convince me to do it for a week, but then when she started to show some hesitation i said "let's do this" and booked the reservations necessary (to include flights).

Then she said she was annoyed because she felt that she didn't get a choice and that I assumed that that's still what she wanted.

Any thoughts on what this means?

I've been dating her for a few months, we're not officially exclusive, and i'd like a LTR with her going forward.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

so what you are saying is that you felt that it was the "right" decision to book a vacation for the both of you?

Without coming to a common ground on which vacation spot you both would like to go to?

Thats good that you woulld like to take initiative, but buddy...you have only been seeing this girl for a few months, things are still kinda fresh.

Something like a vacation should be planned out, sure you its cool to book something spontaneously but thats after years of dating eachother.

I could be wrong, but thats the way i see it... I think you thought way to far ahead with this one.

oh no, she was going somewhere for business already and wanted me to come along. she asked me several times and tried to convince me to go but i was playing it cool and not jumping the gun. so i booked only my travel to meet her there.

what i thought was "right" was to make the decision and just do it last minute when she thought i wasn't going to go.

yeah, i tried to keep the original post short --- i was trying to figure out the change of tone now that she wants a "choice" or whatever
 

"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.

First of all: Do not be the one who asks to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

If you're the first one to ask, not only do you come off AFC and weak, but

then she'll know she has you by you d*ck. You are a Don Juan; you do not

need to be asking girls to be your girl because you have an abundance of

women after you. If a particular girl gets crazy about and asks you to be in a

relationship with her and and you decide she meets your standards, then

that's another story.


Secondly: I agree in the fact that you should be a leader and make most

decisions and even though she asked you to come, this chick isn't your

girlfriend. Women will always have something that they want to change about

you and that my friend, is the gift of being a DJ. If you were predictable,

boring, and willing to be with her regardless of whether she wiped the down

the floor with you, you would be an AFC and not a challenge. Women like the

idea of a masculine man that they think can "fix." Ever see those girls that

let their boyfriend beat the crap out of them, but they are still together with

them? That is some crazy stuff and you should never hit a woman (except

during sex and with acuity, haha).


Thirdly: Women will never be 100% happy or they would be bored.

Ever see a couple arguing over the most stupid reasons? I'm sure you have.

Guess starts the arguments? YES! the woman. She starts drama to make the

relationship exciting and maybe throw one and two sh!t tests to see if you

stil have your b@lls on right.


Watch these videos from Chris Rock. They are a mine of gold and they will

explain my the idea I'm explaining to you here. I must warn you though,

you're gonna laugh you @ss off, haha:
