"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

In your head
Priceless

I have done this unconsciously before. This post has reminded me why this has a positive affect now.

Time and time again I have seen guys wonder, "I'll do x to impress her, I'll buy y to impress her".

Fact of the matter they should also focus equally on what can she do for them. In the real world the more you invest in something, the more you value it. This is also true in relationships. In the back of her head she will add up all the effort she has invested and it will help her justify how great you are. "I've done this, this, this, this and this, mmmm I've done a lot for him, he must be special, why else would I do it!"

If she has invested a lot emotionally and physically in you, it makes it very hard for her to drop you when things get tough. She doesn't want to lose her investment without good reason.

As stated she needs to rewarded, otherwise she will think its a bum investment. So she does more for you, you reward her, it justifys her beliefs, she continues, you reward her etc

In the beginning be comfortable enough to ask them for little things, or you can trade favors. At least she knows that you're not going to give everything away.

Goes hand in hand with the idea of challenge.

Excellent post. Thinking back on some of the 9s I've dated, the more shyt I shovelled onto them, the more dependent they became on me. It was actually something I did instinctually, but could never really grab a hold of until recently.

This is FIELD TESTED guys. Use it.

This is good.

One thing I tried - to ask a girl for a date, and let her choose an activity. Something like: "Hi, I've got a free evening on thursday. Would you like to go somewhere?" "Yes." "Great. Got any ideas where?". She can do demonstrate her value (creativity), and you can discover some new things to do on dates :)

but then you give her control of the situation, you must keep control!

You still stay in control. You decide if the idea is good and if you aggree on it.

Curious, in what other ways can we get her to show her value... to get our percieved value higher?


I suppose that in every day situations, you can ask her to hold you _____ (something).

Maybe when the relationship grows a bit, wash the car together, and let her do more.

Getting her to pay dates, maybe? But in what way?
 

"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.
