"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.

Renaming her in your phone contacts; flakes.

Have you ever renamed a chick in your phone contacts something like
###FLAKE###
###STOP TALKING TO HER###
###Expletive Redacted###
etc?

or something along those lines to help you remember not to contact her or how you left it off? well, i did. and then i made the mistake of accidentally emailing her the chat history from our blackberry messenger conversation. so she got an email that showed every line of her messages beginning with ###FLAKE### before her name. Hahahahaa.

She just replied with "??????"

I replied that it was "kind of embarrassing but kind of funny" and that I used that to remind myself that I thought she was flaking and that I shouldn't ask her to hang out. We'll see what happens, but I kind of feel better about it and am laughing.

Moral of the story: if you rename a chick in your contacts, don't email her from your phone because it could show that title in the email.

Good luck out there this weekend.
 

"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.

My question is: How do you even have the email address of this "flake" to even screw-up like that?

Ha, Yeah, I've done that


"Do Not Call EVER" is my most favorite

Which reminds me, I need to put this girls middle name in my phonebook as "Drama"
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
