"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 like the way you handled it but you should have never of felt like you needed to justify yourself for showering twice a day. I shower twice a day and it's not for hygiene it's because I frequent the gym, it actually causes me dry skin on occasion. Every other day for a girl is disgusting in my opinion and it would have turned me off as well, I been through some rough things with girls who didn't care about hygiene. Same girls will spend an hour plus throwing up cover-up and fixing their hair won't even take a shower and to be honest it just sickens me
 

"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.

^ Exactly, and I don't ask about it with my girls but it's just assumed that a daily shower is taken

My EX-wife was on a "schedule" too. It's strange, she wouldn't shower after mowing the lawn,raking leaves all day etc. Because it wasn't her day to shower. IF its written in stone,next.

Whatever floats your boat.

Napoleon used to write letters to his wife telling her not to shower for a week before he got home, because he liked it that way.
 

"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.

The only people that shower everyday are Americans. So this pretty much limits your choices of women to 1 nationality. You think they shower everyday in china when most people earn like $1 a day? Europeans are known to be hippi-ish when it comes to personal hygiene. South america? Russia? Let us not even mention africa.

Unless i'm going out I shower once every 2 days but i take 40+ minute showers. I do my best thinking in the shower. :cool:

BTW the real red flag is girls that wear the same clothe everyday or close to it. Now those are guaranteed dirty.

Here's a list of countries I've lived in where the vast majority of the population showers every day: Japan, France, Switzerland, and the UK. You obviously need to widen your horizons my friend.
