"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Long story short. Some good advice would be great. Been with my GF for well over a year now. We generally split things overall. Anyways weve been living together for about 6 months now. We just disagree about the normal stuff. But lately she has been acting really weird. Like somewhat distant, selfish and bit*hy i think it becuase she stressed about money and school (shes a student) but I usually buy the food for us. Ive seen this before from her acting all distant but last time she was like this we broke up for like 2 weeks cause I handled it wrong and came at her. but eventually I just shut my mouth and things were fixed cause obvioulsy she came right after me when I was quite. Right now im trying to somewhat chill out and give her space but I dont want ot seem to do it a d*ckhead way.
So heres the question: Should I just give her space and start doing everything on my own? or should I buy her something really nice to cheer her up? I could afford some nice jewerly for her or would this just be a stupid move? I really didnt give her anythign special for christmas yet. I konw she cant cause she has no money.
 

"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.

It's not what you do when she's acting distant, it's what you've done in the past that has lead her to act distant. And now you're looking for the quick fix.

Okay, you live together. You can buy her some 5hitty diamonds, but she can't afford to get you anything? Something's wrong here.

Please...do you think diamonds will make her happy forever and ever.

Don't waste the money, get her something more meaningful and cheaper.

Buying a woman gifts after a breakup is a classic AFC (Average frustrated chump) tactic that never works. The same goes for all the phone calls.

Just by reading your post I can tell you've never read the bible. Study and memorize it until you've internalized it and only then will you improve yourself.

If you want to turn this situation around there's only one way it can be done. If she's asking you for space then that's exactly what you should give her. Date other women and become unavailable around the holidays.

And how would you feel if she doesn't exactly cheer up after you've given her something really nice? Don't make gift giving so meaningless. If you want to do it, do it because you feel she deserves it and not because you want something specific to happen, i.e. the situation to get better.
 

"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.

Buy her Diamonds!!!!!!

Diamonds for Gold...

I've read that somewhere in the Bible.
Men give women the Diamonds and women give men the Gold :-D

You should go out with her, do some adventure with her (Diamonds)

In essence, you can make everything an adventure even a shopping trip in the mall. Seduce her, build sexual tension. Let her know it is still fun being with you. Know that she will play too.

Look at your life as your very own movie with different genres in the play. Romantic Comedy, PG16, heavvy pr0n, Thriller, Adventure, Action, Documentary, Matrix Style :-D Whatever.

View yourself as the Director of the movie. Have confidence in playing the scenes yourself. Know your actions are cool (Filmed from a good position that is)

Have fun, be Crazy,

O.

The gift won't make her happy. I'd say nothing at all.
