"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.

Should you apologize, even if you're both wrong?

...like she likes to tell her family, and Mom and Dad, some brothers, and sisters are pissed now.

I say hell no. My best bud, who's a total pimp, says "Yes..." ..I say he had to be high when he gave me that answer.

I think for the well being of our son, he shouldn't see his parents fight anymore, therefore, I'm ending it. But I still need to go thru her to see my son, and would it be wise to bury the hatchet? ....not in her head, but matter of speaking?
 

"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.

I believe you should apologize when you KNOW you are in the wrong. It's a way of recognizing that you fvcked up. However, there's no need to apologize for things you did that were justifiable, or for things that she interpreted incorrectly, or when you haven't done anything wrong.

He is a pimp, but I have to question his status sometimes. Like when he gave me that answer... :)

I ain't apologizing sh*t. She's wack, and ever since she had our son, she's been cucko cucko.

What's happening is she's gotta test you now that there's a little one in the mix-- she's gotta know you can handle your feelings when she ISN'T. :cool:
 

"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.

Why don't you tell us what she's so ticked about?

Some situations can be a little blurry. It's not always obvious if you did wrong or not.

I think we need more info...but. Why not talk it out, explain your side, and if she interprets this as an apology, then you just became a diplomat, and saved yourself a lot of trouble.
 

"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.

I agree

This really has nothing to do with "seduction", it has to do with "life". If you f$cked up you should man-up. Do what your heart tells you not what some pick-up artist on the internet says you should do.

Lets just say, I'm here to get advise, not on how to pick up babes... that part of the game, I got down a long time ago. I don't usually post here, cuz like I said, my game is pretty tight. When I do, it's usually on questions that come from being with someone for a long period of time, as this part of the game, is a work in progress. I have accepted that they (women) are all crazy, and there's no other way around that.

I just need to fine tune the LTR thing.

As far as what I said to piss her off? ...lets just say, the "trump" card she uses now is "For years, I've waited on you to call, to show up, to be on time... it's no different then what you do to me."

I say she's full of sh*t. I've always told her never to wait on me. Even though I respect her opinion, this particular rebuttal, has no merit. Before our son was born, yes, I came and went as I pleased.. but after he was born, I was never late, when it comes to seeing her or our son. She's a control freak.

I still remember when she turned to me, and said "I have you under my thumb.." for which I replied "Keep that thought up... you can easily be replaced."

It's a matter of respecting each other...

Here a few tips:

1. When she start arguments, it is content-free. Don't start to answer her arguments, you will always lose. If it isn't legimit: ignore, tell her to stop it, or walk away. If it is legimit, admit your fault without becoming submissive to her, then close the case.
Never never, should you follow her into her arguments, you're losing your time. You must be the leader even in an argument.

2. Less talking, more acting. Again: it isn't constructive to answers her arguments.

3. You're right, you should get respect out of your women. If not, you're not going to change it. Again: less talking, more acting: walk away!

You can continue insulting her, fighting,... But it will only make things more difficult. In general, and I repeat, Less talking more acting.

Control yourself, ignore + walk away + act is the best you can do.

The only thing that should matter by now is your son. Everything else shouldn't matter anymore.

Good luck.
