"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.

-Looking back at my relationship with women, I've noticed that im a total perfectionist. I was always looking for the PERFECT MOMENT, THE PERFECT KISS, the perfect everything! I remember I used to make a big deal of like saying that i think she is beautiful, or things like that... it was like THE BIG EVENT! Now, I'm leaving all those things and just saying things, no matter if its not special. Like, for example, asking her to be my girl out of the blue and for no reason... what do u think of this!?
-When I befriend a girl (I mean I "let's-just-be-friends" her), I feel much better (instead of rushing up with "tactics" to get her into bed and to like skip that phase) I no longer feel worried, I feel things fall in their place at their own pace. I think that could be the key for EVERYTHINNG! That theory has so much sense to me, but I feel nobody has ever mentioned it before, so Im afraid I might be wrong. I think that a girlFRIEND is well, a really GOOD friend! Somebody who u share EVERYTHING! someone with who u do everything (including sex!). Think about it! dont u guys think that the characteristic that makes everything fun, exciting and special is that u and her are just really good friends?
what do u think of this?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You know, one of the reasons i dont date Asian guys very often is because they have been brain washed by bollywood movies, and have this notion of how everything needs to be perfec or romantic, or preplanned. Its good to put thought and effort in occassionally, but sometimes you need to step back and look at the bigger picture, and think about all the little pleasures you may have overlooked trying to make the relationship what you want. Be spontaneous, seize the day. Add a bit of ruggedness in your relationship, it spices things up.

Everyones different and has their own style and I agree with you that somethings fall in place you don't need perfect timing but its till a certain point. As for the girlfriend being a good friend I'm gonna have to disagree. One thing you should never do is form an attachment with a girlfriend or even friends. It leads to a path of self destruction when you become Dependant on them due to the attachments. Its possible to love someone without any attachments. A girlfriend can never be a good friend but a good friend can be a girlfriend but never the other way.
