"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.

so in the summer i finally grasped this concept and began really confident, not giving a **** about what others thought and the true me showed . i was having the time of my life.. however something happened and i went back to my old ways and kept thinking.. " what did i do to get that confidence i had in the summer"
Then it came to me
In the summer i would consciously push myself out of my comfort zone in every possible situation. Well, sometimes i would wuss out, but I kept pushing my comfort zone. I was doing crazy things, talking to people, and taking chances. I would force myself to feel uncomfortable but after I did whatever I forced myself to do i would feel great and have a little more confidence! after a little while my comfort zone was much bigger and i felt that things such as talking to girls were much easier! I made plans to push my comfort zone farrr farrrrr away so that i would be unstoppable but i had an accident (and am finally better).

so i'm going to restart where i left off.
Guys, all you have to do is force yourself to do things that scare you, consistently, even if it doesnt relate to women, and the confidence will soon come to you as it did and will come again to me.
 

"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.

yeah man, go for it
a few years ago i used to be terrified of it
now when i get the opportunity i jump to the chance to do it
i still get a little nervous but its not a big deal

P.S:
I kind of wrote this just to clarify my thoughts. a lot of times i have ideas running around in my mind and if I don't write them down i lose the idea.

I second that too. Public speaking sucks at first, but once you get over the fear its a rush and it improves your social skills.
