"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.

Week 4, Day 1

Went out into town with the aim of getting two rejections. For a couple of minutes I hovered around potential approaches, but I couldn't get my body to move! Usual story. After about ten minutes I sat in a bookshop, gathered myself and got up again. Before I would walk around for HOURS, so this is an improvement.

1: Approached a girl looking at CDs, made a comment about the CD she was listening to, went from there. Not a bad one, I found out she was visiting town to see her sister. Showed her a couple of CDs she should listen to, talked to her for about two minutes. When I number closed her, she said she had a boyfriend - 'When is the wedding?' 'No, it's not that serious'. It came down to her wanting my number so she could have a back-up guy on call... No ****in' way! I ended it there.

2: Spoke to a girl working in a clothes shop. Asked her about the jeans she had on offer, what was so great about them, how she liked working there, where she studied, etc. Didn't like her very much. Closed her for the hell of it, she didn't buy.

I'm enjoying the experience of the bootcamp so far. I find that as with other things the hardest part is making that initial approach every day, getting started.

Completed - 2/10.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I think this bootcamp is the only one that has been tried in the UK. Any UK DJs out there got any special advice on playing this stuff? The advice I have gotten from here is:

* Cold approaches are a waste of time
* Clubs are easy ground for all closes
* People generally do meet-ups in bars and cold approaching is virtually unknown.

Hey,
Well I'm embroiled in Week 5 of bootcamp and having mixed results. Seeing as nobody expressed much interest in this thread I'm not going to be posting my results regularly, as I feel that the best thing for me at this point in my life is to LEAVE this damned website, for at least a year.

Later,
Sal
