"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.

Strange to see someone in the mainstream news voice out against V-Day

"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 he makes good points, but I think people make too big a deal out of this. I send my parents cards on mother and father's day. Sometimes send my mom flowers on mother's day. That's a made up holiday too, but they like it so I do it. Halloween is made up. It's a night to go out and party basically. Can't you party any night? Or did the costume industry make it up just so everyone goes out and buys a costume? If you aren't Irish, why celebrate St. Patrick's day, can't you just go out and get drunk any other night? People who aren't Mexican go out and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. See what I mean? I just don't see the big deal in isolating out Valentine's day only. People are too uptight over this.

Because valentines has more corporate greed attached to it than anyother nonreligious holiday. Watch some commercials on tv right now. Zales is telling you to buy this diamond and flowers.com saying you need that many roses so she knows you love her. Its this whole premise that if you don't go out and blow your life savings to show your appreciation of your woman you are a heartless bastard. I have never seen an influx of beer commercials right before St. Pat's.

I do find it kind of amusing that the holiday of love has turned itself into a giant corporate wh0re.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Too over commercialized. I would rather just let my girlfriend know i love her, give her flowers (picked from the garden) and make a nice dinner at home. :D
