"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.

The moment you are infected by a woman's spell and "like" her, there are only two possibilities:

1) She will leave you
2) She will marry you

I'm not sure which is worse. But once you are smitten by a woman, one thing is guaranteed: that day is coming when you will say "That b!tch". You are inside her ring of fire now and the only way out is to get burned.

It's funny how it happens. When you first meet her you couldn't care less that she's jumping out of a cake at your best friend's bachelor party, but suddenly a few weeks later you find yourself obsessing over who "Phil" is who just texted her, and whether she's checking that guy out over there.

It's important to realize that every relationship will end in a perceived down note.

1) She doesn't like you
2) She doesn't give you her number
3) She doesn't text back
4) She doesn't agree to a date
5) She doesn't show up for the date
6) She doesn't give you a second date
7) She doesn't kiss on the second date
8) She doesn't put out on the third date
9) She doesn't do anal
10) She doesn't let you sleep with her little sister

But strip off all the "She doesn't" qualifiers and you see how much progress you made. She liked you. She texted back. She showed up. You can get over her sister.

Therefore, to maintain a good attitude about your dating life, always focus on your achievements and never your failures.

I agree with you to a certain extent. What SS has taught me is you don't always have to end up getting burnt. You can certainly 'jump' over the that ring of fire. The positive attitude and indifference is the key to moving on.

For instance the FWB I had a couple yrs back, that sh*t was nothing but fun. She definitely sucked me, like a lot. At the end of the day I did exactly what you said. I looked at it like an achievement, that's it. I honesty never thought to myself "that b!tch". Now yeah I suppose that's different circumstances because you know going into it you have to stay emotionally detached.

But even with other past plates that eventually expired, I just jump over that ring and say adios! In this overall "game" with woman we never really win, but we can definitely chalk up some victories along the way! He shoots he scores!
