"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.

One day before moving day, everything in the house is packed up early so I can just get up and go. The internet, phone and cable television was shut off. The computer was packed, TV was packed, even the radio was in a box. As you can imagine, it didn't take long before boredom struck and I had to get out and do something.

Almost all of my good clothes were already packed and I didn't feel like going through box's just to find a good shirt. The only thing decent I had was a decent pair of jeans that I picked up at a skater shop a few months ago (skater isn't my look, but I liked the worn out - he must work on cars or something manly - dirt look to them). Then I saw a brown flannel shirt that my grandma had gotten for me on my 18th birthday (two years ago). Obviously, flannel went out of style ages ago. But I was kind of amazed how perfectly the shirt matched the pants.

So, I put on the shirt and decided to go out and get a few laughs. But not before adding a few touches. Remembering one of my mothers ex-boyfriends, I put my ciggerates, a pen and a notepad in the front pocket. And to finish the look, I threw on a baseball cap. I always thought that he had no sense of style what-so-ever but halloween was coming up anyway, right?

I got nothing close to what I was looking for. No one laughed, no one! Just smiles. I would be pissed but the response from women was amazing! I got 2 phone numbers from women without even having to say a word. I went to see one of my co-workers at work and she couldn't stop staring at me. Finally, I asked her why no one was laughing at what I was wearing and she says "it actually looks sexy on you".

What was meant to be a joke (and making use out of clothes I never really wore) turned out to be a good casual dress look. Sense than I've worn the outfit three other times, just to see the results. And each time, the response was amazing. However, I still refuse to wear red flannel.

I've come to the conclusion that flannel shirts should come back into style with men. Not only is it comfortable and warm, but it's manly and tough looking. Which is what I think women liked about it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't know I wore some decent flannel stuff from Lazarus (macy's) and I'd occasionally get a negative response from girls, "oh flannel.." It didn't seem to help me.

LOL back in the day thats all i wore. In 1997-1998 in highschool. I would wear a raggy hat, doc martens, flannel and beat up jeans. Flannel in my opinion was comfortable.

lol, i wear flannel from time to time, and i've always gotten good results with it in the field, plus like you said, it's warm and comfortable (striped shirts and faded jeans don't go well in canadian winters). a good flannel shirt (I prefer red personally), warm jacket and black tuque, and you're ready for the blizzard outside.

common sense would tell you that wearing flannel would get in the way of sarging, but it's the exact opposite. whereas 5-10 years ago, a metrosexual was a rare type of guy that women wanted, right now metros are dime-a-dozen. there are so many guys wearing striped shirts, faded jeans, motorcycle leather jackets, pink polos & sh!t, that women have become desensitized to that look.

the fact is, there are so many metros out there now, that the manly lumberjack has become a rare thing, and it will set you apart from the crowd of metros. plus if you've worked out for a long while and are 210+ lbs, you'll look like one rugged motherf*cker.

Watch within a year or two, every guy out there will look like Al Borland.

Minnesota, here. close to the border of canada.

Within a year or two when every guy starts looking like Al Borland, I'll switch over to the metrosexual look. ;)
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

You can probably afford to go out a bit more pea ****ed then that.

Maybe one of those carpenter pencils behind your ears, you know, those long ones which are sort of flat rectanglular shaped instead of the cylinder type shape.

Also a tape measure/bracelet combination.

Overalls with torn knees.

There is so much potential.

"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.
