29 straight times is overkill in any situation. But I do like urban' s point you really can't mess up, if you look for compatibility. Lying to yourself is the worst thing you can do
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.
Well you could also say an alpha male doesn't follow society's rules of what it means to "mess up".
You only mess up if you do something that is not in line with our own values. You don't mess up when you do something not in line with a woman's values.
Nope. VALUE is the reason.
You're not going to throw away the best man you can get because he cheats.
Also the concept of "self-esteem" today is what's wrong with this culture. This idea that anything that offends your frail ego must be removed from your life forever lol.

If he cheats, he's not the best man you can get.
Says who?
"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.

Just another way of looking at it.
Depends on how much the woman values loyalty, I suppose.
Personally, I could never respect a woman who is okay with her husband/boyfriend/whatever sleeping around.
Some women VALUE loyalty and would say he is not the best man by virtue of having cheated.
Value doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's based on other things. You and I don't value the exact same things. Some guys would rather have a fat wife for 5 years than an HB9 for a month.
It's like saying "She's with him because HAPPINESS".
I don't support cheating. Just saying people will always stick to whatever they BELIEVE to be their best option. The more VALUE you hold in that person's eyes, the more you can get away with.
Of course. But forgiving someone is not the same as being ok with it.
A high VALUE man will get more chances. A low value men will be out the door the minute her ego is bruised.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
