"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 relationship between sex and marriage - from Hef himself

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
The article is a good piece of self-promotion. Insofar as the link between sex and marriage, apparently even Hef himself doesn't know how to keep a relationship decently hot. Doesn't mean it can't be done.
He gets dumped by women. He also keeps in touch with exes. They LJBF him. He gets used by 20-something bimbos like that what's-her-name he was keeping in style at the mansion and it turns out she was cheating on him (recall when she was interviewed about that, admitting she cheated on him in a national article and said, "I didn't mean to hurt him" uh huh, uh huh). I'll bet he's still friends with her though. Props to him for Playboy and changing the face of America, but you have to ask, what else doesn't he know?

That's probably the case, but I also figure it is in large part due to the fact that he's just plain old; withered body, weak in bed... the starlets just can't stand it. He doesn't get women by virture of being a desirable man, he gets his women through money alone. "Do you want to be in the magazine? Then be in my bedroom at 8 pm".
At least, that's how I'd run things.

i was married for 12yrs and had sex everyday, and it was the best sex i've ever had.... up until 3 years ago that is. 
Of course he's gotten, and still gets (to his surprise), women through his celebrity status, no DOUBT about it. But his AFCism can be seen all the way back to when he was creating Playboy magazine. Keep in mind this guy was promoting a life style where what made you the cool guy were things like your detailed knowledge of which hifi system delivered the best sound and knowing about the key players in college football and which Miles Davis record was coming out that month. Nothing about being a real man. And when it came to how to handle women, the Playboy Adviser made up a lot of stories to keep horny readers entertained. He's a product of his celebrity.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
