"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.

A couple of things that should be pointed out-

1) It has been brought up before, but in case anyone forgot, this is an internet board designed for the specific purpose if discussing women.

2) My Sosuave personality is not a direct reflection of my real life personality. My friends have a different view of me than any of you do, I can assure you.

3) Talk of "over analyzing" wreaks of femininity. It reminds me of women I know who don't even try to know themselves or the world around them. It's all "You need to take a chance" "You never put yourself out there". To them everything is left to fate and if it's meant to be, it's meant to be, you have little control over your destiny.

Men seek to know themselves and the world around them. Regardless of what iqqi or any other woman (or woman-man) will tell you, women are not random, unexplainable creatures. As men we would be doing ourselves an injustice to pretend that is true and leave out fate to "chance", as women would have us do.
 

"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.

Leave it to you Str8 to put it all in concise and clear context. I'm probably the other person that made this similar point, or was trying to at least. It's a woman's perogative to analyze/misanalyze feelings and moods, but it's also a feminine perogative to dislike really knowing the truth about the world around them.
