"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.

I've got a rapport going with a few girls right now that would make perfectly good partners (6-7.5) but don't really affect my heart rate too much. However, I DO have a couple possibilities I'm pursuing that are so hot I have to really concentrate to stay calm (7.5-9).

The issue? Fate is cruel...both of the hotties are in my once-a-week Friday classes, and the regular cute girls I see three to four times a week. Should I go for the more-likely catches or the less-likely catches? It's not like having high standards is a bad thing, but it's not like those'll keep me warm at night...
 

"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.

eliminate the ones with boyfriends then if any are left go for the hottest.

infact go for the one you would be happiest with first, no harm in trying is there just make sure if you don't get her the others don't know they where second choice :)

Makes perfect sense, man...that's just what I thought I'd get.

One thing I've also noticed is that I relax a hell of a lot more with women I won't make a move on (married/attached women, coworkers, etc). For some reason the fact I can't do anything about it makes me take more of a take-no-prisoners approach to flirting...meetings with my career counselor are NOTHING but thinly failed flirting sessions right now.

You stole the words out of my mouth haha. This is the best advice, go with the one that has the highest value first, and work yor way down :rockon:
 

"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.
