"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.

Do you need to tip when ordering food from a restaurant or a drink from a bar/nightclub in these two countries? I know in Toronto, Bartenders expect you to tip them $1-2 for every drink you order which is ridiculous.
 

"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.

In France the gratuities are included although buying one for the bartender at the pub rarely hurts. I'm not certain about Poland but it seems that tipping is mostly a Western thing.

I think it is kind of ridiculous too. You pay at least $4 to $5 for a beer that retails for just under $1 and then you're expected to tip $1 for someone to just hand you the beer lol. It's not that I don't want to tip or don't think servers should make money. But if you're paying over $4 for a beer plus paying for the help through tipping, it seems excessive. If the beer was $2 to $3 it wouldn't be so bad to tip. I didn't even mention you might have paid a cover charge lol. When I was going out most nights, I was spending $100s/month just for a few beers each night. You could buy a new car for what I was spending.
