"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.

It never ceases to amaze me how all the most insecure guys I know, who're trapped in these dead-end LTRs and scared sh!tless to man-up and adopt an "I don't give a fukk" approach, suddenly find that their controlling GFs do a 180 in their attitude and go all wet between the legs once they stick to taking the frame of the relationship back. ...
It's because they are still defining themselves by their interactions with women instead of intrinsically. These women are their lifelines, they'd feel more comfortable chopping off an appendage. Actually, by their actions they seem to have already chopped one off and gave it to these women in a little box tied with a pretty pink bow.
 

"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.

I can't afford NOT to diversify my portfolio anyway, to rely on this one girl working out would have been setting myself up for disaster. The truth is, I don't have the time to see her more than one night every two weeks or so anyway. Whether she thinks that's because of her bad behaviour or not is up to her. It also helps to only give a fukk about her feelings as much as she does yours, and not go any further out of your way than she would for you. It's like some kind of zen thing, you don't keep buying into a market with no returns. Anyway I don't know how things will turn out, but that's how they'll have to be. I may post back here from month to month as I observe my mistakes. mintxx
