"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.

Outside from dating girls at work, do you have any other "off limits" areas where you refuse to pursue women?

The only one I can think of is that my hairstylist is pretty cute, and we've known each other for a while, and I think I could hit it if I wanted, but I'm so picky about my hair that I don't want to f*ck up what I've got going right now. :)

Other than that, that's all I've got. Anyone else?
 

"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.

Probably shouldn't go after your friend's ex until a reasonable amount of time has passed.

I'm still looking
I tend to avoid girls who are in the same social circle as me. I've seen entire groups of friends split up and take sides because one couple decided to date within the circle and break up. That **** isn't for me. Most of the girls I have dated, I was introduced to by a friend who isn't around much, at parties, or just random approaches at coffee shops or whatever.

Basically, I'll ask for a chicks number and date her if there are really good odds I would never see her again otherwise if I don't get the number.

Which is the vast majority of women BTW, and even the fatties and the uglies can fall in this category.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Fat, ugly, under 18, immature, annoying.

Taken girls don't bother me. That's actually my forte.

Bad hygeine, fat, obvious whackjobs, drug addicts (partying is OK to an extent, but Tweakers are a NO) and hardcore alcoholics. I can deal with some, if its just a fvck, but hygeine and weight standards are mandatory.

Strip clubs. I haven't had a single good experience dating strippers in my life.
I don't date single mom's either. Oh they may say they're not looking for a baby's daddy when it starts but two dates in, they're waiting for the ring.

I'd smash either if the opportunity arose, but I'd do that to girls at my job if there was a low risk of seeing them repeatedly. But I won't date or purse any of the above.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Well, let's see...

For me now, they have to be over a certain age, not JUST 18+. I'd say more or less 24 to 25.

No drugs. Smoking is a preferred NO NO, unless it's just socially.

No ex's of my GOOD friends.

Hygiene. I'm kinda picky, but I actually was seeing a girl once that said she didn't shower everyday and that was SUCH a huge turn-off for me. Maybe it's just me, but if I can find time to shower everyday, why can't everyone else? She actually said: Well, it's not like I'm sweating.

UGH.

I'd really hate to have gone down there on an off-day from a shower. Gross.

I know how you feel about these ATL chicks. Most of them are shallow and materialistic!
