"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 think sometimes we focus too much on the negative and what we don't get from women. Compared to who you were before, though, there must be at least some good changes.

I am curious to know: Since you changed your ways from being an AFC, a wussy, or just a regular guy, what has been the most positive shift in applying DJhood? I am guessing there will be commonalities across people. No overly short answers. Be as detailed as possible so that other DJs can learn from your insight.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I guess "Discovering that I don't need a woman in my life" is important, since you repeated it 13 times. I notice there seem to be three main branches to this manosphere thing:

1) The first is the Men Going Their Own Way. They don't need a woman in thier life, so they've pretty much abandoned the idea of having a woman in thier life. They are making plans for proceeding without one, and doing what they can to be happy on thier own without one.

2) The second "don't need a woman in my life", but they see this as a strategy. They think this attitude will make them more attractive to women, and thus it will actually have the effect of bringing more women into thier life. Regarding this, I certainly think that you do not want to be needy (which is a turn off), but beyond that I'm not convinced that this attitude carries any special magnetism with it.

3) The third is a combination of the two. They don't need a woman in their life, but what they've given up on is the idea of having a woman in thier lives as far as relationships go. They've decided they won't need wife or steady girlfriend, but they will instead just keep women around for sex.

Learning how to handle sh!t tests and to judge a woman by her actions and not her words. To be fair, learning to judge anyone, and not just women, by their actions.

The things that I have learnt that have helped me the most would be:

1. Learning to never engage logically with a girl, whether that be a sh!t test or any relationship matter.

2. Only dating highly interested women and as El Payaso said, judging them by their actions.

3. Having the mindset of being able to walk away at any time. (this was the hardest thing to instill for me)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Not letting a girl hold me down to the point where I couldn't become the person that I wanted to be. I was too busy trying to do everything for her when I was neglecting my own plans. She made me feel guilty for wanting to put my own needs ahead of her's. Until I decided that being manipulated being under her thumb was not helping me I let her do that for a long time. Had enough of it with her after I broke free I saw many doors open up for me including religion became an important part of my life. It was a learning experience that taught me well which I think made me a better person all in all.

Right behind you
1. I'm no longer the greatest anymore. I'm now the double greatest.
2. I know how to deal with women a hella lot better.
3. No longer a pandering omega AFC phaggot. Maybe not DJ but way ahead of the game compared to what I used to be
4. I took the red pill. I am never going back (even if I could).
5. I'm happy.

I'm not a Don Juan. I'm trying to be.

Being a real Don Juan is a work-in-progress. Its a perpetual learning experience. For me at least.

It's about overcoming boundaries, releasing fear, doing what I want to do and having great fun whilst doing it independant of the opinion of others.

I strive to be better than the guy I was before.

Any woman you date could have put out on the first date before.

One you have come to terms with that...you are golden.

Very interesting shifts in world views here. For me, the greatest challenge was taking women off the pedestal and realizing that they're not these little angels that they are portrayed to be. Also, I learned that one's biggest obstacle in gaming women is often oneself. Lastly, there is not such thing as "out of my league." Sometimes an HB8 would be crazy for you right after an HB6 rejects you.
 

"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.

I guess i'm more willing to take risks without caring much what the female will think,and i'm more confortable with myself without caring much for the results, I will do what I want and feel is right.

1 - taking more risks, and with that changing my life for better
2 - more confortable and happy with myself
3- better at dealing with people, both male and female
4- always changing for better

Having a girl to go out with to social events and sometimes arriving at social events with a girl that is hot. A lot more respect from guys around me and just loving life a lot more.

Just the general "not giving a fck" factor.

Both because
A. Most women love it
B. If they don't... You don't give a fck!

Not a Don Juan, but on my way.
