I can only speak for myself but I'd like a 12oz Rib-eye steak and a BJ for my Birthday.
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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
But hey, you want to bring statistics into this? Ok.devilkingx2 said:lets see here, 50% divorce rate, 1% chance you'll end up sexually compatible, 99% chance you'll come out of the divorce with a whole lot of his money

I never "forced" him to wait. He freely chose to get involved in a relationship with me. He knew from the very beginning, before we even started dating, that this was how I was. This wasn't a "surprise". If he wants that, that's his choice. No one is forcing him to stay.
You want to use the car analogy? Fine. I'd rather have a brand new car backed by a phenomenal warranty than an old klunker that's been around the lot a half a dozen times. Let's pretend that car is a manual, too. Some inexperienced test driver has probably ground the gears or rode on the clutch when THEY test drove and now the transmission is ever so slightly damaged. But you can't tell when you test drive it...you find out years later.But you've never driven that brand new car? You don't know how it feels, how it turns, etc. You can't "guess" on it.
Sam, you can't catch crabs from a 3 dollars wh0re, stop daydreaming and start heavy petting your hard drive full of porn. I honestly feel sorry for you. The time you spent here didn't help you at all.SamTheHobit said:Oh stfu. Enjoy your tainted ho while I have a pure virgin.

Yeah, Atom, I was thinking the same thing. At the least, she's looking for answers to something. Or...there could be something missing in her relationship (hmmm) and she's getting that thrill on here.Atom Smasher said:What I DO question, is why the OP is here on SS, regularly participating in conversations with men on a men's website that is devoted to men learning how to deal with women. Does her boyfriend/fiancé, whatever he is, know about this?
If someone I was dating was hanging out on a site like this, I would regard that as a very serious red flag.
