"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.

You know guy friends who pretend they are cool with you and agree to chill with you but then ditch you for some other friends without even letting you know. It does not bother me in the way that I feel affected, but more as to why would you simply not inform someone you're not interested or have other plans as opposed to just lying about meeting you there/chill later? What's up with this ***** like behavior? lol!
 

"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 had a friend like that before. There is really not much you can do about it except that when you make plans with them, do it with a grain of salt. In other words, don't expect them to show up, and also you should invite more than just them to hang out.

as a general rule of thumb, most of my guy friends who flake out on planned events are lazy. The past two years, I have not made more of an effort to hang out with them. I guess this is how friends go their separate ways after college.

yeah some of them are lazy, but I know some who will agree to come out some where then when they don't turn up, my friends and I go some where else and see that fool there with other people. My point is just say you don't wanna go for whatever reason instead of pretending that you want to come too.
