"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.

Show stopper.

They taste like an ash tray, age much faster, and have this constant need to pacify themselves by putting something in their mouth.
True on the taste like an ash tray... Often times the excess smoking seeps into their vaginal juices and this is what you taste if you eat her!
 

"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 dated a smoker for a while. It was around the time I found this site and was going through a really hard time. We didn't get very far.

We met up a few months back and made out before I dropped her home. Babysitter was waiting. Lol. She's an excellent kisser and I don't know how she did it but she hid the cigarette taste very well. I don't recall noticing it.

Not to put her on a pedestal but she is someone I could see myself in a long term relationship with if she didn't smoke. (Yes I know this goes against the single mom rule). She has a lot of strong men in her family and they're all very close. I met her father once and he seemed to like me. He's a really good man.

The smoking is a deal breaker for me though (plus her entire family smokes). I've been getting my health in order over the last few years and her habit wouldn't make a good fit.

Last time we chatted she did mention she was trying to quit though.

Women that smoke is a turn off for me, yuck, I don't smoke so I prefer not to be around women that have the nasty habit.

Won't date a chick who smokes. My last GF smoked, but told me she was quitting. Months and months went by she still smoked. Gave her and ultimatum, ciggs or me. She supposedly quit, but later found a bag of mouth wash and toothpaste in her car. She lied to me so many times about it, I later found out she never quit, she was a damn good liar and turned out to be a BPD. From my experience, women who smoke are not relationship material.

A couple of smokes a day is ok , but a pack a day, shows no restraint.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

If a girl smokes, that's a big turn off for me. I do like hookah and cigars every once in awhile so if they did that, I wouldnt care. However, I wouldn't date anyone long term that smoked on a consistent basis and I dont care how hot they are.

I used to be bothered by that sort of thing because it's gross and terrible for her health, but recently I've decided to be more practical

her health in 20 years is not your concern. and ciggarettes aren't so unhealthy that they'd do anything major in a short period of time, so it doesn't matter if she's destined to die at 50 from lung cancer, unless she's 45(or more realistically, 49) right now that's not gonna be your problem.

however I'd still prefer a non-smoker unless the rumors are true that smokers are easier.

weed smokers are pretty cool in my book/experience though.
