"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 can't imagine the train wreck this site would have been with political threads all through the election season, so congrats to whoever made that decision.

I know on a few occasions I've delved close to bringing up politics as well and I apologize.

I do have a question for everyone out there however

Would you date someone who disagrees with you politically, i.e. is a polar opposite of you?

Just wondering because I did for 3 years. It wasn't bad until this year, LOL
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I have and I can. Reasonable people can disagree about politics. There are some political beliefs that I find absolutely repellant, but short of a girl putting on a Klan costume or something, we should be okay.

Thanks Gio, you were smart about that no doubt.

I know we disagree a bit and I apologize for pushing the line sometimes on some of my discussions.

Anyways, it sure keeps alot of headaches off this board.

I've heard of playing dress-up, but that crosses the line into someone's freaky fantasy!

Not any fantasy of mine.
 

"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.

If my girl dressed up like that...She'd have some explaining to do.
