"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.

Ok, so I've been Gaming this girl for awhile now. It seemed like I was losing her so I decided to go direct and be confident, assumed attraction, and I was largely rewarded. She's now returning texts quickly and largely doing exactly what I want her to do.

And it's irritating the hell out of me. The texting thing for example, she said she doesn't like texting and didn't return many of my texts. Now it's instant reply on a 1 to 1 basis. I guess it's like, now that I've figured out how to play her game, I've won and I'm not even sure the game was worth playing.

I don't get it, this is what I wanted so why aren't I even satisfied with this accomplishment?
 

"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.

It's hard to tell from a short message behind a computer, but it sounds to me like you didn't really want her as much as you thought you did. If you have this problem with every girl who is into you...well...maybe that's an issue. But you may just not be that into this particular girl...and now that you've won, it's not fun anymore. Why not see if this happens with other girls?

She was higher value to you because you had to chase her. Now that you "caught" her you realized that she's not as high value as you thought. It's happened to everyone, it's just a matter of time.

You wanted what you couldn't have.

texting girls is not an accomplishment and your sub-conscious knows it.
Set better goals and work hard to achieve them and you will feel more fulfilled/ satisfied.

Having the SS guides here is kinda a cheatsheet if you use it properly, so girls are not an achievement anymore. You know the game and how to play, so focus your energy on something that will actually challenge you. Girls shouldnt be primary or even secondary goals. They come waayyyy down the list!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You saw a nicely wrapped box with a nice, giant bow. When you opened it, the actual present sucks gorilla ball sac. What can you do? Pump and dump or drop her and look for something better. Props on successful game, tho.

Yup it's part of viewing yourself as the prize and having her meet your standards. I was totally into this one chick until recently when I heard she loves coke. Immediately turned off and I could care less. Weirdest thing now that I think about it.

Gentlemen,

Apologies for taking so long to get back to this thread. Yeah I agree, now that I've got her, I don't think I want her. I also kind of resent having to work so hard to get her now. Simply put, I know I can do better. She's a soft 7 and yet I've had several 8s and a 9 approach me during the short time I've been with her and countless other girls giving me IOIs.

This is interesting, I've never resented succeeding with a girl before.
