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.
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'm (a very youthful looking) 60, and my ideal woman's age is 30.I'm 48 and really want nothing to do with women 40 and over.
12 to 20 years younger is ideal
Many of us AREThe video assumes men are stupid
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.
I think they do understand its their currency, however most don't understand it is a currency that loses value over time. They are too emotional and in the moment with their feelings to develop such wisdom that would allow them to understand things like this.The video assumes men are stupid.
Women over 40 have no leverage. Heck, over 30 they are crashing and burning. Women over 40 have to attach to some male, almost any average male they can find, because they have no other options. It's like if you are hungry, and don't have the money for good food, you are going to settle for McDonalds.
I don't understand how women, with how Intune they are to men's desires and wants and needs, don't understand that their YOUTH is their currency.
wife goggles... most effective when the husband meets the wife when she is at her most attractive and when other men chase her, but she still chooses her marry the husband. Even more effective if at the time of marriage the husband has yet to be successful.Then she asked, how does one expect to keep a man when her beauty fades?
No, they don't become desperate they become delusional.When women are young, they feel a massive sense of opportunity, due to all the massive attention they get, so they naturally go for the best possible dude they can get.
The opportunity costs (all the attention they get in real life and online) are huge for "settling," so they keep looking, thinking they can find Mr. Perfect.
The older they get, the less likely this seems, which corresponds with less attention from males.
Soon they become desperate and are stuck choosing from within a pool of men that are willing to date a 40 something women. Not guys in the top of their league.
Therefore, men who are used to getting passed over are now getting attention.
I don't understand why it takes a 20-minute video to explain this.
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.

Dating apps... also known by its manosphere name, "cvck carousel" - where average women get their backs blown out by chads.Most older women become institutionalised on dating apps. They have delusional expectations and reject guys who probably would be a good match for them in the hope of landing Prince Charming who either doesn’t exist or who is not interested in her other than for pump and dump reasons.
I’m no Chad (I rate myself a 7/10 on a good day) but many of the women I’ve been rejected by barely scrape into the 7/10 category.
Some women are on dating apps for years.
The only guys getting lots of attention on dating apps are the top 10-20% and this includes older women. Older women have even higher expectations than younger women as they often carry a lot more baggage. I’m 58 so I have some experience here having dated women aged 45+.
In general, dads need to teach their daughters how to make a sandwich. after a stressful day of work, a sandwich is always appreciatedAdvice from the old lady:
If you have a daughter, teach her how to be a great companion for a man. Its a great value add.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
It's a type of procrastination. They know that youth is their currency but they lack the discipline and willpower to capitalize on it. If you are a hot woman in her early or mid-20's living in a big city, you have a very real opportunity to meet and ultimately marry a seriously successful guy. There are nearly 25 million millionaires in America. But that would require discipline and social intelligence and most modern women lack both. So what do most young women do? They waste their golden years doing stupid sh!t and see their options dwindle in quality and quality with every passing year.I don't understand how women, with how Intune they are to men's desires and wants and needs, don't understand that their YOUTH is their currency.
Bad parenting is the issue. Dad's didn't teach their daughters how to act correctly. They didn't tell their daughters to "go make a sandwich" often enough. instead, they either treated their daughters as "little princesses" or expected their daughters to be "girl bosses". What did society expect when these girls grew up? Basically, treating daughters as "girl bosses" is basically telling them to act like men. Other men just dont want to marry or deal with these type of women. Society needs to change a bit.It's a type of procrastination.

Shouldn't some posters here be thankful for this? If dads did train their daughters correctly for all this time, there would be few chances for "recreational use". From the way I see it, most men here do not want to marry, if any. So why should they give a **** that women weren't trained to be loyal wives or competent mothers? Hardly anyone here even wants to cohabitate with women.No dad wants to tell his daughter that her main job is to be a good companion to a guy.
It's the chicken vs egg problem. Who here wouldn't want a woman who is submissive, loyal and takes care of herself? A lot of men now don't want women because woman are no longer "women", but harpies, "girl bosses", "rude", etc.... If more women are "women", men would line up to wife them up. Look at the passport bros.Shouldn't some posters here be thankful for this? If dads did train their daughters correctly for all this time, there would be few chances for "recreational use".

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
