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.
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.

There are certain quality girls I am into (beautiful, intelligent, good personality), who have this "suspicion" issue. I'm hoping to overcome. Maybe cI can, maybe I can't.zekko said:It seems odd to me that if you go by most of the advice around here, guys don't want girls to trust them. They want to convince them that they might be seeing other girls on the side (whether they are or not), they never want them to be too sure. This is supposedly seen as some sort of ideal situation. So it's strange to see someone complain about it.
I don't see it as a bad or as an ideal situation. It's just something I deal with from time to time.zekko said:It seems odd to me that if you go by most of the advice around here, guys don't want girls to trust them.

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.
Not true at all. Any woman regardless of looks can act unatural around a good looking man. Good looking men have also gotten divorced, dumped, and screwed over by women. Good looking men have made poor decisions on women. Good looking men have also put women on a pedestal. Lots of black and white thinking here.Poon King said:Only extremely attractive women will act naturally around you.They are used to drooling beta losers worshiping them regardless of their lack of personality and lack of game.
U dress down. Give mt best way way into the friendship.new_hotness said:I'm 3 months out of long term relationship. For the first month or so, I was just taking it easy, not looking to date, and just went out just to grab a drink and chill.
After that, I was ready to date again. One issue I am repeatedly running into is that many women don't trust me. They expect me to be unfaithful, sleep around, etc. and I am not like that at all.
One of the main issues I encounter is when girls "lock up" when I try talking to them. Any sort of "daygame" approach has this potential, as girls sometimes freeze and can't really act normally around me.
This can sometimes happen even when I've seen the girl a second or third time, and they still can't quite relax.
I have gotten slightly discouraged by this.
One woman in particular was a) angry with me at first, b) then very nervous then c) ignored me completely the third time I spoke to her.
Any tips or pointers appreciated.

Women don't trust a lot of men regardless of looks. Good looking men have gotten screwed over, divorced, dumped by women. Good looking men put women on a pedestal. Women don't always act natural around good looking men. What you're saying is not true talking in absolute terms.Poon King said:Which part is "not true at all"?
Women act different around attractive men. Its a fact.
And since VERY good looking men are rare to begin with... it makes it all the more true.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
