"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'm a 21 year old junior in college, and recently have taken interest in a girl I met who is a grad student at my school. She's 24, she has her masters degree, and is working on her PhD right now. So basically she's past the whole college-partying thing, and is in a different stage of life than most other girls I've been going after.

Also, I have a crappy car with duct tape fixing various parts of it, rust, paint peeling, rattle noises, and various stains on most of the seats. I also live in a lower flat that is pretty much a piece of crap. In my room there's nowhere to sit besides my bed and no comfortable way to even sit on the bed much less even big enough for two people to fit on. We have a living room, but no tv or anything of any attraction in there. So basically I have a ghetto car and live in a crappy house. These will definitely not help my situation. I would be embarrassed to drive her anywhere in my car or have her over to my place.

It just seems like this is a little different ball game than I'm used to...any advice?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Yeah but the thing is, how do I get that to happen without basically saying "ok lets go over to your place, oh and by the way can you pick me up?"

You are focusing too much on material things. Click with her on a personal level at first. Let her see that you're one of the most funnest and coolest guys she has ever met. After which, I'm sure, she won't care about your crappy car/house. Don't try to impress the girl with a nice car or a nice house. Impress them with your nice personality.

And don't forget, she is a grad student. She wants to have fun...with you. Don't worry about trying to match up to some imagined benchmark of the perfect guy that she's looking for at this stage in her life. Just have fun with her. Everything else will flow naturally.

No Phd student is going to marry a loser in college who has a ****ty apartment/car etc.

If your family is poor and you live liek that, but you SUCCEED AND ARE AWESOME AT SCHOOL, and you are very drivein in school in a very relevant area, then she will care abotuu you. But otherwise no.

PhD women are focus and result oriented...they look for the same in men. No body wants a leech to support. Would you want a poor girl hanging on you if you were rich? It would bel ike taking care of a grown baby.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

A woman is a woman, no matter if she has a PHD or a GED. You are assuming that a PHD student wouldn't want to have anything to do with him. He ain't marrying her, he wants fo FVCK HER. All he needs is some confidence and game.

What kind of nonsense is this?! having success in school does not equal success with ladies.

That was your worst argument yet. Men don't give a fvck how much money a woman has in her pocket, if she is hot.

Oh look its Jessica Alba look alike but she is broke, I really don't want to fvck her now....:rolleyes:

I'll add that most PhD students have crappy apartments and crappy cars themselves because they are living off stipends which seldom compare to the pay of full time jobs. Unless they are living with/off their parents don't expect them to have much.
