"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.

Hey all... I'm the editor of my school's newspaper and well, I've had a sort of writer's block for the last few days. It seems I'm burnt out with writing.

I don't know how many of you guys write on a regular basis, but what do you do to break your blocks? What do you do when you're out of ideas?

Thanks all.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Maybe you should take a couple days off. When I run out of ideas I just take a walk or something and usually when I'm out I see something unusal and write about that. Since you're with your school maybe try watching the news more or hook up with friends and see if they have any interesting ideas.

Just start writing. ANYTHING. Even if it is absolute garbage, oftentimes when I do that I think of something better.

My AIM name is gflash4001 and MSN is [email protected] if you'd like to chat with a fellow writer.
