"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.

Out of curiosity, do you guys ever drink wine?

If so, what kind do you get?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Franzia, the "wine in a box" company, makes a sangia that I really like. $12 US for a 5L box. Lower alcohol than other wines, but not as headache inducing, either.

I always cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food…
Usually a high quality white zin.
 

"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.

I like my wine white. Red generally gives me heartburn.

But on the same topic, brewing your own wine can be fun. I've got fruit trees in my yard, and I've been dying to try making booze straight from apples and grapes.

I drink mostly white wine, preferably Chardonnay grapes and preferably Chablis, but others work too. I occasionally drink red wine too, I really like Australian Shiraz wines.

I drink wine maybe 40% of the times I drink, if not it's mostly craft beers. I usually don't drink what everyone else is drinking.

I'm okay with white wine, red wine for me is an instant headache in a bottle.

Was more a suds and shots guy. I don't drink much if any these days.

I drink locally made wine, it's $3 for 1.5 liters. Anything at a store is either cheap trash from which you get a headache or heartburn, or the good stuff is really expensive, but then again good stuff compared to local home made wine is trash, even if it's from France or Italy.

I make wine myself from my own grapes, but I don't get a lot of it, just 35 liters.

I don't get the whole wine culture, when you pay a whole sht load of money for a bottle which is less than a liter. Of course women are into wine, it's glamour.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I love it. As much as I can, I try to pair it with the food. If you do your homework before dinner with a chick you can come off looking like you "know" wine which can be an indicator of high(er) value and a way to help seal the deal. Also, a good cabernet with steak is fan-effing-tastic. Check out a book called: "What to drink with what you eat". It breaks down different wines to pair with food based on what either what wine you have or what food you are going to eat.
