"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.

Its true, we all are, everyone in the world. Give me one person that isnt Frusterated with life, try, everyone is constantly striving to become greater, to get more women, money, fame, whatever their ambitions are. Think about it, the biggest football star at your school probably wishes he was at a different school, with more partying, near the beach or something. We are all frusterated. When you get a steady girlfriend, you will want a hotter one, if you get a hot girlfriend, you will want a wild one. So you know what you do? Stop prolonging your happiness, be happy now. That is what TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED is, not appreciating your current situation.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Be happy now, but never be content. Being content is deluding yourself into believing that everything is the way you would like it, when in fact it is not.

If there are things you want changed, change them. If you have a hot girl but want one better in bed, go get her.

Stagnation only leads to regret.

Yes, but sometimes, the only way to achieve the nirvana of happiness is to be content.

Cuz happiness doesn't come from outside, for the most part, it comes from within.

Do what you love and you will love your life. Simple.

-peace-

This probably won't make sense unless you're into psychology but The AFC in all of us is analogous to Freud's Superego...So I'd have to agree. We're all socially conditioned to play the "who wants to be the biggest AFC" game...
 

"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.
