The following list has been compiled as the result of
insights on these forums as well some personal
experiences and sources. Now, in life there are sometimes exceptions to rules, but in general these rules should be followed. Also, some of these aren't "rules" per se, but more like observations or insights. Enjoy.

RULE 1: Women communicate in two modes: the way
things are, and the way they WISH things were.
Whenever in doubt, assume it's the latter choice.

RULE 2: Women desire attention the same way that
guys desire sex. Give attention sparingly. This is your
currency.

RULE 3: Do not become so invested in any one girl
that you cannot simply walk away.

RULE 4: Confidence attracts women even more than
good looks. This is why you see fat, ugly, or dumpy
guys with hot chicks.

RULE 5: Desperation repels women. You will attract
more women when you don't care if you're attracting
women.

RULE 6: After getting a girl's phone number, wait at
least two days to call her to avoid appearing
desperate.

RULE 7: Use the phone only to set up dates. Not to
talk about weather, current events, how her day went,
etc. Save that conversation for the date.

RULE 8: If you call a girl and get an answering
machine, don't leave a message. Just try again
another time. Girls, as a general rule, do not return
phone calls.

RULE 9: First dates should be short and creative. NO
"dinner and a movie". Things involving some activity
are best: pool, bowling, roller blading, mini-golf,
dancing, etc. Keep it FUN.

RULE 10: Do not give gifts early in the relationship.
Doing so makes it appear as though you are
attempting to purchase affection.

RULE 11: Girls will test guys to see how much they
can skate by with. Do not be tempted to give in.
Speak your opinions, stand by your convictions, and
don't put up with excessive amounts of BS.

RULE 12: A person can only take advantage of you as
much as you let them.

RULE 13: There is no such thing as a "soulmate" or
"the one". It doesn't exist. There are millions of girls
out there, though, and many of them have the traits
you are looking for.

RULE 14: Don't put any woman up on a pedestal. You
risk not being able to reach her. Women are people
too... or so I'm told.

RULE 15: If a woman disrespects you or your time,
particularly early in the relationship, don't hesitate to
get rid of her. NEXT!

RULE 16: No relationship is a committed one until
both people agree that it is. Until then, anything is fair
game for both parties involved.

RULE 17: Never be the one that says, "I love you"
first.

RULE 18: The challenge is part of the fun. Don't
short-change the girl. Let her pursue you. The harder
something is to obtain, the more valuable it is
perceived to be.

RULE 19: If a girl cheats on you, she is gone. No
exceptions.

RULE 20: Never date a girl who has more problems
than you do.

RULE 21: Do not date girls from work. Work is
stressful enough.

RULE 22: Dating is a "numbers game". Accept the
fact that you're going to get rejected more times than
not. Suck it up and get back out there.

RULE 23: Getting advice about women from a woman
is like asking Osama bin Laden to tell you the
locations of all his terrorist camps.

RULE 24: Where women are concerned, pay more
attention to what they do than what they say.

RULE 25: Realize that women are tricky, lying,
manipulative, devious, scheming, sneaky, cunning,
calculating, shrewd, and Machiavellian creatures. Love
them anyway.

RULE 26: Bros before hoes. Any girl that can be
stolen from your best friend isn't worth stealing from
your best friend.

RULE 27: Stay away from your ex. Chances are that
you won't be able to get back with her. Chances are
also good that if you DO succeed in getting back with
your ex, you'll wish that you hadn't.

RULE 28: Don't reveal too much about yourself too
soon. Remain a mystery.

RULE 29: Girls are not the only thing in life. Have
other things in your life that excite you.

RULE 30: If you aren't sure about when to bend or
break a rule, go with your instinct. If it's wrong, that's
a good lesson for next time... and there's always a
next time.
