Some guys have all the luck. And some guys don’t have any luck at all. I have friends that perpetually have bad luck with women. It is a vicious cycle that happens over and over again. They meet an amazing woman and they are in seventh heaven for a few weeks. Then, sure enough I get a call. I know before they even open their mouths what it is about: they got dumped. I can’t quite figure out. I happen to think they are great guys, but for some reason, they just don’t last in a relationship.

I’ve done my own informal studies trying to figure out just why some of my friends have amazing girlfriends — they are usualy my PUA friends — and how come others can’t keep a girl around to save their life. After speaking to many of them, I came up with my own unscientific conclusions on what makes a girl stick around and what doesn’t. I could probably write a book on it all at this point, but I’m just going to share some of the key factors that seem to lead to men getting dumped.

Here are the top few of them:

1. Maintain your hygiene. We guys douse on the cologne, polish our shoes and iron our clothes when we are on the prowl for women, but then as soon as we get a girl, we throw on dirty clothes from the hamper, don’t comb our hair or shave and don’t even bother to shower before a date. Don’t get too comfortable. You’ll hear me say this a few times. Shower, shave, etc. as if it were your first date. Do this every time you get together. Married couples who have been together for 50 years will tell you this matters.

2. Have good manners. Just because she’s your girlfriend doesn’t mean you can leave the bathroom door open when you do your business and let her hear and smell every minute. You still have to remember the rules on How To Get A Girlfriend. It also doesn’t mean farting, burping, and letting the door slam on her. Be sure you maintain your manners and treat her as if you just met.

3. Don’t be a pushover. Even if you have decided she is the love of your life – actually especially if she is – do everything in your power to maintain your own life and your own personality. Otherwise, if you agree with everything she says and don’t have opinions, you become a pushover and not the person she fell for in the first place.

4. Make her feel special. Always make an effort to appreciate her. In other words, don’t take her for granted. Don’t assume that she’s always going to be there for you. Don’t get too comfortable. Stay on our toes. Surprise her with little notes or texts or calls to let you know you are thinking about her. All of these things keep the relationship fresh.

5. Be reliable. Be where you say you are going to be when you say you are going to be there. Easy enough.
