The Rules could only have been created in the US

The concept “Rules to catch a guy” can only have been born here, in the US.

In Europe dating is sort of simple... at least at the beginning.

In Latin America even more so.

Here, you need rules. And you need to be trained to use them effectively (efficiency being key for romance… I guess?). And, of course, you have to pay for the training.

So your date may be paying for dinner (an absolute must according to The Rules) but you actually already invested a bundle to be trained… Which means you need a return of at least three or four dinner invitations to recoup your investment.

An interesting study: how many women got their penny worth of romance when using The Rules.
