Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

For shiz!

Spent a great hour with a financial planner in her mid thirties a few months back. Quite doable, but not quite as good as her photos. Really had her sh!t together - a proper, functioning adult - very similar values to boot. Good rapport & good kino throughout, buuuuuut she had this aggressive, masculine energy that didn't work for me. Turns out I do like warmth and vulnerability! Who knew?!

But yeah, good way to spend an hour regardless.
 

"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.

I will check it out, and you might be right. On the next date I will try the opposite approach.

But just so we're on the same page, do you believe that no matter what variation of "we're not having sex tonight" you get, the answer is take what you want anyway?
If she says straight out "we aren't having sex tonight", its one of the surest signs you are going to get laid if you play your cards right.

No, you don't "take" what you want. At least not until you are both naked in the bedroom and fvcking her. Then you "take" what you want.

Up until that point you actively attempt to get what you want and make her reject you at least 3 times in your attempt to get it.

Well, she didn't exactly say it in those terms. I know that quote is usually a good thing, but this was different, although you could have perceived it the same way. But her look (hair in a bun) and demeanor early in the date (purse between us) didn't point to that.

I would actually agree I balked with this girl, and it's probably inexcusable. Such thin skinned-ness is usually unlike me, but I was really taken aback by how charming this girl was. I feel that a rejection would have stung a lot more than your average American ho, who I spit on. I've gotta work on that.

Honestly "We're not having sex tonight" a lot of the time means she is thinking about sex and wants to have sex with you....

But she didn't say that. She was talking about online dating and goes:

"This is not a date, we're just hanging out."

She was smiling and making eye contact when she said it...
 

"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.

If a chick is into me she isn't going to say that, or isn't going to tell me about guys, or anything that she thinks might f*ck it up for her. What's annoying is that they still meet up if they aren't feeling it. Good on you for being non-reactive.
