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.

The Girl I Fired

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

:D When guys play their hand first, they literally can't help themselves.

She has now texted me 10 straight days.

My last girl took 6 months before I reached this point.

It went like this:

Me: "I think you're in love with me."
Her: "That might be a stretch!"
Me: "I like maybe?"
Her: (crickets)
Me: "You're fired."
(20 hours goes by)
Her: "I don't love people that easily. It's nothing personal about you. I really do like you though and I do enjoy spending time with you. I had fun on our last date. I do want to see you again. I really do want to see more of the photos. Did you photos not come out that good? I don't care what a web site says... please send more photos!"

(20 more texts from her)

Yeah. Listen to what she says. Girls aren't always being as cryptic as we think they are. You are in danger of over-qualifying her - in a kind of reversed psychology kind of way, she might think that you want her to love you :D Sarcasm and irony don't really travel well in text, and it might easily come across as you seeking her validation.

And, speaking of validation, she's right. You need to give that 'ratings' website sh!t a rest. Why do you care so much what a bunch of under-sexed basement-dwellers think of the women you date? That is pure validation seeking mate, and is pretty lame. No offense, like.
 

"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.

I don't think we can rate the raters and undo the ratings. The rating site is a constant. I've run the same photos 6 months apart and they score consistently.

The ratings site knocks these girls off their high horses - they think they are 10's. It was the fact this one didn't score as high that made my interest go down - guess what effect that had on her interest level?

Without a consensus I can't compare photos properly. I'm seeking photos rated 99/99/99. That is the goal. I'm trying to find girls who I think will deliver. My last girl rated 98/98/98 and 99/98/97 in her best two photos.

So Monday night we broke up (she said "I'm fed up, good night" and I replied "Do guys your age really put up with you? I suppose if you pay for drinks...." and she was furious. But then I texted "forgive me" and she literally sent 5 texts (now 11 out of 12 days of texting), called my cell phone, emailed, called my land line (to apologize and confess her love) and then sent 5 texts singing my praises (I'm the most well put together man she knows). Could firing girls be the key? Come to think of it, the key point of my last relationship was when I threatened to fire her. It's like Marriage 1.0. They do what we say, or they starve. Ah, the good old days!

After getting her to send 25 text messages today, I got her to agree to a 2.5 hour round trip via Uber so she will visit me tomorrow.

This is key: you get them to chase hard, then get them to do things they never imagined they would do. Months later they will confess how much they were impressed when they realized they had fallen to that degree.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Real men show photos of hotter women (and themselves).

Bitter betas try to knock other men and women down.
What do you rate her as, particularly in that photo? And what would be a 9 or 10 just for a frame of reference?

Well, she is 20, blue eyed, Caucasian, tall, got hired at the best strip club to work nights, is not overweight, and has real boobs, so girls like that are always at least a 6. I give her a 7.5.

As a frame of reference for an HB9, my last model will always be the benchmark. No girl scored higher. Here's a true apples to apples - on that same train car. No comparison. The other girl's legs look fat now that I see them side by side.

Here is what Photofeeler rated her - show me the girls you are dating.

Neither of those girls are my type at all but I just wanted your frame of reference because the second one seems nowhere near as good as the first (blonde). Second one does come off as fat and a bit damaged looking but Blondie has a bit of life in her.

I don't care what rating is websites say. Tbh that **** is just for week faggots without their own opinions, hence asking for YOUR frame of reference.

I love the site. It even pointed out that you were correct about that not being a great photo. If the site were random, then if you posted the same photo 6 months apart, would it come out to the exact same score?

Here was the highest rated photo ever, one of my happiest moments with her.



Here was her second highest rated photo (taken 6 months prior).

 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
