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.

Sweet and attentive might mean she got off the other guy, perhaps he pushed her away or broke up. And if it isn't another guy, she just might be hanging with her girlfriends real tough, leaving you dragging behind with no care in the world.
Yeh.. the a few days ago... she says to me... lets forget all the outside stuff. Its just you and me. We can figure it out together.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Ok... i am... lots to comb through... thx
Just put the highest frequency phone numbers into that site I told you about doing a reverse phone search and see if it comes up with a dude's info or not. At least you'll know if she's conversing with a guy or a girl.

What was the site again. I have truthfinder
 

"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.

The earth i live on doesn't say this at all. The cheating is rampant man.
Their is a business in the city by me that is known for swingers and affairs.
A coworkers wives work there and its a real thing.
Was going on in a local church too.
It's actually true though. You're focussing on the cheating part. Yes, there's plenty of cheating. But you wouldn't want to engage too much with the woman's private life and her demands if she was married and had children, would you? I don't think so. Not by judging your comments I've read so far. It's way too stressful and time consuming.

If, on the other hand, the other guy is a beta, who's obsessed with the married woman, he might not give a f*ck and get all lovey-dovey with her, not caring about her being a clear-cut liability.

You still need to do your think like i was saying. She will come into you, and just leave it that way. It's hard and requires an incredible amount of discipline. And you need to have some of the manners of a guy with abundance, like they might forget a good percentage of what she says, he might be unavailable occasionally because he's doing his thing. And as long as you don't out and out abuse her, you can keep it going. Your reasons for pulling away need to be real,like your chasing a way better life foryourself.

I wouldn't be talking too much. Let her beg you to come to bed. Other than that you need to be bettering your position in life so you'd never accept this position again. Your gonna be real attractive to the world and living in 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.

But your reason at the time, was you loved her, for how you thought she made you feel? And the "potential" of what you could have grown together?

Just don't get in your feelings with her. It's your house(it IS your house, isn't it?). Do NOT move out. Just be cool. Be a good dad. Don't even be a diick to her(don't act butt hurt). Just don't trust her, and start covertly collecting evidence. Don't discuss anything with her. Everything is fine.

Now, realize your own part in this mess:
1) you entered your marriage with your eyes tightly closed, and then decided to ply then wide open...AFTER the wedding and birth of your children, which is completely bassackwards.
2) you role played being her previous lovers(and for all you know, current lovers), with her, which is just pathetic...and doesn't exactly earn her respect.
3) you suggested wife-swapping to your wife, making yourself look like an eager cuck.

I'm not stating any of this to dump on you. I'm just trying to point out that you made your own bed.

Just don't get emotional with her. Treat her like you would a valued employee, not irreplaceable, but valuable enough to not run off immediately.
I see your points. Well taken.
Yeh. Its like she has taken it piece by piece with information. She wont admit to anything. Even when i know the truth. Her 1st instinct is to lie... she was a sorority girl... i wasnt. Different colleges. Its like she values those relationshipe more than me and mine. Its 20 years removed from college... but its still there. Its disgusting.

That is true. There wasnt any knowledge of really any lies b4 marriage. Not admitted. Now i look at and i see that was her game... that she simply denies. I thought inwas dealing with a straight shooter... ive found out though that thatbis not the case.
