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.

Anyone ever just lose interest?

I just turned 40 and can say by all accounts since I found this site my life has been a success. I am making great money.. I have zero bills and am financially secure. At 40 I’m in the best shape of my life and things should be looking up.

I’ve recently lost interest in the game. In my 20’s and 30’s I was like a rabid dog.. loved pulling tail and now there is zero desire. My buddy’s still want to go out but I can’t pull myself to even give it a go. I come home... make my meals for the next day... workout and go to bed. I have no idea what has happened?
 

"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.

When we get really focused and disciplined some of that other stuff can fall off.

When you chased tail it was probably a huge priotity. So much that it hurt the rest of your life and goals.

Do what your doing but allocate a few slivers of time for this activity. It's like riding a bike. It'll come back when you use it.

You found a higher purpose which doesn't revolve around women. Perfectly normal and you are in a phase. There will come a time when you do want to meet quality women that can compliment and enhance your life. Right now it isn't that time for you I'm guessing.

However, this might also be the best time to actually go out with women as you're totally not into it and thus will be your normal self and IDGAF mentality will be the strongest. Gals will sniff out that you're not desperate and have a purpose besides women. But obviously if you don't even have the drive to go on an actual date then this will prove wasteful for you until you can get back into it mentally.

Unfortunately, I'd say you have 5-8 years max to stay marketable to attract the upper tier women so you can't or shouldn't just sleep on it for a long time either.

Yes, experiencing it now and enjoying it. I feel more in control of my life. I know it will come back soon (these feelings never last for me). Making the most of it and enjoying it while I can.
 

"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.

For me it kind of comes and goes. There are times when I have a lot of interest, particularly if I'm out and see women that are my type, but then there are times where I see some behaviour or some bull**** going on that totally puts me off and makes me lose interest in women for a while.

With regard to any particular woman, I have surprised myself sometimes by how quickly I lost interest when I noticed that they had bad breath, dirty habits, aged a bit or gained some weight. Any kind of manipulation is also a huge turnoff for me to the point that I totally lose interest almost instantly.

enjoy it while it lasts. You're living life on your terms and enjoying peace. Wish my interest had waned at 40. Im sure at some point the urge will come back but just enjoy the serenity for now and don't worry about it.
 

"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.

40 to 50 is the power years. this is the time you can do anything. it's great to chill, but don't overdo that. if thirst does not drive you make a reason to get into a mixed group at least a few times a week. enjoy watching/interacting and be at peace as its all no big deal. you are now that guy that before was unbeatable, enjoy it.

What inspires you now?
Peace... if that even makes sense? I get texts from old hookups and cringe at the thought of even exerting any energy engaging them. I find inspiration in working out... reading... becoming more self sufficient and taking on different household projects I would have previously paid someone to do. There was no trigger for this it just seemed to happen.


Have you have your testosterone levels checked? It's ideal to rule out physiological causes first.
yeah... I started testosterone optimization last summer... last blood test I was at 1500... maybe having Supra physiological levels have driven me to this.

I'm pretty far away age wise, but in the best moments of my life, I see women as a spice. Not needed, but they help with the taste.
In the end, as long as you're happy with your life, women/career/others matter less.

Holy sh1t. Without adding test you got to 1500?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Women and dating can take up A LOT of valuable time.

Lately, maybe past 6-12 months (after being in a 9 yr LTR and then dating for about the past 4 years) I've realized it's largely just not worth it. I have a 40 year old HB7 and a 26 year old HB8 both very interested but when I think about all the planning, the actual date, maybe cleaning the house, adjusting my eating, workout, and dog running schedule--to just have a date for a few hours, even with sex, still doesn't interest me all that much.

I'd honestly rather do other things.

omg no... that’s with two shots a week! I would be a science experiment if I could raise it that high naturally
You probably can. Certain foods kill estrogen and others raise test. Bodyfat converts test to estrogen. Certain thoughts and situations raise test. Others lower test. Certain excercises raise test. Confident a man can exceed a 1000 with planning.
 

"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.
