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.

Since year is ending soon, let's summarize our plates/hook ups from this year.

Personally, this was the most fruitful year of my life, meeting vast variety of women, with whom I slept with some and with some didnt. The total number of woman I went out this year is around 20,which of I've slept with half of those. Every hookup lasted from two weeks to one month, not longer.

I'd say most successful period was around summer time as expected: weather is better and ofcourse more women are out in town.

Towards the end of the year I had some dry spell, which lasted for about a month and a half as I broke it off two weeks ago.
Feel free to input your experience and analysis of the year.

Cheers!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'd say 50/50. Online is resulting more rejections than RL in my experience. I didn't use tinder only instagram, texting girls from my town etc.

Towards the end of the year I used only online since due to covid there are not much places to meet women, where in summer I was out on field so to say.

Year started off strong but covid messed it up. Social scene flamed out other than a few women I wasn't interested in. NYE hooked up with a chick that later cucked me at the club at 2am NYD, threesome in Vegas in Feb from a night game cold approach, hot/cold from upset woman who was also at NYE, got hot/cold by NYE chick in May, I played hot/cold with chick June-August...felt she was too attached so not worth it bc knew I wasnt interested in anything serious, tried to set up visit from 2 women in Sept-Nov but 2nd lockdown interfered, drunkenly hooked up with and then strung along by AW August - Nov, two thicc big booty chicks down for 3-person NYE 2020-2021. 2 bs zoom dates from old: one ghosted me, one I ghosted.
That's good. So are you going to celebrate NYE with those thick girls? That would be awesome way to end the year and also to start a new one.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I've been loving the cougars this year. Post-menopause is my niche.

Started spinning @christie, @BeExcellent, and @sazc.

Met @christie at bingo, @BeExcellent at the embroidery club, and @sazc just happens to be my aunt's best friend.

Y'all can shame me but that's 150 years of wisdom I've acquired in twelve months. Y'all jealous.

The only thing I regret is that my aunt don't talk to me no more.

Entered 2020 on no-fap (OCT 2019-MARCH 2020 no porn, masturbation, or orgasm).

Mid March I re-embraced the DJ mindset and started chasing skirt again, and COVID didn't seem to hinder my ability to meet them.

Banged only a handful this year but I'm not disappointed at all.

Feel supremely comfortable around women.
Can I ask why did you cut fapp, porn?
 

"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.

thank you.
i just 'used game' at work today.

Its not even acting or being dishonest. Its more like having an advantage when you know yourself better and other's psychologies better.

Alot of 'game' is timing and reading the room/situation.

Its worth it approaching every interaction with a dgaf(alpha) attitude.
But still humble and quietly confident.

You can just sit back and watch people 'play' each other. And still get the results you know are best.

Its amazing how my improved selfpreservatiion, my perspective and my detaching from the outcome has helped me at work, specifically.

I'm content and dare I say, happy, with my improvements this year.

Exactly, just being yourself without playing something what you aren't is the key. When you don't give a fvck you will be always ahead of everything.

I think of all you brothers when I'm trying to solve a problem at work. All your different personalities help me. The one thing I keep falling back on is dgaf.
It is the perfect approach and frame and seems to surprise some men who were hoping you had a more feminine(submissive) frame at work.
Not at work.
These covid times have really sharpened my professional skills.

I excel in chaotic times. I excel under unusual pressure and stress.
I remember skipping math in a college technical program so I could go get extra welding time in the shop with all the other trades classes.
To get the program certificate I still had to pass the main math tests which represented all your math class' mark.
It was 6 math tests, back to back, in one afternoon that I challenged myself to do.
I got A's on all tests and passed the program and was actually a half decent welder at graduation with all the extra practice I put in. I excel under pressure!

When I joined the welding association, that teacher put in an outstanding reference for me at the same table a future boss was sitting at. I was rewarded with that job.

The idgaf thing is crucial. It's the thing where you do what you feel like always. Ofcourse it's easier said than done but with doing work you can achieve it.
Also idgaf and being c0cky don't mean a guy is an azzhole, it's just you loving being you.
 

"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.

It was an awesome year for me too.

- I used the downtime at home to perfect my stock market skills enough to where I will be able to reduce the hours I have to work in the near future.

- Got back on speaking terms with one of my sisters.

-Been seeing results from new workout routine I implemented after changing gyms

- Got a new professional certification

- Dating someone decent. Someone who I am very happy with so far.

- Downsized the amount of crap I have by a lot

- Bought a camper after wanting one for my whole adult life

No complaints other than the way the world is headed outside of my world
 

"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.
