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.

Hey I just followed this cute girl on insta, I have never met her in person, and we don’t know anything about each other. So if anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it.

First, should I wait a little bit, or it actually does not matter that I just followed here and she followed me back an hour ago, is that too forward to send a message now?

Second, and most important, how should I approach the opening message, what are some phrases you guys would send that can be a good idea

thanks I appreciate your help!
 

"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.

In order to do Instagram game well, you need more Followers than accounts you are Following. This will ensure a better response rate to your DMs. You also want a decent quantity of Followers. While 50 Followers and 30 Following is a good ratio (more Followers than Following), it would be considered too low quantity to impress most women.

It's a good idea to start a conversation based on one of her Instagram stories or something in one of her posts.

Thanks, the thing she only has one story of her, the other ones are with friends? In that one she is in gym shorts showing her big ass, wha would you suggest?

You could ask about how she met her friends or what she was doing with her friends in those stories. She has given you something to work with there.

Gym shorts with a big butt could lead to questions about fitness routines.

If you're really good looking (6'0"+, big muscles, good facial aesthetics), you could go more directly sexual about her big, shapely butt and what you would do with that and better than most other men. I would not recommend this approach unless you are a very desirable man yourself.

pretty confident about my looks thanks man. Would you wait some days or it actually doesn’t matter that I text her right after following each other back ( remember that we have never met)
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is all behind an electronic screen. It's not real. Back in the pre-app, dating website era, the common advice was to wait and slow responses online to make it look like you had a real life and weren't some online dweeb. Smartphones, apps, and social media made that advice outdated. You can message her now if you want.

Bruh why are you invested in this at all?

This is a random chick that you followed on Instagram that followed you back.

I will give you $100 if you end up meeting her in person from this. That's how confident I am that this is a nothing burger.

It's like tinder but only one of you swiped right.

Most stuff that starts behind an electronic screen is a nothing burger. That's why there's still a place for real world approaching.

Yeah but at least with dating apps there's a mutual attraction before messaging takes place.

This dude literally just found a hot girl, followed her, and is freaking out because she followed back. THAT is the single IOI he's fixated on.

Women are not like a computer; there is not a pattern where, when and what to text to increase your chances of getting laid. Either she is attracted to you or it is game over. To be fair, as men, we get rejected more often than not. Nonetheless, if you have a harem the game does get easier from time to time.

You must likely need to read “attraction cannot be negotiated”
 

"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.
