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.

A lot of the time it is just leanmaxxing, not genetics.

Going out drinking every night like you're doing, has I'm sure covered your features with several lbs of excess fat just in your face.

I think you need to MonkModemaxx for a few weeks.

(6'2" here, 31" waist, just been repping weighted pull ups +55lbs.)
lol at the assumptions.

Last 4 months I’ve been celibate dude ..just back on the prowl 3 weeks ago :D
But yeah I’m feeling the nights out already for sure .that is correct re the boozing effects.
Not much tho …… yet !

"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.

I’ve seen an example of such a type ‘Chudfishing the Doomers’ the video was called.
some dude living in his parents garage

Hard to believe but I’ll check it out.
But flex - these examples are the exception dude.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

fair point

as an example, Brad Pitt at 1.8. m was 70kg in fight club. And that is really good form for a guy. Maybe add a couple more kgs of muscle you can not be more than 75kg at that height, and that only if you are super muscular

Being super lean is very important for improving your attractiveness

even girls, if she is 1.70 her ideal weight is somewhere between 50 and 58 kgs. Over 60 kg she starts being a bit fat and over 65kg she is fat

unless she is an athlete and has big muscles, but in the vast majority of cases that is not the case

you can go bigger, like Christian bale in American psycho or Batman begins, but that guy was full of muscles and never weighted more than 85kgs at 1.83. But you have to have a really healthy and train all the time
To keep that physique

but as an idea if you are for example 1.80 m and have more than 70kg, unless you are muscular, it means that you are going more and more on being fat

The vary vast majority of people we find hot, are also skinny / very in shape

Rarely we see people who are a bit overweight or overweight to be considered hot

maybe a guy going for the lumberjack style, bulky and a bit chubby but in shape. But I doubt this is something that will be appreciated on a big scale. Maybe in more rural / small cities type of settings
that’s a very good analysis , well done. :up:
but for me manc, if I were to get leaner would it show in clothes ? And would I lose shoulders a bit ?
Not excuses . I’m currently swimming a lot to get fitter , more energy more toned and flexibility etc etc

I’d have to buy a whole new wardrobe also if leaner ..but that’d be good thing actually :lol:

Inside her mind
.

All of this dating app talk from guys who are afraid to step out and approach women in real life. :lol:
We have our differences on some things, but I will always agree with you that approaching in real life is far superior to online datng

Online dating always felt like eating fast food to me it may taste good at the time, but then you get the bubble guts after. Meeting women in person while it's not always filet mignon, the women tasted better and left me satisfied

I know it's not my best analogy, but you get the point

You'd lose "size" but gain definition and vascularity.

You don't want your "size" just to be bodyfat, that's pointless.

It's mainly about your diet... nothing tastes as good as having a knuckle to shoulder permanently visible vein or two...

...and don't ever use the word "toned" !!

I was in a club last night and approached about 10 women. All mid. all the most decent looking chicks were already paired up with dudes in the place. :(:cry:

before that I’d had an app date at 8pm.
And another app date at 11pm at that club.
both women were subpar catfishers also so waste of time both. Meh.

Cold approaching don’t always work out either…
Bruh, it's a numbers game either way.

These women, even the mid ones, have hundreds of dudes DM'ing them daily.

But they will go to the grocery store and won't get approached once.

With cold approach, you'll be that one dude who does.

You're astonished that most attractive women in a club are already spoken for ? The planet is filled with an infinite variety of venues at which to not only approach, but link up with intriguing people more generally
 

"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.

I never said I was ‘astonished’?
was just bad luck. What exactly does your 2nd point mean. Such as … where ?
The masses tend to go out socialising to bars and clubs on a Saturday night, if you’ve noticed.

I've found grocery stores(especially high endish ones like Whole Foods)and booksellers to be terrific forums, since my late teens-the present

Blindly imitating "the masses"(Same crowd of boneheads who've kept Teen Mom and Star Wars going, clamor for even MORE of that brainrot)'s every move is MORE ill-advised than going for a swim in The Everglades while equipped with a freshly severed arm, on a day where the gators are unusually famished

yes Venom
BUT there is the obvious issue that

-The women all dressed up in the bars and nightclubs are there to possibly get picked up and laid.

-The women in the groceries store are there to buy their groceries.

If she found you attractive at a nightclub, she'll find you attractive at a grocery store.

If you find her attractive on a dating app, you'll find her attractive at a grocery store or nightclub.

If you found her attractive at a grocery store, you'll find her attractive at a nightclub or dating app.

The venue doesn't matter...and the confidence in the man should follow him wherever he goes.

Most of my lays began from me cold approaching women at grocery stores...women of whom were there to buy their groceries.

Claiming "I USED to be an anime and Manga nerd", then following that up by informing readers that you're still "intellectual" and "a nerd heart" who "fears heights" has not just the ladies, but EVERYONE who reads those words envisioning a bloke like THIS

Is OVER for HexopticCels.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
