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.

"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 heard some stories. Of course, it is one of the most difficult places in the world to socialize with women. Yes, the pay might be great, but you will be the most incelibate version of yourself there.

He might have some interest in converting to Islam and getting a wife.

Man I wish Christianity has Islam's culture sometime, I mean I'm fine with my Christian beliefs.

But the Islamic culture is just fantastic to me, it's patriarchal, you're allowed to have 4 wives and you have arrange marriages where you get all the BS stuff about dating and courtship out of the way and just focus on finding a quality wife.

If only Christianity had Islam's culture here in America, we'd be a powerhouse again.

That's interesting. If guys have 4 wives, does that mean women outnumber men 4 to 1. Or does it mean 3 out of 4 guys have no women.

Hi Eli,
As MDJ says "...You will be the most incelibate version of yourself over there".....Yeah all that and the soberest!
 

"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.

I met an older black gentleman who wanted to mentor me when I first got out of college. He lived in Saudi Arabia full time as an engineer. He only came back stateside to care for his dying mother. He loved it in SA. He said the pay was 3Xs what he made here in the USA. He “converted” to Islam and said the biggest thing there was religion; as long as you were a practicing Muslim man everything was dope as hell.

I declined his offer to mentor me. At the time I was suspicious of a guy that had two families. He had an Islamic wife and children in SA, and a Christian family in the USA (with grown children) from before he moved to SA. I found the whole thing sketchy.

Great place to go to if you literally can't stand the sight of women.

He was also probably a closeted homosexual, like many men in Saudi Arabia, which may explain why he was so keen to "mentor" you. While islam treats homosexuality as a mortal sin, that only applies to open homosexuality. If you keep it on the DL and do it behind close doors with your cousin, the neighbor's kid, etc., it is accepted and tolerated.

I'm supposed to go there, just haven't had the time.

I have a friend working there and some of my team members travel back and forth to saudi.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

So if Jimmy Saville had left Britian, and pitched both his literal and figurative tent in Riyadh rather than London, he'd likely be a venerated figure today

I'd be curious to see if anyone got any interesting results in saudi arabia or any middle eastern country for that matter... I heard something about how women in the middle east prefer anal cuz they can still claim virginity when they get married...:D
 

"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.
