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.

So I'm a giver. A trait I aquired from my mum.

To pretty much all my friends, I give things. The other day I bought an inexpensive Christian necklace for my friends sister. Day before I got another one of my friends a magazine he really wanted, but couldn't get locally.

Basically, I just enjoy giving people small gifts once in a while. Sometimes I go out to town, find a poor starving black kid (they're everywhere in this country) and just go and get him whatever he wants from the store.

But for the life of me, I can't get over getting my girlfriend something. I was at a theme park the other day, and they had a stall where they sold cool little coloured, and rare rocks. So instinclively I thought of buying a few and quickly chaining 'em together into a bracelet or something for my girlfriend. But couldn't stop thinking that I'm being AFC. And that gifts are bad.

Somehow, I know this ain't the way to think. But I just can't help myself. I've never seen anyong give a thumbs up to a gift for your girl. Sure, I defintately don't agree with using gifts as bribes to girls you don't have any... relations with. Cause a gift will never buy you attraction.

Any thoughts?
 

"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.

nothing wrong with it....just dont go overboard with it....what you did buying something at a theme park is pretty harmless (because it was spontaneous) and probably helped....as long as your not doing it all the time i think your ok

You can do it in a more curiousity way more than the reg afc way. For instance you make a bet with her for example...

You: "Lets so who can go around the go cart course the most, if you win you get a prize if I win...(something you want)"
her: ok (Girls love playing games, I once found a yugioh card on the floor and end up turning it into a game by putting it on a table between me and her and racing to see who gets it first)

This way she had to work for that gift, you didn't just give it to her.

Give gifts/compliments VERY sparingly and NOT all the time, if u feel u must ... check out the DJ Bible
 

"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.

And rightly so.

I have a little checklist that must be met before I reward birds with gifts, every other man here should have something similar.

#1 Does she suck it regularly (extra points for swallowing)
#2 Does she more often than not treat you like a King
#3 Does she cook and clean for you (even if you both live in seperate places a chick whos into will do the above now and then)

Only then after she meets the above requirements will I even remotely consider giving her a gift and thats not even to say I will. I should be MORE than enough of a gift for her anyway, which I am obviously.

Oookay. That's about the strangest thing I've heard on these boards, tits. *chuckles*

I like the bet idea, though. :p

Wow! You bought a bl0wjob. How novel.
 

"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.
