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.

They could be picking up on that, but seriously, sometimes i think that theres too many so ...yea

Maybe i gotta fake the funk, play the game, or whatever
 

"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.

I dont get it.. yes, there is plenty of women out there. If you just want casual sex - follow the path of the player/PUA. If you want a girl for YOU, you gotta root out the ones who arent suited. So, yea. Play the game!

you mean to say you have an attitude of not caring that much when you talk to them? bc you know there are so many.

yeah it could hurt ur game. i know some girls want to feel special.
but then again if you have this mentality, it's hard to pretend to care a lot.

Precisely....like they know or sense that i have one foot out the door.
 

"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.

According to some psychological research (which I am not going to find the reference to because I am too lazy) we are attracted to those who are attracted to us. Selectively of course like you would choose them over another. That being said people who suffer from anxiety disorders will run for the hills if they feel that you are putting too much pressure on the relationship. Best thing to do is not care in the sense of if you don't get sex with this girl it is cool because there are plenty of others. You don't want to be a needy little b**** right??? And people get confused with all the information on the web about being the jerk vs. nice guy and blah blah blah. Or like what one of these sosuave news letters said, be yourself but your best self. Basically what I am trying to say is that You want to come off as being interested but not too interested, get what I am saying?? It is good if you can read people and get them to tell you about themself and actually listen rather than just being cynical and assume that she is ****ing you around.

No, it's attractive to women when you have options. Biologically, its because women are lazy and assume that if one women likes you that you have good genes. So if you're not too fussed on her and can leave, she assumes you have options, thus becomes more attracted. Now some girls may be self aware and rationalise things but most girls don't have the sort of introspection.

That may be true....but girls used to chase me...

I guess now with tinder and instagram...they can get their fix without chasing

So i started to change my game. Ive been more slow in my game. I guess more trust building.

Like they have feelings too...which is weird cuz im anti feelings, but its their fantasy so whatevs.

I feel more connected....yuck...but its ok, cuz this one has a decent body and green eyes i like.

And i started running 3 miles a day...that helps to stay calm through the b.s. too.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Women like men who have options. However, they still need to feel that you are interested in them and that they have a chance with you. If they treat them like they mean nothing to you, they will assume you're not interested.
