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.

Could you handle having a trophy girlfriend/wife?

I was shopping at a mall with a FB, and we joked around if we would run into any women who would pass what I call "the paper bag test" - I would not need to cover her face with a paper bag while doing her. An hour of shopping ensued, not a single one! Even apparel stores were filled only with HB4's and 5's at most. Where do you find all the 9's and 10's? For every 10 there are 1,000 5's.
 

"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.

When I think of a trophy wife/gf, I don't think of anything other than pure physical looks. If I won the lottery or something and I had women wanting me for my money, I would just pick the best looking ones, preferrably barely legal because they look the best and those are the ones I lust after the most. And to me half the point of having a gf/wife would be to be seen with her, people thinking I'm cool because I have such a hot looking woman, guys being envious of me. Even though I'm (in my own opinion even) very unattractive and with no experience with women at 35, it just wouldn't be any fun to have a gf who wasn't at least a HB7 because I want to be seen with her and look cool.

Well, if you won the lottery and the 9's and 10's who were barely legal were using you for money and you know that then it's great! you use them for their looks and they use you for your money. A match made in heaven I say.

As for all the hb 9's and 10's. Perhaps I'm much more picky in my ratings. But living in LA I see actresses and models all the time and i rarely see a 10. The highest I dated was a 9 and she was conceited as hell. I've seen Heidi Klum,Rachel Bilson,Gisele Buchen and load of other people in person and I wouldn't give any of them higher than a 7 or 8.

Victoria Secret is on Rodeo drive and I've been there with girlfriends often and rarely see anything above an 8 in there.

Well,some guys must be living in a part of the country where all hot 9's and 10's congregate. Parts of Vegas or Miami I suspect?
 

"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.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
I dated an HB9 for 8 years... it was cool until she got her RN nursing degree then she decided she was too good for me...LOL She left me for the rich Jewish son of 2 doctors who was in medschool himself... I guess she moved up... He dumped her a year and a half later cause his mom didnt want him dating a black girl for too long, lest she get pregnant and gain access to the families wealth......

You can have more issues dating a 5 than a 10, IMO. Everyone's different.

A 5 that has a lot to prove is going to welcome attention from other guys. A 10 that is used to it will often seek to avoid it.

No matter if you have a 5 or a 10, your girl will get hit on CONSTANTLY. 99% of the time, it will be by AFC d-bags. The main difference is that the guys hitting on your 10 will be older and richer, with higher status. Still, if your girl is into you and loves and respects you, there won't be any issues.

I don't see any reason to avoid 9's and 10's under the assumption that they're all high maintenance b!tches. I DO see a reason to avoid LSE and high drama girls, whether they're a 10 or a 5.
