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.

Long story short I was gaming this girl through text when this came up-

Me: Damn, ice skating, dancing, gymnastics, anything you cant do? 0_0

Her: Fly. And ride a bike...

Me: Well thats a deal breaker. Sorry, I only date girls who fly and/or ride bikes. :p

Her: Who said I wanted to date you?

Me: Oh please what girl doesnt want to date me?
aha Im just kidding

Her: haha

Do you think I may have overplayed my part? Was there a better way for me to handle this situation?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

plus whats with all the emoticons? that sh!t is whack if overused, makes u seem to invested..

in general text game is hit or miss,

hit: if she already has high interest level

miss: if she doesnt have high IL - in fact if she doesnt have high IL text game might make her less interested..

only game her in person if you want to have any chance of raising her interest level - in person game is far more powerful

You screwed up, move on. Right when you drop the "date" line you lost her, you probably shocked her or freaked her out. Never mention crap like that to women until they bring it up first. Telling some girl you just started gaming that you want to date her comes off as desperate.

Chill with the emoticons too.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Me: common sense
that's what I'd have said.

"logic" or "you did" followed by "in your mind" might also work

what you said was fine too except for the whole "i'm just kidding" part

Like others have said....no emoticons, you're a man not a b!tch.

and the "oh please, what girl doesn't want to date me?" was fine, but you definitely killed it with the "aha just kidding"

In general, make it a rule to not say "haha" or "aha" or "lol" or "lmao" or anything like that. And don't say "just kidding". That makes it seem like you're apologizing for something...


Don't game girls through text. Texting should be primarily for logistics only. Setting up dates, confirming, etc.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Ask anybody who's been in the game for awhile. You never show your cards to a woman, especially when it's as new as this scenario. If a girl came up to you and 5 minutes into your conversation was talking about becoming your girlfriend, would you be fine with that?

You come off as desperate and easy if you're talking about dating someone you don't even really know yet. I would think "What is wrong with her she doesn't know anything about me yet but she wants to be my girlfriend?" It's desperate, sorry you can't see that.

It depends on the frame. It doesn't have to be real.
