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.

did your dads ever give you good advice on girls?

I'm a bit on the short side about 5'8. My dad's advice for me about girls.
" Fvck tall girls so you won't have short babies"
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

that's odd because your dad is atleast part of the reason that you are on the short side

Nope, none. Which was probably good for me, because it made me feel that they aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
 

"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.

Heh,..I'm 38 and my father is 68 with Alzheimer's - I'm still waiting to have that 'talk'.

Seriously, my Dad was a terminal AFC who still, in his old age, subscribes body & soul to the Savior Mentality which he's clung to his whole life. I have to give him credit though; he was soley responsible for showing me exactly what not to do to be a Positvely Masculine Man. Once I had been psychologically trampled by women enough times to realize it was this AFC mentality that I had learned by default from him, he (and men like him) became my models for what NOT to do. It was because of him and almost all of my AFC friends who'd been hammered flat by women their whole, destroyed, lives, that I started to see the patterns in the Matrix and began picking it apart.

Yeah True The shortness comes from his side of the family too, But he happened to have escaped that curse so I guess he thinks he isn't responsible. Doesn't really matter to me. I'm perfectly happy with my height. I don't know why people make looks such a big deal. Hasn't held me back from living life.

Somehow I wound up an AFC. My dad gave me great advice that I didn't realize was gold until I found this place. Before my mom, he would approach women and start talking to them. He told me that within a few minutes he could tell whether the women were interested enough and if he should continue. If not, he said he would simply move on the next and start talking.

He also had a "3 date rule" in which he would move on to the next girl after 3 dates. I hate to say it, but he was a badass. He had a date at like a drive in burger joint, like Sonic, and his date ran into another guy she knew and spent the whole time talking to him, so my dad told her to let him drive her home. He made her get out of his car and he left her there. LOL
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

When my Dad dropped me off at college my girlfriend and mother were with me. There was only about a two minute window when neither my mom or my conniving bytch of a g/f were not around. He said,
"Son, blondes are more fun. Brunettes are nothing but trouble. If you f_ck average looking girls you'll get a lot more *****."
I'd never heard him say anything like that before in my life. Too bad I was 'in love' the first six months of college.

Most dads don't have advice to give their sons...He probably didn't know what he was doing when he met his wife. Just following his little head.

My dad asked me once..."How come you don't have a girlfriend son?"

I just replied "I dunno.."

It's sad really...Parents are supposed to teach their kids whatever they can.

Glad I felt a need to change, and found this site.

Aw hell no I never got any help from my dad. Which is probably just as well, 'cause I think he's always been pretty hopeless with women. I don't think he had a girlfriend 'till he was 23 or something like that.

So no advice, no.

But at the same time, he's one of the smartest motherfvckers I've ever met, worked hard and got a scholarship to university cause his parents couldn't afford it and genuinely follows his passions.

And there's more to life than getting your end off in every girl you meet.

Some good advice would have helped though :rolleyes:
 

"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.
