"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.

Do you find women predictable?

How many of you can honestly say that they understand women?

What I mean is do you find them to be predictable?

I know that popular culture promotes the idea that women can't be understood but I don't agree.
 

"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.

I'm with you man, once you start looking at the right place, you see patterns emerging in all their actions. And to tell you the truth, they're even more predictable than men, cuz they've never been forced to "try something different".

Oh, they're unpredictable all right... predictably so.

But to be fair, they say the same thing about us. I can't even remember how many times I've heard (either directly from or from another source) where a girl has not known what the heck is going on in MY head, too.

Sadly yes...

I can read through them more easily as of late, and it makes things less exciting.

Girls can be understood. I think once you understand psychology, it's a lot easier to decipher all the crap.

Predictable yes, understandable, not at all. If that makes sense.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't know if what realsmoothie said is something to be proud of, but obviously predictability is a major relationship killer.

That is because...

Life is a journey - climbing new obstacles to reach new heights. Once an obstacle has been conquered, it's time to look for the next obstacle. The process never ends. Predictability is a sure sign that the challenge may be over. Time to look for the next challenge to greater heights.

Spontaneity is one of the most important aspects involved in keeping a relationship.

Partnering in to fight through life together is OK, but the problem is that maintaining the correct and natural balance (man dominates, woman submits) in our western media infiltrated society is a constant battle. I think the end of a great many LTRs is just that the man eventually loses the fight or decides it's not worth the effort and moves on.

Finding a woman who understands that she is wired to complement and not compete with a man is a huge prize. If she also can see that societal pressure needs to be constantly fought against all the better. Western girls have mostly been ruined by puberty though.

I find human behaviour predictable, in general, men and women. Of course there are a few that cant be predicted and do unexpected things. Im one of those people.

Also, cats, and dogs are predictable, unless they are crazy.


Their behaviour is predictable in context that if you know what they are doing now, you can predict what they will be doing later. So you gotta get a read on them, and have knowledge of psychology to know what could possibly come next. Police are able to read body language. Sales persons are able to read you over the phone.

Well, i think we all find attraction behaviors predictable after spending some time at this site. I mean, that is like one of the major things here, finding IOI's and acting on them.

I knew you would say that.
 

"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.

I will never say I completely understand anything. I think it's more down-to-earth to say that I understand them more than most men around me (thanks to this forum!), but I still learn new things every day.

Mostly yes.

I do not agree either!
