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.

hi guys just wondering what are the fine lines between being dominant and demanding in a relationship. please advice
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Dominating a female is showing her through your actions (and subconsciously) that she'd better give you what you want, and you're not afraid to walk away.

It's what they want.

Demanding means trying to get something out of a forceful coercion.

Dominant means that your frame and presence are more powerful than others.

INSIDE YOUR HEAD!
The male is naturally dominant, so it, his dominance, doesn't need to flaunted - overused, used unnecessarily. If his dominance is flaunted, then he is considered "demanding'. So when men make demands, then it is a natural occurrence, because he is following his natural dictates. Women are not dominant, so when they make demands upon the male, it does not coincide with their submissive nature, so then she is out of place! This is why demanding women bosses or demanding women, in general, are called "*****es", or another derogatory term - whereas the male is seen as following his natural design, and thus respected, when he adheres to his dominant/demanding nature!
 

"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.

A girl is saying that I am demanding because I keep asking her to sing for me. She's been taking singing lessons for years.

I am asking her because I am interested in what she's been learning over the years and I want to take interest in her hobbies.

Do you think I am being out of line here?

Lol, no your not out of line. Your just curious. Though don't become annoying with the request, if she doesn't want to then drop it.

Both of those things are good, there is no line.

A dominant man will demand that she does things for him. Favours and such, she will get used to being used by you and will cherish you as her man.

Unless your idea of demanding is 'dont talk to other guys', thats just plain homo.

Demand favours yes, demand a change in behaviour NO.
