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.

So a couple nights ago at the club, my friend hooked me up with this really fine Filipina girl he just picked up. He danced with her friend. We danced for about 3 songs, and we even talked for a bit amidst all the noise. I can tell I got her a bit interested in me because of the cologne. Props to whoever gave the tip of putting cologne behind your ears when you go clubbing. Afterwards, her other friend led her out of the floor because she was done. So I was like "okay I'll just find someone else" since I really didn't want to chase them, and I would have seen them again anyways since the club wasn't really packing. Then my friend was like "No no no dude! I really wanna get laid tonight man you see those girls? They're so fine let's go man," or something along those lines. It planted a bad seed in my head. I started thinking yeah, I could get laid if I chase them. I'll just pull off some techniques and she'll be all over my dlck.

We followed them. We sat down, me beside the girl I was dancing with, my friend with the other girl. We didn't even get to talk to them. They didn't even look at us. We looked so stupid but I was still hoping there'd be an opportunity for me to pull off some techniques. They left after three minutes of them talking, they didn't even tell us they were going to leave. Me and my friend ended up chasing them around the club, and finally waited for them at the bathroom. They said they'll be back. We waited for them for two minutes.

That's when I finally came back to my senses. It started off with one stupid thought of wanting to get laid, and the next thing I know I'm chasing them around the damn club. I wanted to bang my head against the floor so bad and get danced on. I went back to the floor looking for other girls to dance with. Then I started thinking of how I might have been laid if I didn't chase them and acted how I usually am, though I was taught to not regret missed opportunities with women...next thing I know I'm going in a downward spiral of confusion and conflict. I let one action lead into a disaster.

So when it comes to women, don't listen to your friends, unless they do know how to attract women. You really do know better. Lately, girls have been calling me a lot when I'm around my guy friends. I don't let the presence of my friends affect the way the conversation flows, though it starts taking its toll when they start telling each other "Man he's never going to get a girl", or "What the fvck who says that to a girl?", or "Haha way to make an impression." or some other stupid comments. It gets worse when they try to lecture or teach you the improper way of talking to women after hanging up. Even though you do know better, it's hard to keep your composure because no matter what, they're planting small seeds in your head and it will eventually grow, especially if they keep watering it.

I performed this technique I read in a book a long time ago a day later that night. I didn't use it before because I thought I wouldn't need it. It was a memory retrieval thing to keep fading memories from well, fading. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Clenching your first

Just simply clench your fist as hard as you can for 5 seconds, and then release. Clench it again after 5 seconds, and simply repeat. You'll be doing this for the entire exercise.

Step 2: Remembering a memory

In your head, picture yourself as a true Don Juan. You're the owner of a night club, all the exotic dancers are all over you...etc. You can imagine anything you possibly want, just as long as in your image you're a top of the line Don Juan. Make this vision as vivid as possible, as real as possible. Remember, you're still performing step 1 while you're doing this.

Step 3: Attaching words

When you've got that vision down, repeat to yourself "I'm the alpha male", "All the women want me", "They'll do anything for me" etc. You can use your own variations, this is just what I used. Remember, you're still clenching your fist and releasing like in step 1.

Simply stay in this state for about 10 minutes or longer. Keep on imagining yourself as a Don Juan, keep telling yourself you're an alpha male, and don't forget step 1. Stop at your own will.

The reason why you're clenching your fist is that you're registering all those memories of you thinking you're a Don Juan with "clenching your fist". All memories are attached to another memory. Like when I see a cigar, I immediately think Scarface, or old British men in a large room wearing red robes smoking in front of a newspaper with a fireplace burning in the background. Or chopsticks with Chinese people. Or swords with the medievil times. Tanks with wars, etc. Since clenching your fist is an easily accessible and common action, you'll be constantly reminded you're a Don Juan.

This way, you'll easily get rid of those seeds your afc friends are trying to plague you with.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
There IS an important lesson here...move about the club at your OWN pace. I've lost track of the number of times I've been sucked in by "Hey, we're going across the street to xxxx...come with us." or some other such nonsense out of the idea that I was gonna get laid and ended up chasing a woman around a bar or club looking like a goof.

If she's not in "sexual state" with you, as the PUAs call it, you gain NOTHING by following her around. It's a bad move. Enter the club when YOU decide to, leave when YOU decide to, move about the club at YOUR pace, not someone else's. If she's not following YOU around, SHE is missing out.
 

"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.

These aren't friends, these are people you go out with sometimes and from the looks of it, are unsupportive and crap company. Ditch them and fly solo if you must, least then you have full control and relaxation over what happens.
