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.

The test was negative. She told me she was doing a test 2pm yesterday.

Ignored my message around 7pm last night and 9am this morning asking if she's done the test.

Got back today at 11am saying it's negative. Not got back to me because she got a new slow cooker and has been busy cooking.

What the actual ****.
Damn, the b!tch is openly mocking you. Seriously fvcked up but I have to ask: is there something about your own demeanour that makes her think she can fvck with you like that?
 

"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.

and is why I tell you guys to wrap your little dude up, if a woman tried that to me I would just say, then go after the loser you get preggo from, i'm sure its not mine.

but all in all, i'm for the covert way of doing things, if you are not sure you can't tell her the get a dna test, if its not your she will do everything in her power to blame you for it, and she will push for the law on you, if its your you kinda poisoned the well and then it will be a battle with her for everything. so play the dad for 9 months and then do a covert dna test with the child, hell even say you are afraid of the history of traded child and stolen kids so just to be sure the kid is from both, do a paternity test, since she is kinda tired already and don't need to get this done, you go as a way to give support. and see how she fight against it, the fiercely she does, more likely you will need for the covert, that is after the kid is born, so worse case you will need to tolerate the woman for 9 months.

and yes I always work on worse case scenario, and being sly is a nice way to keep you healthy

also for this case he sure dodge a bullet, understand guys the worse thing for a woman is you nuking her ego, so moving on fast, dating one of her friends, looking like you are happier now then with her, is all ways to make her feel bad, so for some reason she belives its her right for revenge and will **** you up with something, prego scares are the most used, since most guys are idiots and trust woman, other way is the std scare, and to prevent she looking like a slut she will blame you too, so the default answers from a text from a ex is ok or not answer at all, that will nuke her even more

She cruelly played with your emotions by leaving you in suspense about the pregnancy test results.

And as other posters alluded to, this might have been some kind of “test” or “dry run” because she’s seriously considering getting pregnant for real next time.

This is your final chance to eject.

And if he were to confront her about that, she would absolutely be taken aback and believe that she did no such thing. This is how utterly delusional women have become.

No man. She tends to get inside your head, you deeply connect fall in love and that what she uses against you.

She's always been with strong men (usually battle hardened soldiers) each one she has story about.

One was particularly abusive and evil.

The rest I think lost their minds on her. I think it's all she knows.

I know everyone thinks I wouldn't let a women do this too me. I'd never get let a women do this to me.

I never thought I'd be in this situation myself, but here I am .

Like I said she's highly intelligent and a master at what she does.
 

"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.

"Thank God! You'd make a horrible mother!"

Yeah I don't want to go down that path. Fighting with her,making her feel bad or one upping her, Isn't going to achieve or change anything.

Unfortunately her dark past (right from early childhood) has caused her to be this way.

I do pity her because I genuinely believe she wants a healthy relationship. She just isn't capable of it and I don't think that will ever change.

It's sad.

Unlimitely all I can do is walk away and not look back.

A decent, rational person would have done the tests before dragging others in and causing unnecessary stress/anxiety for others unnecessarily.

Yeah my first gf did that. She was late once, so she tested without even telling me. (The results were negative.) Subsequently, she said “I wanted to find out for sure first rather than worry you.”

I thought that was very considerate of her. She earned big points from that.

It was definitely fake. Either she wasn’t late at all or she was a few days late and that’s where she got the idea as a way to mess with you. This happened to me and I think it’s a tactic used by Cluster B after they dump you when you don’t beg and it looks like you’re moving on. They need something big to reach back out with to soothe their own rejection anxiety and guilt and to test if you really care. This will happen more and more until you’re worn down. If you hold on to any of your self respect you will stop playing along with the push/pull. She’ll leave again and then when you let her go it just proves that you never loved them - even though it’s their own behavior that made it happen.

Abandonment Reenactment.

@CaptFinnBad if you wanna chat about these dangerous women PM me. I’ve been going through it and researching a lot over the last year and a half.
 

"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.
