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.

Good looking, very buff young middle eastern dude

All my other good looking friends are all taken now so the only guys I can approach with are ugly/old/chubby and trying to carry the conversation by myself with 2 girls is brutal

See how well it goes this week
 

"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.

Interesting. Most of my average and even slightly above average looking friends are usually blown out immediately. Shrug

I don't know who they are but there are a group of 4 or 5 guys who are regulars at this once place I go to, and they've gotten blown out so often they just dance by themselves now. They don't even try anymore. Learned helplessness I suppose. They're not grotesque or anything. Just normal-ish guys in their 20's. Yet women treat them mostly like pariahs.

the bar/club scene is an excruciatingly high difficulty curve

the only guys I see approach women and be successful instantly tend to be very good looking/very tall/buff/etc...

if you're not at least a 7/10, not even worth going out IMO unless you're going to pursue 5/10 women (and who the hell wants that?)

Nonsense. You’re either aiming too high or you suck at conversing. While girls go to clubs typically to dance, Girls go to bars to meet guys. You just gotta be friendly.
