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.

First Impressions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, I believe that making a good first impression puts you already half way to getting the girl. I believe, that according to your personality, the guys who are hitting on her will be slotting into different groups:


Nice Guys -

. Useful
. Possible LTR partner (Courtship, AHH!)
. Can raise my self esteem


Friendly Guys -


. Possible friendship
. Possible LTR partner


Good Men -

. Possible sexual relationships
. Possible LTR partner
. Possible any sort of relationship partner


Bad Boys -

. Possible sexual relationships


There is a difference between "nice guys" and "good men"...

These impressions that are created of you, are made in just the first few minutes upon meeting you. That's right, it doesn't take long for her to slot you into your place, and of course, you want to be slotted into one of the last two (if you are pursueing relationships)... In my opinion being a good man opposed to a bad boy stays. This way you can lead the relationship where it wants to go, if you meet someone truly amazing, then you still have the power to move it on.

The importance of what slot you are put into can be somewhat game ruining, especially if you have been macking on a girl you started off being a "nice guy" to, as other sorts of behaviour (e.g. C+F) will appear FAKE, and will creep her out. Many a times, it is best to start fresh if this happens, it is easier to start fresh than to repair things which have already gone wrong.


In case you haven't heard of M3, this is it:

Attraction -> Comfort/Rapport -> Seduction

In that order, according to Mystery this is the best way to go, and I have adapted the same mind-frame over time.

But to be slotted into a GOOD slot, puts you in control, you are seen as a possible partner for WHATEVER reasons, which means that you are free to lead things where you want them to go. As you keep your game face on, her opinion of you will rise further-more.

So try hard to get the edge and be slotted into a strong position at the very start, I have real horror stories of when I started using too much comfort in the very beginning stage of meeting a girl.

Hope you've found this helpful,

"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.

Why is too much rapport bad?
Does it kill the element of mystery, or something?

Hey Ed... It isn't so much rapport, but comfort, like being too friendly early on, as you can slip into the dreaded 'LJBF' zone... Let me re-phrase that part...
