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.

Flirting tips

Guys,

A simple, but decent summary I found on the web. If you like to follow a point for point format, this will help. I wonder if it's too basic though, but what I like about it is that it doesn't get too analytical about how and who you should be and what you should be thinking, just makes you think: "Just do it. Is it that straightforward? I can do that".
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"6. Ooze with interest
Act as if he or she were the most important person in your world and nothing else matters at the moment. Ooze with the allure of your undivided attention, fascination, and interest in just them. "There is nothing sexier or more complimentary than someone who flirts entranced with me and thinks I hung the moon." "

I cant say that I agree with that part. Acting like you "think the girl hung the moon" is probably not the best approach unless your goal is to either A) freak her out or B) let her know she can walk all over you.

Just my $0.02

Being interested in things about her is good.

Just find the balance.


Anyway, I think they're just talking about flirting there.

It's true -- I flirted with a girl for months in my AFC days. It was just something that she did just for ****s and giggles. Like "just in case you wanted to leave me a love note" -- the context was that she was changing emails etc.

And I never did send her anything construable as a love note either, so even to this day I had no idea what she was babbling about.

Ah, to be AFC again
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Are you kidding? Flirting is a basic skill that's necessary for pulling chicks.

I agree with the article except for point 6, which seems to advocate putting the woman on a pedestal.

I agree. Without flirting, you're going to find it very difficult showing or even raising interest.

As for the tips. I agree with all except point 6 too.
