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.

Scenario 1:

1. Burned by girl, revelation
2. Learn stuff, get laid
3. Get laid more
4. Start a blog
5. Get weirdly political
6. Use smug ego for lulz and $$$

Scenario 2:

1. AFC
2. Anger
3. Get laid some, but not the quality/quantity you'd like
4. Blame society and women
5. Take on extremist views
6. Flame all other philosophies and never advance as a man

Scenario 3:

1. Decent with women, but not a natural
2. Learn a lot, develop whole self
3. Get laid as a result
4. Teach other bros
5. Self acceptance
6. Choose awesome woman, move on with your life

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Scenario 2 is the most common. We need to change that and make Scenario 3 the most common.

Good insight. Although recently on this forum, scenario 3 would get you labeled as a beta you-know-what. I have to say the atmosphere on this forum has improved 1000% since the clean up.

What do I care what these two random women want? They're not MY wives. I only know what I want and like, and am going to choose women accordingly.
Right, it's always better to choose what you want, than to pick someone and then try to change them into what you want. That rarely works, IMO.

I'm probably a mixture of 1 & 3 but very interesting. I see alot of guys turning to write blogs and a whole lot of number 2 guys on here that ignore ignore and ignore self improvement methods and blame the girls, society and themselves.

Interesting thread.

You don't see a lot of #3 because when they start fixing their problems, you see them around less.

Pook is in Nirvana, not b!tching online like #1 and #2. Same with dbot and a couple others, including ones that used to frequent this site but now married and left it. SoSuave is like a hospital of sorts, only sick people frequent this place, or those who were once sick and want to help others find "the cure". So really I'm not surprised if it seems we have a lot of #1 and #2.
