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.

if i flirt and talk to girls 99% of the time in person and I only text to set up a meet am i on the right track? my "text game" sucks but i'm great at flirting in person. all the flirting i use, from explicit sexual flirting, to negs, to subtle flirty comments seems to get girls to respond positively but im not sure if my techniques will work in college. am i on the right track for getting girls in college or do i need to really improve my text game first? btw im a junior in h.s. also im just worried that with my texting game being so bad if i text a girl for anything other than setting up a meet i will get friendzoned. please give me some advice. also im really confident and can easily get a girls number so self confidence is not an issue.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I don't think you should worry about texting game. Honestly, I never text women (or anyone for that matter) without a specific purpose, such as to set up a time to hang out or anything else logistics-related.

text game is even easier than regular game because you have unlimited time to think about everything you say and do before you say/do it, its also far, far, less worthwhile and effective, but still.

unless they're somehow high school specific, or specifically wouldn't work in college for some reason, then you're fine

if you can get girls now, then you'll probably do atleast ok in college.

if she wouldn't friendzone you irl she won't friendzone you because of your texts, barring you somehow being radically different over text than you are normally.

no you're not, yes it is.

by self confidence, i meant confidence in going up to them and talking to them/flirting/making conversation in person, not over text

Dude, you're on the right track! Don't listen to all these dudes that say text game is necessary - texting KILLS relationships. Unless you're setting up a date with a girl or sending her details on how to get where you're going to meet up, the majority of your communication should be in person. Too many things can get misinterpreted via text, especially if it becomes a thing where you text her and it ends up taking hours for her to get back to you. I once had a girl get mad at me for not responding back to a text she sent for 10 hours 'cause I was on a studio set where they didn't let us have phones. This is why I tell girls when I meet them that I'm not much of a phone/text guy. If you establish this with them in the beginning, you won't have to worry about it being a problem later on. Hope this helps!
 

"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.

from what I've observed, guys who were successful at pulling ***** in high school had success in college as well, I think the majority of guys who have girlfriends in college, hook-up in college very likely had those positive experiences in high school as well, well at least the majority

You've heard the basics about college dating: more types of guys, more freedom, and more mature relationships (hopefully). But with close living quarters, no parents, and stressful classes, things get intense, and college has its own soap operas. Read on for the inside dirt you'd have no way of knowing until you're on campus — and need to know if you already are. Great sources!

My high school game sucked. When I got to college it exploded. It's all a numbers game bro.

Also, if you're better in person then GAME HER IN PERSON. When you get her number, just text her to set up an in-person date! If you don't answer her texts or respond minimally - HER INTEREST WILL INCREASE. Yes it's crazy.

Don't become her texting buddy. Just use it as a tool to get her to meet you in person.
 

"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.
