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.

Ok i got a really nice watch. I bought it for about $3,000. it has a bunch of diamonds its basically bling bling. Im 24 so still young, in college getting my masters etc. when i go out to bars wherever a girl will compliment me on my watch or say let me see that etc. 2 nights ago a hb7 (she was pretty drunk i think) came right up to me (gave me heavy eye contact earlier in the night) and grabbed my hand to look at my watch. another time i was with my friend and he introduced me to some hbs we went out to the bars and a couple of them told my friend they really liked my watch. one of them later on during the night came up to me and was like wow your watch is so nice and went on about sh!t. another night my friend was talking to his hb friend and he was like would u fvck him for his watch? she was like let me see it i showed it to her and she was like i like your style. And I was in Vegas playing craps and some hb about 5 minutes later after coming to the table was like do i know you from somewhere?

I stick out like crazy with that watch. I typically say yea its cool, or i just simply say thanks followed by me complimenting them on something of theirs. What is the proper thing to say cause recently i have had a lot of encounters and get tongue tied. the watch is an automatically a DHV.
 

"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.

Next time just follow up with "Wait till you see my (insert)." Car, house, boat...

or

"Ehh, I should've worn the rolex."

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Or treat it like it's nice, but not a huge thing: "Yeah, I had a good month and treated myself to something nice. It also tells the time."

I love it, people spend so much money on things and even when it works in attracting attention, they have no idea how to use it. Just say that it pretty cool the type of things you find in a box of Cocoa Pebbles (or in a McDonald's Happy Meal if you like fast food). Either way, don't let it go to waste after spending so much money on it. BTW, nice watch.

Just say "Thank You"

Trying to brag or any other similar type of behavior will just "LYV" - Lower Your Value.

You've heard it before, so act like it. :up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Reminds me of a pickup line I heard (or maybe used? :crackup: kidding) once. Tell her its a magic, talking watch. put your wrist next to your ear for a second and get a WOW look on your face.

you: "It said you're not wearing any panties."

her: "thats not true!"

you: "oh crap! I'm an hour early."

first off your from cali so im surpised this is coming from someone from the most materialistic place on earth. but yea man i know where youre coming from. Im a spoiled kid seriously though. my parents make some decent dough so i have a cusion just in case. yea im not a baller like my parents but still im young and like nice sh!t. even if i had a million dollars in my pocket a ch!ck what not even see 1% of that for a while. so i guess either way they will be disappointed according to you. Why do i wanna buy something nice when im 50 with kids? When i wear my watch espically at bars if im wearing a long sleeve shirt which i do often since its freezing over here the watch is covered half way under my shirt for most of the night once in a while ill flash it but not all night long. if im wearing a short sleeve shirt then i have no choice. But ive gotten chicks w/out the watch before and wout my car. I like materialistic sh!t though. Its not just for the girls but for me also. I work out like 6 days a week. I do it 1. for myself to be healthy 2. To look good. I bought a brand new benz 2 years ago. I bought 1. Cause i like cars and they are really reliable, great service and the car runs really smooth and it looks cool. 2. to pull chicks also.

Basically i bought my car 1 week after i broke up with my ex. I needed a new one also cause my car was a money pit. so i was p!ssed and wanted to cheer my self up and got a pretty good deal. with no intentions of getting back with my ex she called me one night cause some sh!t went down. a couple days later we talked i was like yea i got a new car nonchalantly not even bragging or anything didnt even mention what kind it was. couple days later she calls again cause she was going through hard times told her im picking up my car if u wanna come. Were talking and then they pull my car around and the next thing you know her arm is around my arm asking me to stay at her house that night (we were together for a year before i had the car) that sh!t was classic. then we were together for another year and broke up. anyways im just trying to say im not desperate like you think. i dont expect this sh!t to take me the distance it gets to a point were it wont matter what i have.
but i like the sh!t gives me even higher confidence (i know im good looking, educated, straight head on my shoulders just trying to get the whole package atleast what i see as one in my eyes) and it also gets the ch!cks so why not?

have you seen real diamonds high quality v low quality. theres a huge difference. you think a movado that cost 500 dollars is going to get the same reaction as my watch? no way. i see dudes with movados that try to floss so i decided im going to seperate myself from them and be a couple steps higher. a girl would go up to a guy with a movado and be like wow nice watch cause thats probably the nicest watch theyve seen. they see mine its a whole different reaction. i see chicks staring at my sh!t all day long out of the corner of my eye i dont really see them glaring at movados or whatever on other dudes you cant floss a 500 dollar watch with little or no diamonds like a 3000 dollar watch with high quality diamonds that bling like crazy. its just like buying cubics if you arent going to get the real thing then theres no point. when you see dudes with big diamonds in the ears no that is desperate trying to look like a baller with 30 dollar earrings from macys

Diamonds in a $3k watch? Sorry dude, but either the movement or the diamonds are cheap. My bet is on the movement, since it's hidden... My current watch is in a plain stainless steel case... and cost a whole lot more than $3k. The rose gold version cost double again. The diamond version... well, I think they start at over 100 grand when new.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I had the lady read me the specs on the diamonds before i bought it. Diamonds are colorless good clarity and cut. basically high quality. The movement might be cheap but that part doesnt really bother me. what is so great about a good movement?

A guy walks into a bar. Bartender looks at his Rolex and asks, "Why the hell do you need such an expensive watch?" The guy looks at the bartender and says, "Because I can't drive my Porsche into the bar." :cheer:

Yes, just say, "thank you". After a few years, you'll have had so many compliments on it and you'll get so sick of talking about it that you'll just want to switch topics.

Aix, I'm not joining the PHD-pull him down- crew but I don't believe that a watch with diamonds will cost 3k. My earring with only one stone cost that much and my watch with no diamond is close to that price. Get it checked(varified) independently to make sure it’s not rip-off, if you got it on a downtown Asian street....duh!
 

"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.
