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.

So. HB asks if you're a player/dj/etc...

What's your best response you can think of?
 

"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Might at first glance seem like self-depreciation (which is usually not recommended), but it's not really.

You're taking her demand for information and putting it back at her in a humorous way (with the plausible deniability that you didn't know what she was really talking about, even though you both know that you did)..

I think this would work, especially if she knows (or it is obvious from your body) that you are fit and play sports.

My typical response is a bit different:

"Are you a player?"

"Yeah, I am actually, love doing it... (pause for a second while she wonders did he REALLY say that?)

"Mostly cricket at the moment, but also do football and tennis".

(Modify sports to suit your own life)

I've been told before "you're a player"

and I just simply said to the HB "and you're a playerette"

that usually shut them up because every girl is basically a playerette.
 

"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.

When a girl ask me this I just say. I date girls but I wouldn't consider myself a player. Why do you ask?

I'd just be straight up, no bull****tin, and say: "I know how the game works."

You could also ask what her what her definition of a player is, exactly. In order to prevent being put in any slots you don't want to be put in to.

A girl don't know wtf a player is. I don't even know exactly what a player is.
