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.
Help me get better at online dating.

"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.

Stop using Tinder and use POF and OKC. OLD is based on pictures, so make sure they help you instead of hurt you.

Don't pay much attention to women with empty profiles and focus on ones with profiles you like. Sure, you'll get fewer numbers, but the numbers you do get will be women you'll have a high probability of having fun with.
Don't try and force conversation by asking a bunch of questions, it will flow naturally when she has interest. If you get a lame response don't reply. Maybe test her interest again after a week or two, but if nothing then cross her off the list. Less is more in online dating, the more time you spend the more you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel for women with low interest or who you aren't that attracted to.
You need to come up with some kind of funny opener that will get them to respond. Compliment them on one of there hot pics. Ask her to meet you for drinks.

"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.

-pictures are everything!
-comedy and sarcasm is very tricky
I have actually had the most success with coffee meets bagel, I think largely due to the small amount of matches they get per day. I have had 5 different women literally just give me their number saying "I don't check this app often, text me". Also, you can't send messages till your matched like tinder.
POF and OKC women can browse matches for hours and get flooded with messages. I hit those every couple days, but I really need better pics...
