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.

Ive come to the point where advice are only useful short term as an inspiration and a reminder but long term success comes from myself. Having this thread up just makes me feel worse and that is the last thing I want to feel. Thanks to whoever read my post.

If there is anyone else out there felt like they've reached rock bottom. Feel free to PM and I'll be more than happy to share my story.

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
With what? Girls? Life?

You can't be out on the street, since you have regular Internet access, right?

If it's about women...it's not that serious. Honestly.

I concur with the above. Anytime I get down or frustrated about something (and especially if that something in any way relates to women), I am reminded about how blessed I am to live a relatively comfortable life, and how insignificant most of my worries are in the grand scheme of things.

It often takes an event like the earthquakes in Haiti for people like us to better appreciate how fortunate we are to live where we live and to have the advantages we enjoy. The mere fact that we have time to expend thought and energy on women "problems" speaks volumes about how fortunate we are.

This too shall pass.

Right now the people of Port au Prince, Haiti are at rock bottom. Keep your head up bro.

Interestingly though, our problems with women are directly connected to the privileged life we(and the women) enjoy....
 

"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.

Furthermore, I'd be willing to bet that many of the people currently struggling in Haiti...probably don't have nearly as much trouble getting laid as we do in "first-world" countries.

Just a thought...as long as the convo is going down this avenue.

What an annoying first post comment. Try some basic introductory information then tell us what is the matter. If you're running your life like your first post comments, I'm not at all surprised you're having difficulties.

It appears to me as though he removed the original post (edited it out). I never read the original post so I have no idea what it was he was saying. But it looks like he was embarassed about the original post so he removed it and replaced it with this note explaining why.
