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.

Hot girl pulled up tight pants after glancing back at me at post office. Was she interested?

I have always wondered if a girl pulling up her pants especially if they are tight pants after she sees a guy is a sign that she thinks the guy is attractive or the opposite.

Today I was at the post office and a hot girl wearing tight pants looked back making eye contact with me and then proceeded to pull her pants up.

I'm basically an average-looking guy like most men in that some women find me attractive and some don't so I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure it has happened to other guys reading so I'm just curious to hear what you think.
 

"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.

She's advertising her shape and wants to look her best at all times when around men. It could mean she's available. Only one way to find out.…
Approach her.

She was with a guy so I didn't approach her.

I generally adjust my wardrobe or hair when in public, more so when a cute guy is around

Good advice. Just approach and say anything, to get into the habit of "test and find out" instead of "ask and see what people say."

You'll have a good idea which one it is by how she responds.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah, as I mentioned I couldn't approach her because a guy was with her. Sure, the guy could have been her brother but odds are it was her significant other.

I don't know, though. Sure, she could have done it because she found me attractive but she also could have done it because she was self-conscious.
It's just one of those things where you don't know how to interpret it.

Life is full of them. Trivial stuff like that. Best to only give your brain power to the important things.
I usually find instances like that amusing, then throw the thought away.

Approach anyway.

The fact that you don't care that there's another guy there could increase her interest level. For all you know he could've been her wallet or her beta boy.

If all else fails just smile and back out smoothly, don't get ruffled by her or the guy.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

What odds? What objective sources and data did you use to make that call? It sounds like an unsupported claim.

Was she interested? Maybe. Did she just want attention? Maybe. Was she not interested at all? Maybe. You will never find out unless you approach. If a woman is with a guy, it's very simple to find out their relationship. You walk up to her and ask in a casual tone "Hi, I noticed you from the other side of the room. Is this your boyfriend?"

If she's attracted to you, the guy will be "just a friend" or even if they have sexual history, but not an exclusive relationship, she'll respond well. If she doesn't like you, she'll say it's actually her boyfriend, regardless of whether it's true or false. And, of course, if the guy is her boyfriend then she may tell you loud and clear that he is her man.

If you're worried about conflict and/or violence in the event the dude turns out to be her boyfriend and he becomes aggressive, just say "whoops, my bad man" and walk away. Case closed.
