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.

How are any of you not resentful?

You will be bitter and angry in the beginning, but soon you will start to understand.

The Matrix will all make sense very soon. Just keep learning and improving yourself.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Amorality is not a dirty word.

You must accept women are empty vessels to be filled by men. Women don't say "word is bond" et al or gauge a persons worth with a handshake for a reason. Women never had to develop this skill set. The nature needed for teamwork, sacrifice, an eye for beauty, philosophy (civilization building) is and always will be the realm of men. Man is a monad, which means he's an island unto himself. Woman is a henid, she is substance without form. Or if your a religious man try to comprehend it by recognizing that man was created in God's image. A fun fact: Men knew all this for thousands of years. It's only the last five decades give or take we dropped the ball and forgot (with a little help).

Accept it, live it and love it.
Yeah that's why I've been learning about the truth of the statement about what PlayerSupreme said in one of his YouTube comments "Because it is what we are born to do. Sorry that is life. Women bear the kids. We are the laborers of life and creators of civilizations"

What pisses me off is that being resentful is frowned upon in men more than women, a resentful women can still get laid but that's because she is getting laid by a man that is not resentful, but resentful men do not get laid unfortunately

I'm at peace with it these days. Women's behavior ranges from cute to "roll my eyes" silly/lame. It's not so much, "I hate them; they're F-ed up" anymore.

After a while, you've pretty much seen (most of) it all so you aren't terribly surprised anymore.

Resentment is like the scab you don't let heal. You scratch at it and pick at it to remind yourself you have been wounded, and whom or what inflicted it. A part of you likes picking at it, another annoyed that it won't fade away.

Eventually, when you no longer care about why it's there, one day you will look at that spot and it either is gone with no trace, or there is a scar.

In the words of the Roadhammers:

"I've got the scars to prove it"

"You're not alone
There is more to this I know!
You will make it out
You will live to tell"

These were both past breakup theme songs for me. Got me motivated to take action and move on.

I've lived to tell, as have many other guys who have treaded the trenches of women and relationships. Solace will be found within. And eventually your scars will remind 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.

The more I resented the more narcissistic I became, eventually that led me down a period of depression not to long ago
full of anger and emptiness many here has felt.
But a couple more miles down the road, I learned and grew away from the resentment.

The anger and bitterness soon fade away as I learned how the game worked, my happiness didn't depend on the validation of the opposite sex but rather it was molded by my own personal objective of whether it be business or pleasure.

In which this is why we're all here on this forum, at one point we resented or perhaps is still resenting.
We're here to share our knowledge and wisdom to not only become a better man, but a truly happy being as a whole.

Are you resentful towards dogs? Are you pissed that they bark and leave their fur everywhere and piss in the corner? If you are then you have a problem.

A dog is a dog, it can not change it's essence and the same is with girls. Girls are girls and you have to accept that. If you accept it then you can move on and start playing using the new rules.

I've known about these dynamics for quite some time but my eyes keep getting opened anew. This last month or so has been a real wakeup call to me.

I don't feel resentful. I think women get screwed over pretty bad in this new way of doing things. No point resenting them for it, but I certainly am not feeling like getting married any time soon.

Your typical AFC is putting women on a pedestal not because he is genuinely a "nice guy" but because he mistakenly believes that this is the way he has to act to get laid.

THIS is why girls do not like the "good guys" (aka the manipulative boring corny guys who listened too much to their mother's, cousin's and romantic movies' advices)

girls see that. and then these guys come whining that girls like the "bad boys" (aka those who know what they want, aren't afraid to show it, they go for it, have b@lls, and generally are MANLIER)

girls (women) are like they are. the sooner you accept it, the sooner you will be happy. if you can't change the system, change yourself. use it to your advantage.

if you wanna make an apple pie, you will not resent the pumpkin for being different than apple. you go get APPLES. or if you do not have access to it, make a pumpkin pie. regret, resentment and being miserable is totally worthless and useless because it is not productive.

being angry (resentful) means punishing yourself for the stupidity of others.

Also the bad boys tease and poke fun at girls when talking to them, I learned out of boot camp that teasing and poking fun at a girl in a playful way is critical if you want to avoid the friend zone
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
