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 do you get them to stop calling you a player?

Ok recently I've been working on my short game with women and generally practicing all my DJ skills and becomeing a better human being. Recently I have gotten complety over the fear of going and talking to hot chicks (Though I'm still lacking in the closing area) and because of this more than one of my good female friend (pre DJ) have been calling me a player. Being a "Player" is an extreamly bad rep to have with woman (even if we really are one) and can really hinder your efforts. I was wondering if there was anyway to dispell this image. Thanks guys.

"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.

Who cares if a women calls you a player?

Its only a bad rap because you think it is one. If you didn't care what they said about you then then'd stop saying it.

a good way to not be a player, is to not have sex... and to take relationships very seriously, and not trying to "**** as much and as soon as possible"

Take as a compliment.
 

"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.

I dont think its really a bad rep. Ive had girls call me a player blah blah. That didnt stop them from doing a damn thing. It give them a reason to work harder for your attention.

Being called a playa is awesome I love it, there is something called social proof, if they think you are a playa it is cause they think you have something going for you that chicks love, and that you can get any chick you want.

Having a rep for being a player increases your social value. Women will tease you and maybe even criticize, but will secretly wonder why you are so successful. Giovanni Casanova's success was exponential with the passing of the years specifically because his reputation precededed him.

(Yes, Casanova was a real person.)

true dat!

being a player qualifies you as a good fvcking material, but not a relationship material..

are we complaining here?
 

"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.

Hopefully they wont, there is room for being a DJ within the confines of actually wanting to spend time with one particular woman...

If one is being called a player then It does seem you're overdoing it a wee bit...

Like in my hater topic, your friend notices how you get alot of girls so and knows you can live without her or replace her so she has to be on good mood if she wishs to stick around. She even around you because your becoming hard to get. I had women call me a player to and even still wanna talk to me. Don't let it get you man. Ketp doing what you are doing.

If these player-callers are personal friends from back in the day, how is what they say affecting you or your game?

Women around to watch you play the game over and over again are gonna call you a player. So are the guys! There's nothing you can do about it, and why does it bother you anyway?

Presumably then, you'd prefer they assumed you never scored, to keep them quiet.

Again, how are your friends opinions affecting your game?
