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 like this approach?

Hypothetical: Hey do you like the Yankees? ( I know she doesnt possibly to impress me). "No." Well did you know they got swept yesterday (I dont think she keeps up with baseball). "Yes or NO" Well they did you should have seen blah blah. "Yeah theat sounds blah blah blah." (If she answers positvely): "Too bad baseball season is over, but you sound interesting, do you want to go to a knicks game sometime?" The only problem is I dont want to take her to a game ($) ad would rather do something else Sound smooth?, plz input
 

"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.

"Nice weather, right baby?"

"Want go enjoy it sometime?" or "Your right, we should spend time inside. Together. Alone"

This was sarcasm. Sorry Zach, I don't like that opener.

But if it's the best you got and it flows with your personality then go for it.

You might succeed where others would fail.

My bed, your girl.
I wouldn't use that approach if I were you. Unless you've already used it successfully.

No chick is gonna go out with some random guy who goes up to her and starts randomly talking about baseball.

She'll think you're a desperate creep.
 

"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.

that opener is not gonna do you much good. Need some C+F, and something interesting.

Girls generally dont like it when you talk about sports unless they are into that sport aswell.

Don't do this!!! lol. All you have to do is get her phone number. You don't need to get a date on the spot.

A. The Yankees are a tough team to choose in the first place because people either love them or they hate them.
B. Girls don't like sports, if they do, you don't want to date them.
C. Why would you drop the cash on a Knicks game for a random girl.
D. Why are you planning out openers?

Just let it flow... get out there and practice talking to real people It will become more natural to you. And you won't sound like a robot when you're delivering your "lines"
 

"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.

Dude, it sounds corny as **** but try it out and tell us how it goes. I live in Miami, so I could probably get away with "Did you guys see that hit the guy laid on Trent Green?" Most of the guys above me haven't put their balls on the line for a cold approach yet (I'm no expert either), so just go with it. I've made a fool of myself saying dumb things. I asked a girl her name then told her we went to the same middle school. Did I **** her? No. She was to some extent weirded out, but she and I are cool now. But I'd rather sometimes look like an idiot and meet new people than sit on the sidelines. It's better to fail than to fail not even trying.

Everyone repeat after me:

Canned openings don't work.

Louder!

Canned openings don't work.

That's better. Now, not only that--I trust I made the point clear?--you missed the whole point of the approach, which is to be interesting enough for her to want to talk to you. If a girl walks up to you and starts telling about how in the fifth season of Sex and the City the redhead hooks up with this guy and blah blah blah, are you gonna stand around and talk to her? Well, you might, but you'll be thinking "holy crap she is so boring!"

What's important in real life--I'm in College--is even more important in high school. High school girls are the dumbest thing ever, so unless you're actually somewhat interesting, you'll get next-ed faster than you can say "dumb."

Also, Rejected123 (change your username, that's just a negative attitude), while I agree going up to her is the most important part, you have to have something to say, or be able to come up with random stuff to say. Having an idea of what to open with is important, but it shouldn't be a canned opener.

My unsollicited advice? Just notice something about the girl, the situation, or whatever, and when you walk up and say "hi" to her, just comment on it. Make her laugh--not by telling jokes, but just by being witty. Be ****y, but don't be a jerk. Start by just showing you're not a creep with no life by commenting on whatever's around (including the girl), and then move on to having a "deeper" conversation. And by deeper conversation, I don't mean you should start discussing the fine points of the third law of thermodynamics, but just something beyond "I really like the band tonight" or "can you believe that guy over there with the pink and brown shirt?"

Now remember, kids,

Canned openings don't work.
