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 respond to girls fishing for compliments?

"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.

Why would you be afraid of busting on a girl jokingly?nismo-4 said:
Sometimes guys are a bit slow of the mark, and need a bit of prompting to say pick up the pace, and one way is getting him to compliment you. If the guy compliments my hair or smile, i do move things along by saying i prefer my breasts, which come second to my firm round ass. Hopefully by then he gets the hint, and comes in for a feel.
"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.

I think compliments are fine, as long as they are not empty ass-kissing. Most guys are blatant ass-kissers to women. As soon as they sense that she wants a compliment, they will gush a lot of blather about how great something is. If a girl says, "do you like my _____?" don't just spit out an affirmative answer. I usually say something like, "I don't know. Let me look." And then I will spend a brief moment actually thinking about what she asked...and then simply tell her what I think. Usually, I can find something nice to say. The point is to actually have a conversation. Compliments are ok if they are genuine. But part of being a genuine person is telling her you don't like something when that is really the case.
1. It better be sincere, deep, not superficial.
2. Be ORIGINAL in the way you PHRASE your compliments. You're looking beautiful WORKS... but if you put a bit more effort... You're beautiful, smart, how come you didn't join a pageant contest?
3. Don't overdo it. Respect the value of scarcity. That way, your next compliment hits her even harder.
never give rewards if the girl did nothing to receive them. AFC all over it.
it sorta happened today, a girl in my class came with a new haircut. I said congratz on the new haircut
I don't really have an opinion when it comes it haircuts, it was a haircut. she looked good before it and she looks as good after it(in a different style) not particularly scoring high in my book
but in the middle of class she asks me if I think it looks nice. I don't feel you have a choice, I said "yeah they do" I didn't overdo it
I really think it is impossible to say no, or not really or not much or regular or give any average rating when it comes to cases like this At the same time, guys who notice haircuts and obviously understand style a little bit are rare, so I never miss an opportunity to say a girl's new hair looks nice. I'm just appreciating, not trying to get anything out of her.
Also, noticing smaller details is great too. Try noticing if she's done her nails, or if she has new earrings, or something like that.
"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 notice and might occasionally say stuff(didn't happen with this particular girl yet) her fault though, she always leaves class with this other guymarinetti said:
let him giver he the compliments, I am not getting so much as a polite hello on regular days, I feel as if she asked me to see if it will impress him lolI just don't like compliments to be forced out of me this way, I like to give genuine compliments, with eye contact and sincerity and details and all that, but when I am asked, I get confused
Does my butt look too big?
Yes you're giving hippos a run for their money! (laugh)
Do you like my hair?
Yes I do the bull dyke look is in this summer! (laugh)
Do you like this dress(any artical of clothing)?
Yes, I have one just like it and I love wearing it! (laugh)
Make up your own ....try to be funny though ---not mean.....
This makes them crazy that you won't be serious
Just make sure to hold your ground and refuse to give them a straight answer
Complements are for very special ocassions
Chicks who fish for them are used to p*ssy boys jumping at the chance to "be nice" and compliment them....suplication p*ssies
It's kind of a sh!t test.....don't fall for it
Always .....Agree and Amplify
Try this and you will be AMAZED at what you can get away with ...AND...how much you control a once awkward situation
Over and Out.
