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.

I'm curious how many cities the DJ's have lived in.

Nothing seasons a DJ like moving to a new city. I have lived in 12 US states, including 10 in the past 12 years. I've also been to at least 7 countries.
 

"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 will assume those who viewed this but did not respond only lived in 1 city. If you're still in the city you went to high school in, your DJ perspective and success rate will be dramatically impacted. Popularity in a town is one of the most attractive qualities in a man, but it's not portable. Get away from there.

Ha! Timely post, but you already know my situation.

It'd be nice to bump my number up to at least 4 or 5 by the time I hit 40, assuming I don't fall hard for any one particular city.

Neil, what's with the single unit increments and then five unit increments? :trouble: That's quite a jump in there!

This it's highly artificial. It pretty much makes you a pineapple that only thrives in a specific shaded area in the columbian mts.
 

"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 used to throw the biggest parties, back when I lived in my favorite town in my home state of MA (1998-2002). I would invite every beautiful girl I saw for 2 weeks prior. 60 gorgeous women would show up, 80 people on average. I served homemade pizza, organic salsa, guacamole and the best wine. Everyone was welcome. I never had a bad incident after 13 parties. It was the best way to score. When multiple women who like you are in the same room together, they all suddenly love you. Those were the days.

On the road you can't have parties, sadly.

Two bigger metro areas, one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin.

But within the same metro area in Illinois I have lived 10 different places, the longest at one being 15 years, and the shortest being 3 months.
