And what are some good ways to be unpredictable? Like if a girl says hi to you and sometimes you're friendly and other times you're rude, is that a bit extreme?
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 unpredictable is too unpredictable?

"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.
Theres no reason to be rude or unpredictable. Just don't be boring.
You can be nice all the time as long as it's from a place or higher value. That means that you're nice because thats what you are. Don't confuse that with AFC nice which is basically being nice to somebody because you want something off them.

Thank you.slaog said:
I hadn't thought of it that way. I really didn't like the idea that I would have to be rude to a girl to keep her interested.Lol @ the other answer.

No EXTREME mixed signals like you did, but some stuff like saying: Hey that's totally unecceptable! Then you give her a kiss. Or Hah that's so sweet of you! Then you give her a spank.
That's the idea!"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
