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've only posted a few posts, but i've been reading on this forum forever. i've read almost the entire HS bible and i still don't really understand. Whenever i start a convo with a girl, they always show absolutly no interest. i do it with a smile, eye contact, and confidence etc... but they just never seem to pay attention to me for more than a second. how do u guys do it? do i have to build up a good rep before girls will even take a second look at me?
 

"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.

it's not about talking to the girl

you have to be genuinely confident... no faking it (i have a feeling that your confidence isn't REAL, am i right?).

it's about building the attraction.

---

talk slow, talk loud... talk with a deeper voice than normal (don't make it sound fake-ish like barry white-ish.)

in other words, be manly as hell... i'm being very general because there's so many ways to be masculine.

think as if theyre shy, silly young girls 4 years younger than you that look up to you and that they try flirting with you.

(visualize these... doesn't it make it look a lot easier?)

You have to play with her verbally before you can play with her physically. Do things like busting on her a little, doing the whole thing where you tell an unbelievable story or just something and they go "Really!?!" and you take it back by saying "No". And just general joking around, be serious about 10% of the time and when she asks you something never give a straight answer this keeps them talking and asking you questions plus it makes you look smooth and mysterious, this all goes under the catagory of banter. Banter is amazing because its soo mush fun to do and if you meet a girl who can hold her own in verbal banter you will never have those akward silences, did I mention its fun too. In short have fun with the way you talk to her and she'll be more interested in you if you can keep a running conversation.

Heres another point, forget about talking to women for a while, go with some men. Hang out with some guys who you would consider to be cool and are DJs themselves and just see how they act, tell stories, and flirt. Analyse them and see why it works, them apply it to your own game.
 

"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.

Girls need a hook. They need a reason to talk to you. Being really attractive can do it, or a really funny opener, but make it relevant so it's not totally canned. Being on a sports team or knowing her from class could help. Basically, they won't talk to you just because you're talking to them. You have to make them want to talk to you, not just try not to give them any reasons not to.
