"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I graduate this December and just do not care anymore. Men go to bars to find girls and the girls here suck. They are not worth wasting another syllable over. I don't care if I don't get any action either because my ass will be gone by January hopefully. Drinking at home is way better and cheaper too lol. I can see taking a girl out to bar, but going out with your male friends in hoping to talk to women is a waste of time and money. I've also had a few dates and they were all awful. If prostitution became legal in the states than that would be the best thing to happen to men. We can have sex without having to deal with the bull****. Last, I do not want to put all the blame on women. Men have tolerated their parasitic behavior and skewed up the supply and demand curve. If you aren't some model or have social circle connections then good luck chuck. Even if you do get that pucci than you have to deal with a human that is self entitled because she has a vagina. No Gracias El Jeffrey.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Good post. Getting pvssy does take a moderate amount of work even for a guy who generally has no trouble getting it. You are either dealing with all of the gaming, talking, doing all the right things to get her in the sack for the first time. Even if her IL is high, you can screw it up so easily especially in the very beginning.... Or, if you have already railed her once, you are dealing with keeping her IL right so you can rail her again, and that goes for any STR, LTR, or even marriage.. Both said situations are time and effort. IMO the whole reason prostitution is not legal in the USA is because if it was then women would be loosing the biggest weapon of power that they have, their holy poon holes. Same with sex bots, and even porn. The femicvnts hate all of it, because it all takes their power away.. I agree too about drinking at home. I still sometimes go to the two bars I am a regular at but lately I've been drinking only soda, and then having my beer when I get home for the evening.

Good point, if prostitution were legal guys would just buy thier poon and not worry about dates and what not. I think I would do that. At least at this point. I think the effort put out in getting poon at least on my part does not make it worth it. I don't enjoy the process. Women would lose power indeed.

I don't know about the prostitution part. Sounds like a money sink to me.
 

"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.

Remember when people went out to have fun and meeting women was just a side-effect? If you don't, then you've been focusing on women too much.
Then I don't go out lol. Works for me.

I don't know anything about PS4s or gaming, but any device that you can hook to the Internet and talk to people through can be used to talk to girls and get you laid.

I was going to stay in tonight.....I keep wanting to stay in. However, that would be sitting
in a one bed room flat. No big deal I have the voices in my head to keep me company....

A few beers in the fridge. Fvck it...but a bottle of Cardhu. My mate had given this Romanion
bird my number. she was hitting up my phone, lives too far but I'd like to bang her. I have a couple
of nights free stay at a hotel thanks to hotel.com...she's up for it...I put her on the long finger. Mate calls, not
sure if he wants to go out. Come over at least, have a drink. We talk about game, which is a shock as he
is kind of blue pill, but he's changing. Decent looking guy and he thinks his hit and miss vegas crack pot game is
game....

I'm feeling France. My heart is with you les francais.

Shall we go out? Yeah. I live beside the bars...

Me and the kid go out. We hit a couple of bars, I start with my "cheesy pick up lines are back but in
an ironic way" buzz. not even in the mood. But it's a laugh.

We bump into Rokaya. Jesus I would turn AFC for her....no, treat them all the same. She won't let me use her in a jelousy
plot but she is laughing pretty hard. What about the Casa Negra? Rokaya and her beta mates are going to some club that is ****e, me and the kid continue on our way. Bit bummed about France, I have many connections there. Leave it until tomorrow to think about it. Approaching a few chicks with the "from a scale of 1 to 10 you're a 9, and I'm the 1 you need". The kid just told me I just approached "the best looking chick in the place". Did I? She didn't seem that much fun...fvck her.

The kid wants to go home. I go out and smoke a J with him. Are you staying or going he asks me? Ah I'll go back in for one more beer I tell him...

I want that bar girl's number. I'm sure she was...

Now?

Sitting here in the nakedness of morning swigging on a beer.....Italian chick wet and well satisfied lying in the nakedness of my room...

Bar girl next time...
I thought we were staying in?

what's a psp4?

You point your finger at me, but I don't believe...

whatever you do, be it of your own desire, not a fvcking reaction.

It's good to be free....

 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's an easy and fun escape IMO, and Ive had my fair share of online gaming. But other than the escape and having fun, have I improved my life by doing it? True Ive saved some money, and saved some pain by not having to face the real world. However, like in the words of Neil Strauss; you live by the joystick, you die by the joystick.

It's easy to get sucked into that vortex. I remember even playing all night and being absolutely worhless at work the next day, not to mention chickless.

Decisions and paths are everywhere in life.

I didn't say I was not improving myself. I am still hitting the gym, trying to make it through this last semester, and am waiting to hear back from a couple of jobs I interviewed for.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.

This. I went out last night, didn't even drink. My friends all got together and we went out and had a blast, dancin and shenanigans included. Why other setting your sights on girls in bars when the real reason for going out is to have fun. If you go out and expect to get women, you won't and you will not have any fun either because you'll be placing fun in the hands of the girls that you won't get with your mindset.

Depressing post. I'm all for gaming, but going out is too damn fun and there are too many things going on than to sit in front of my TV all night.

The clubs that have dancing charge a cover, I have to take an uber or walk really far, and the people from the ghetto and rural hills of east tn conglomerate there.

Whatever man. You'll be back. I tried running away and finding comfort in games alot of times but it's just not the same anymore. Go and have fun. Talk to me in one week - your horizon has widened so much, computer games will never fulfill you again. You will keep coming back to real life again and again, and that's a good thing.
 

"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.

Just want to chime in, perhaps a bit unrelated, but video games and having success with chicks are not mutually exclusive.

A good friend of mine is an avid Magic:The Gathering fan of all things (the trading card game), and he's had a great relationship (to my knowledge) with his HB9 asian gf of 4 years, who seems to love the heck out of him!

Enjoy your passions, whatever they may be. Many women won't care whether they are stereotypically 'nerdy', or dorky. In fact, seeing you immersed in and enjoying a task is something women sometimes find charming or attractive about you.

Op is butthurt clearly, it's spilling out of your post.

Just look at your thread title "I gave up"...which is a sign of resignation, defeat and surrender. It certainly doesn't sound like something you did willingly.
I graduate this December and just do not care anymore.
So at least at one point you did care right? (and probably still do).

You say that the women where you are suck, and for the moment it seems you do too.

You come across very negative and down beat in this post and to be honest I can see why you're struggling, who wants to be around that?

How people see you and react to you is none of your business, that's their problem...

Remember though, women need men just as much as we need them and they only have as much power as we (individually as men, not as a whole) give them.

You are right, I did not do this willingly. If I could attract women then I would do so, but I wasn't handed that card in life. I have to deal with the hand given to me. If I accept the concept of me needing a woman then I will probably die out because I lack the qualities women desire and I don't like women in general. I must either adapt to the situation or suffer. I haven't been out since I made this post and I deleted tinder. So far, I don't miss any of them and only get reminded of them because of my roommates. If a girl wants to talk to me then so be it, but I am not wasting another syllable on trying to attract a woman.

Well that's depressing. American women do suck anyway though.....This is why arranged marriages existed in the first place...
 

"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.
