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 got caught

I got caught playing Sonic CD on my netbook in class while waiting for the professor. I sit in the second row in my class and all the hot girls sit behind me. They saw me playing the classic Sonic the Hedgehog game from 1993.

My reputation is ruined. What should I do to redeem myself?
 

"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.

You should come into class tomorrow wearing some cool sunglasses and a slick leather jacket. Then you nod at the professor and say, "What's up, Teach?" Then you find the hottest group of girls in class, and lay right across their desks. Don't sit. I literally mean LAY.

The sheer alpha-ness of your presence will erase all memories of today's terrible video game disaster.

This is the only path to redemption.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Heh... I'm 25. Not even a video game nerd. Or a nerd at all. Those classic games are where it's at.

You don't need to redeem yourself. Are you planning to game these girls? If not, then who cares? And also... why the hell not?

And if you are gonna try to game them, there are so many ways to play it. In the slim chance they even bring it up, just go along with it. Don't curl up into a ball thinking your chances are ruined. I know guys that would do something like this on purpose to get a girls attention. Relax.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I'm not a nerd either nor do I even look like one, and I wasn't planning on gaming the chicks anyway. Gaming chicks at a community college sucks...Especially down here.

Wait. You were serious?

You seriously thought you needed to "redeem yourself" after other people saw you playing a video game?

Dude, no one gives two f**ks about what you were doing. These people have lives. They probably looked at you for 3 minutes, chuckled, and moved on with their days. They forgot about it 10 minutes later. And they damn well won't remember by tomorrow.

I thought you were trolling. Because it sounded so ridiculous. If something like this "ruined your reputation" then let's face it, you had a sh*t reputation to begin with.

Yesss sonic rules all!!! I still love that game. As PDubb said, old school games are the shiit! Hell I'm almost 30 and I'd have no problems if hot girls saw me play that game... I'd be dam proud! If anything you could have smiled at them and made a joke or used it as a conversation starter.

Stop worrying about reputation etc... work on improving yourself. You're only 21 years old and have tons of time to learn and improve. This is nothing but a short and funny episode that you can learn from.

If you are...EMBARASSED to be caught playing SONIC...you have an extremely weak reality.

How do I put this?
You know how nerds walk around thinking "What do others think of me, what do others think!?" You're that nerd.

Cool people...this doesn't even register for them. Seriously if I had sonic, pokemon, whatever....I wouldn't even care. Like, who gives a crap? You need to work on your inner game.
 

"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.

Everyone's right OP, this is no big deal. I once played DBZ in class during the last days of the term, I had all the popular chicks requesting special moves.....if you don't look like a nerd & you have true confidence & charisma, you can get away with nearly anything.
 

"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.

I agree with everyone here, the classic games are the sh!t. Invite them over to play Mario Kart 64 or Double Dash :rockon:

One of the biggest players on my campus watches DragonballZ, idolizes Sonic, and is a complete nerd. He still pulls girls all the time and he knows he's a nerd. It's all about self-confidence! For Christ sakes, he wears Sonic shirts to class complete with necklaces :)

Hahaha! You're talking about a videogame!? :crackup:

Dude! As long as you're not a complete social misfit and/or addict, chicks dig playing videogames with you! ;)

And here I thought you were caught whacking off to gay midget porn or something! :crackup:
