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.

Hi,
I have been told many times by numerous chick and people that I always look too serious all the time and don't smile very often unless I have a reason to. Despite all this, I am naturally goofy in nature when chicks get to know me and I love to have a laff all the time. But my problem is the fact that I always appear serious to everyone that sees me especially if we have never met before or something like that. Any advice please!!!
 

"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.

My advice is to practice smiling at everyone. Whenever you see someone randomly on the streets, or wherever you may be, smile and say hello :)

Your serious look on your face is a Plus under certain circumstances.
When it comes to chicks you have to smile, practice smiling as the OP said. i prefer to watch some comedy clips online to light my mood up before i go out.
hope this helps

I notice that even when I'm not smiling people might smile at me and say hi. I don't really make an effort to smile at people, even at work. I think it makes me come off a bit chumpy.


I also notice that sometimes when I've got my serious face on, and I see a cute girl who can cheer me up in 1 second, it's a good feeling. The girl has to be the one to cheer up the man, and vice versa. So just have your face reflecting your inner state. Be open.

Another time I went into a club because this guy owed me money. I was just done kickboxing and I heard he was in the club, because I had dropped by his house and talked to his dad. Anyway there was adrenaline and anger pumping through my veins, and I remember people all looking at me like: 'whoa'. I saw a hot blonde and said hi to her, and I think she really appreciated that I said hi to her although I was in such a tense 'killer' state of mind.

That 'killer' look will probably do better for you than a smile. Think of Charlie Sheen.

I have the same problem sunkist. It's almost like my face is stuck that way. I find it really hard to smile and when I talk, my mouth hardly moves because it feels frozen. Every now and then I can loosen up and it isn't a problem. It seems to happen the most when I am stressed out or having some anxiety issues. It really gets to be a big problem. I don't look friendly at all.
 

"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.

Wtffffffffffffff?

Let me see if I get this straight:

Don't agree at all. If you believe that you need to rely on a girl for a good attitude, there are some underlying problems that stem further than your facial expressions.

Do people really blieve that a scowl--especially the forced ones--are attractive? let's forget about getting girls for a second, and imagine what we'd think if we saw someone forcibly making unhappy looks. Personally I can see usually see through the charade, and I don't have a desire to talk to them because people who excersise forced scowls look stupid to me.

An indifferent face is one thing, but putting in an effort to look tough is so insecure. When I see guys doing that (man I see a lot) I make sure to laugh right in their face. I don't get how you think a scowl is cool? It's the gayest **** ever in my opinion.


Clint Eastwood, James Bond, all the idols you can think of, smiled, from time to time. If you work on your **** and take care of yourself, people will flock to you whether you have a deformed face or not.

Well I work on my **** and I take care of myself.
I am still workin on my game personally, but I think playing any mind games by acting differently sucks. Anyway today I did walk around basically with a big scowl on my face. I am tense because of school, so my scowl wasn't forced. Anyway i got invited to make out with 2 girls at the same time. Which was alright. I was goddam surrounded by like 8 girls. Didn't really know what to do and I lost them...

Feels good to know that I still got it in me though. Wish I coulda got something in the girl.... Oh well. I am trying out the bad boy - nice guy spectrum. I realised it's best to wear a buttoned long sleeve shirt for sure though for me.

I wish I knew how to get these girls into bed...

I'm going to carry on scowling until I find a girl who is my taste. Because if I act needy it turns off the girls.

they were both blondes btw.
 

"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.

EXACTLY. for me it was a step by step process

first, I got in to the habit of smiling at my family members anytime i would see them. It was kind of a joke.

but pretty soon I started doing it to my coworkers and some of them have told me that I am always smiling.

Then I began smiling at strangers every time I pass them on the sidewalk, in a hallway, or hold the door for them. It became a habit to smile and say "hi" or "hey".

now it feels natural for me to smile to anybody at any time.
