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 wonder if I give off a husband vibe?

every time I approach a girl, she takes it way too serious. For example, the other day this girl asked about my religion and I told her my religion. she said "that's not going to work because I don't practice religion"

at this point I was thinking "bihthc I am not trying to marry you, this is just a physical relationship"

now you might think that was just an excuse to get rid of me, but I have the opposite example too, women taking me too seriously when I am going out with them already. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head now, but I remember the last time I went out with a girl the things she was saying made me think "she is taking this way too seriously"

I don't know if the problem is that I am not clear with my intent or if I give of a marriage vibe or maybe it's just girls' evolutionary nature to take a mate too seriously (because they might get pregnant and have to carry the baby for 9 months and all that)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

practice improv so you can be quick on the draw.
her: 'thats not going to work because i don't practice religion'
you: 'it's ok i don't discriminate'

that one sentence turns what could be seen as her disqualifying you into you qualifying her.

always spin the mood back into playful fun territory and the tests get easier until they're non-existent. if they don't get easier then it gets boring and you feel natural aversion anyway. always playfully push against whatever rule they're trying to set. they want you to overcome their rules and own the playing field, that's what gets them off, not a man that complies and sucks up. if you get a firm or super serious/mean pushback then disengage and she'll probably feel guilty and come back anyway. or she'll disappear because she's insecure/crazy. win win win.
 

"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.
