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 am conversing long with a very attractive women. However, she is two years older than me. Even my friend goes she's very attractive.

She's sending me long messages.

From the messages, it appears that she likes me a lot. At least into me. With share the same hobbies.

I messed up a chance with someone six years younger than me.

I haven't had sex for a long time too.

Nothing has happened yet, I'm thinking of the future. Maybe I am jumping the gun.

I feel I am decent looking, go the gym and have a lot going for me. Finances are decent.

Do you feel I should stick with this one and this one is a viable option?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

38 is knocking on a bit for a woman, especially if you're only 36.

Your question is difficult to answer though without knowing anything else about this woman. Here, I'm thinking of:

Does she have children? Is she a divorcee (perhaps a multiple divorcee)? Does she work? If so, what is her job? Does she have friends? What are they like? Where does she live and with whom? What are her goals and ambitions? What's her lifestyle like more generally?

Thank you for replies guys.

Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I was writing fast.

She has been to university. I know nothing about her past relationship history or her friends. She's into my hobbies.

She doesn't live too far away from me.
 

"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.

Step 1 - Open the app
Step 2 - Say we should meet up. What's your cell?
Step 3 - Get her cell, CALL her.
Step 4 - Chat for a bit, meet up for a drink and apps
Step 5 - See if there is chemistry
Step 6 - Leave her yearning for more.
Step 7 - Go on date 2, somewhere close to your place or her's.
Step 8 - If all goes well, fvck her.
Step 9 - Rinse and repeat if you wish to.

In other words, you both are two 30somethings, behaving as if you're still in middle school. You've got more serious problems than not having had sex in a long time

Nah, he just needs a nut.

She offers it to him but he's a scared little boy.

I recently had a dryspell, and dryspells are devastating to a man's self esteem...because you'll forget how much women love to feck!!


OP gotta man up, a her out IMMEDIATELY and physically escalate asap.

Don't talk about sticking with her yadiya future plans and all that untill you've actually slept with her. For all we know your hesitation is turning her off and boom she's gone. Especially on the apps where the "other" D is ALWAYS around the corner!!

Let me give you some encouragement; if a woman ;
1. Matches with
2. Talks to you
3. Keeps talking to you
4. Want to meet you

You can ASSURE that she wants you. Those are four huge steps and far beyond low interest ( its HIGH interest) .Yet ( and thats why studying game is muy importante ) she is STILL a woman. She gonna need a man who unapologetically takes initiative.

Give us an honest update on this situation ij a couple of days or even WEEKS...

"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.

Sosuave DOES NOT give advice on:

- women over 30
- divorced women
- fat women
- single mothers
- slutty women
- ugly women


A man only needs Sosuave for hot women under 30 who have 0 divorces and 0 kids. Anything else, a man is on his own.

What are your designs for this woman? If you are looking for a serious relations, she's too old for you. Given your age, there should be a 2 in front of that 8. If, however, you are just trying to break a dry spell, then, like @Scaramouche said, try the bread from every oven (lol).

Hi Bokanovsky,
When I was about Stephens age I went on my first Cruise,sharing my cabin with another Guy...After the first day I realised that despite an abundance of Femmes it wasn't going to be easy....Realising I had to score and quick or I would establish a self fulfilling negative mindset....Starting at the female eights I made blatent overtures to the Women I danced,with,just saying things like "Yer know,if you played your cards right,you could end up in my cabin tonight"...Of course the reactions were instant and aggressive,one even trying to slap my face!but as I worked my way down the ranks the reactions became more muted,until one likely Lass replied "Ooh,that would be nice"....Looking back she was ugly as a Robbers Dog,a five in the shade at best,but it was the start I needed and after that, I had better than one Lady a Day and they progressively just got better and better.

Age is a number. If she's pushing your attraction buttons, then get her the fvck off the internet and date her. Just don't expect to be marrying her up. You'll find out what she's really like after 6-12 months of dating her, and she's probably a fvcking disaster. Older women know they're flaming piles of garbage that nobody wants to marry, so they are angels for the first 6-12 months. Young women are less likely to be hiding their true personality.

It's hard to properly assess how attractive woman is basing just on the photos, which you can easily retouch nowadays.

It is possible that 38y old messed with photos a lot or uploaded old photos (anyone who went for a date with a woman that posted her old photos on dating app knows what I am talking about) but you will never know unless you will meet her.

Just don't expect too much, older women really try hard to catch a guy once 40 is just around the corner.
 

"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.
