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'm freaking done with women. They are all the same other than some have big b00bs and some have little ones.

Gf is 41. Two days ago was two year anniversary. I told her happy anniversary in person twice. She posted to my FB and I replied. But I didn't post to hers and she is all wigged out now. Been fighting for two days. Tonight she pulled out the "you are mentally abusive" card . what is behind that when you get called mentally abusive?
 

"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.

You could join the priesthood sure. Or you could just remove yourself from fagbook and being a pawn for this woman's reality altogether.

The million dollar question is why is this a more important question to you than what the next ingredients of your sandwich will be? Don't get sucked in to chick world mate, it's not a healthy place to be for a man. I know I know, easier said than done. But it can be done.

Killed the FB. Just trying to understand her allegations in her hurricane in her head called a brain.

A sh!t test or a slow night on the zombiebox perhaps. Either way I wouldn't worry too much, just go ghost for a bit. Come back with some strange perfume or something.

Why are you dating women your own age? Your target age range should be 23-33.
 

"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.

She's still on the Facebook thing? Damn, man. Perhaps she's using it as an excuse for a big fight, to accuse you of something horrid, as a prelude to break up. Definitely start thinking long term solution. This is not the way a 41 yr old mature woman should act. That's the mind of a fücking spoiled teenager.

Hers face is embedded in FB like Washington's face on Mount Rushmore. Even her dad has got on her about it and posted logical man responses to some of her emotional goon babble.

i can assure you she was going absolutely insane trying to figure out why you didnt post happy anniversary on her timeline or w/e.

as

she probably felt "emotionally neglected" by this and is accusing you of mental abuse for putting her hamster into overdrive to "figure this out".
This makes perfect sense.
 

"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.

That's what I was thinking too. She seems like a monkey (woman) who is about to branch swing. Women definitely seem to trump up some supposedly horrid thing(s) you did just before they break up with you. I could be wrong in this situation, but in that case she's just crazy.

Dear Leftie,
Now if you span plates,you wouldn't be thinking of joining the French Foreign Legion would you?....No you would simply enjoy a couple of quiet evenings,then a bunch of flowers and behave as though nothing had ever happened!

good point. Are you suggesting I get her flowers? Sh!t I have not bought flowers for a chick sense 2007.
 

"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.

We are supposed to go out of town this weekend and I don't even want to go, but unfortunately we have both comitted to going and will disappoint a mutual friend if we don't.

So I told her we would make a list of things in writing that I didn't want her to do, and a list of thing she doesn't want me to do. My #1 is "no b!tching about ANYTHING in the past", but there are others too.

If either one of us breaks the deal, we have to give the other $5.00 on the spot, NO EXCEPTIONS..

Hopefully this will get me through the trip piecefully. Then afterward gonna reevaluate and go NC for a while while I sort my thoughts.

A 41 year old on FarceBook? Making drama out of it? And then calling you mentally abusive?


Let me give you a tip: Unless you are a complete pr!ck, 9/10 times when a girl says that to you SHE is the one who is a fvcking nutbag trying to gaslight her issues onto you. She is not an asset to you life, just a thorn.

Women are a mess man, you really can't take these things seriously. It's hard because they are important to us, but most of the time they are really reacting from a point of weakness, fear and insecurity. This is why they respond so seemingly drastically, because to them this is the same as a slap in the face.

If you understand women you know to correct this in the proper arena.

You spend that weekend hanging out with your buddies, N/C. Monday you send her a huge bouquet to work. You know she's gonna post it on FB and all your problems solved and you could have hung out with your buddies with no stress. That following weekend ask her out maybe even not, who cares? Her emotional needs have been met. I bet she wouldn't even care.

Bradd and Colossus are spot on. When a woman wants to draw your attention away from the fact that she has done, is doing or is about to do something disrespectful to you, she'll often outrageously accuse YOU of doing something disrespectful to HER.

Be aware, my friend...

A Catholic priest and a rabbi are walking down the street one day when they see a pair of angelic-looking 12-year-old boys playing football in the park.

The priest turns to the rabbi, nudges him in the ribs and says:

"I tell you what; let's go and screw those boys"

The rabbi looked at him curiously and answered:

"Out of what?"
 

"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.
