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.

On the sosuave.com frontpage there's a little thing which makes a lot of sense. It says that women want a man who will make their life more interesting, and implies that you must do this by having your own interesting life. While I might be arguing over the definition of activity, I don't think that you necessarily need to be socially active to be interesting. What about the possability of a ying-yang relationship? The girl is very outgoing and social and feels that your inactiveness makes her complete. She wants someone to come home and relax with...not just a guy to take her to yet another party or bar.

This is probably the exception to the current rule, but didn't the rule used to be that women wanted comfort out of a relationship, not just excitement? You can generate excitement just between the two of you, it doesn't mean that your own life has to be exciting. Not that it shouldn't be, but to each his own.
 

"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.

While I've seen the premise of "opposites attract" realized in relationships many times, I always laugh to myself when couples start to complain about those very traits of their partner's which are opposite to their own.

women want a guy that doesnt show much interest in her, and acts like he has many other things going on..basically showing that she isnt that important to you. That will make her go CRAZY and make her work hard for your attention. When you show a girl too much attention, it'll make her think you're some loser that has no life..i agree with that article 100%
