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.
Intorversion - (SERIOUSLY) help me make it a plus to get women!

- Start date
"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.

Thats very wrong attitude because sometimes they try to start a conversation!!!!
Sometimes they give me a tone of "Why aren't you with the rest? Retarded?" and then I ignore them but sometimes they use it to get close to me.
Explaining what introvert means is just boring and not a good opening conversations.
I can't think of anything to say besides "I just like to chill by myself sometimes"
"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.

1) I'm tiredsexxyback said:'letting my mind rest a bit' won't work. sounds like you have psych problems or something.
2) Not feeling well
3) I have a headache
4) Pretend like you're fumbling through your pcokets and say something like "I'm trying to remember where I put my _____" (i.e. mp3 player, ID, usb key/memory stick, camera, etc)
How about one of those for deflecting that question?
Well, help me out then. How about "Waiting for you to stop by and talk to me"sexxyback said:'letting my mind rest a bit' won't work. sounds like you have psych problems or something.

Very negative... except for the last one. But when I sit down, I sit down for 15 minutes or so.

an Introverts tendency to think BEFORE they talk can be a great advantage. go for quality, not quantity of words. and on a date, do something that doesnt require much talking, like an action date, movie, or games.
On a personal note, I AM working at becoming more social, but I also enjoy quiet time alone to reflect and unwind
Still concerned about the reply to "Why are you alone? Why are you sad?"
What do I tell my FRIENDS? I would be in a bar and all of a sudden "Dude, are you OK man? You don't look like you are having a good time!" and I am!
For the same token, Extroverts have to work harder when dealing with their partner in a one-on-one situation as every intimate relationship must have.Babnik said:This is perfect what you said. Introverts have to WORK at social events, while extroverts ENJOY social events and get energy boost from them. Introverts use up their powers during social events.
Here is the thing...an "extrovert" type personallity might get you noticed in a social event by some women. But an "introverted" type personallity (please, do NOT confuse this with shyness) might get that same woman, once she gets to know you, interested for a longer period of time.
My point is...BOTH have trade off. One is not better than the other.
You don't have to explain anything about your personallity.Babnik said:Thats very wrong attitude because sometimes they try to start a conversation!!!!

Simply work on your mannerisms...so they look confident and collective and calm.
Bad approach. Sending negativity is not a good approach.TillTheEndOfTime said:1) I'm tired

What about? "Hey, I'm good..." and then continue with the conversation.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

If this situation is a constant problem, I don't think introversion is even the real issue here. It is either one of two things: your friends are "too social" or you're a little anti-social at times. Personally, I am laid back, but still social. So if my friends were party animals, there would be a clash because I just can't be as enthusiastic as a party animal, it is not in me to do it.Babnik said:bump!

What do I tell my FRIENDS? I would be in a bar and all of a sudden "Dude, are you OK man? You don't look like you are having a good time!" and I am!
Something doesn't seem right if your friends have to ask you that question so much. Can you give more details/examples?

Don't worry about explaining yourself...as you are now sounding VERY insecure.
The fact that women are approaching you when you are "alone" is a PLUS. Do you realize how many of these guys that post in here would give ANYTHING to have at least one woman approach them in life?
And you are concerned about some canned answer to your "predicament"? This is unreal!
What about simply working on your mannerisms and once that one or two women approach you (note: from a group, now they are only one or two which put them in YOUR element...YOUR advantage), then instead of giving them an explanation or some cheesy canned answer...why not simply smile and change to topic?
Woman: "Why are you doing alone? You look so sad?"
You: {Smile} "Hi. Sad?" {laugh} "Hey, ain't you a friend of ____?" (or "Don't you work with/in ____?")
If you smile when a woman approach you...you can rest assure that they will NEVER ask you if you are sad. If you stand with confidence...you can rest assure that if the approach you is because they want to strike conversation with you.
I mean...how many time a man approaches a woman as ask her the same STUPID question? "Why are you so alone?" or "Why are you so sad?"

I agree.
And it might have to be with body language. That's my guess. A body language of a young man going through depression.
Using movies as an example. James Bond sits in a Casino. Does he look like a person that is talking to a bunch of people, etc? Nope. Typically the "bad" guy is the extroverted one. James Bond tends to be quite and observant and low profile and calm and collective. He draws attention, because his body language (and looks) as well as his masculinity brings that on him.
Now...he is an introverted. But he is a very good one as he is great seducing women in a ONE-on-ONE situation.

We are in a bar. I start talking for myabe 15 minutes, getting to knew guys and girls, interesting conversation. Someone else picks up the conversations an dI stand listening and slowly enter my own thoughts and brain and sit down and just think about things. Because I am not standing like the rest and talking NON-STOP - I look a bit out of place and sad (just neutral facial expression).
"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.
