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.

How do you know when your becoming confident? What I tried to do when I was really struggling with girls was come on this site every day and read at least one tip, that means in one year you get 365 new weapons in your arsenal! I bet you can think of something you are really good at and feel at ease doing it. I wonder if you could actually emulate that confidence in everything you do or a least just when you talk to women. One thing that I feel helped me become more confident was taking up the sport of Thai Boxing, I never really took it up for that reason, I just wanted to get really fit find a new hobby and if someone told me a year and a half ago that by now I would have stepped in a ring and had a fight infront of 100s of people I would said their mad. When I first stepped into my Muay Thai class I felt sorta embarrised because I had no idea what to do and everyone else seemed to be doing really well at it. Now after doing it for just over a year I actually have people asking me for tips. Its the same with women, the more I talk to them, the better I get at it, its fun! I decided to write this post because I was really bored, hope this helps someone.
 

"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.

how do you know when your becoming confident
When you aren't questioning why you are doing something, or questioning the potential outcome of doing something.

It's like driving a car, when you aren't asking if you should make this turn, instead, you know you can or can't make the turn. It's not a matter of balls or being ****y, because you'll be on the receiving end of a car crash.

Instead, confidence is deprived from knowing what you are doing, knowing where and what to do at the right times and even when you mess up anyways. Like, starting to doing something like that turn and you go "Crap! I shouldn't of turned!", you have the knowledge to speed up or hammer the brakes.

Or, Experience + Control of the Situation = Confidence

Simple and sweet, what I just said is the reason why people confuse grabbing your balls and confidence.

just stare in the mirror and when you find you are saying to yourself... "Damn, that is one hot guy..." you know you have it.
 

"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.

Confidence is when you are attuned with yourself and not being pre-occupied thinking about how others may negatively perceive you.
