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.

Is my thinking illogical or..?

Do girls want sex from guys who have girlfriends? Is that the reason they are hit on so much? If you think about it, a girl who has sex with a "taken" guy wont tell anyone.. unless he's aboslutely stupid. Girls don't want to be known as "sluts" they enjoy casual sex, but don't want to with a guy that will go around telling everyone. So do you think girls hit on guys with girlfiends simply for sex, or because their appeal has come up now that they're taken or..? I've noticed that now I have a gf, I get a lot more female attention.
 

"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.

It could be so. She might be thinking if she can get sex from someone who is taken then it proves to herself that she is attractive.

IDK, prolly something about social value and all that.

Or, perhaps you emit more confidence.

Or, maybe your girlfriend finally made you take a shower(no sorry, that was me.)

You're of course framiler with the phrase "When it rains, it pours." I think this applies many times to after you find yourself with a girlfriend. The cause is likely because you're no longer looking for a companion so alot of the pressure many people have in terms of interacting with the opposite sex have been relived. You now have a companion so you're not really on the hunt anymore. You can go to the bar or club whatever with friends and you're not really looking for a girl to hang out with and it shows. You're relatively calm your smiling having a good time, loose, fun loving, no worries or cares to speak of. Girls can see this on you and are attracted to this because you're not trying too hard to make an impression.

When you talk to girls in this state, you're able to conversate well because you're not focused on getting in her pants, you're just making small talk with some person. Girls are comortable around people like this and this generates intrest and attraction. If one could attain and maintain this state without a girlfriend he'll obviously meet with the same success. This is why we tell people just to go out and have a good time when they're at clubs or bars or lounges instead of focusing so much on how to achieve through strange and sometimes silly tactics and moves while socializing.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That's absolutely right!

However it's actually not always easy to be in this positive state all the time. I'm a pretty laid back and easy going person overall, whether interacting with females or just random people. But there are times, you would feel the need and be actively on the "hunt", you can't just fake yourself into believing that you are not actively looking. And this would show no matter how well you try to hide it.

That's what I believe as well.
However for the woman, it's actually proving to herself that she can get sex from someone who's taken that gets her off, instead of the sexual act itself.

Very well put. A man who isn't acting from desperation of forcing a hook-up is a definite attraction to women. :up:
