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.

Just wanted to share this with you guys.

"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.

I think J's taken to surfing these boards while high.
 

"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.

Heh, figured I'd get something like that from you, Jester. Not exactly the most levelheaded person I've seen on these boards. I'm just wondering if there's anyone that doesn't do that with AIM conversations.... Even when I was the lamest AFC alive I managed that much.

He's got a point, that chat is nothing special...

My friend sent me his chat with his 1 week girlfriend that's 13 and he's 15. Abso****inglutly hilarious. AFC at it's best. Things like "Love is blind so I must be too". Laff.

Wow, Jester. You're right. I never thought about it that way before. I mean, God, you're just so damn convincing....

Too bad some 54 year old's the best you can get, Het.

:) I would never, ever, say "hizzouse" but that's just a matter of preference, I suppose.

We all need to lighten up... you guys are becoming very critical...

Jester: You need a kick in the ass. Of the type you give me every now and then, man.

Relax.

As far as the chat... it's irrelevant... I'm not fond of talking to ladies online, anyway.

wtf? ballistik youre just a retard.

lilreksam and smooth, i already said it didnt mean sh1t before i said anything else. So why do you try criticize something that has already been stated? that would probably confuse most people as to why a person would do that.

Shut up please. Thank you.


Jester, I'm not sure what the point was about the conversation because its basically how i talk all the time. But this is a great help for idiots who whine like a retard who always says "I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!!! :(!!!".


____Words to others
Its really easy to start a convo. Its the person's fault for not listening to you, not you. You just have to stop with the questions and you need to be sure what you are saying. When I mean you have to know what you are saying, you have to get a certain feeling or emotion.


You need to sound concerned and be a jerk all at the same time. You can be nice but not all the time. Just because we say don't mean a nice guy does not mean you don't become nice at all. When we say these words, we mean it with more details. I act like a jerk to my friends but then I still show that I care and that I'm not a moron who has no feelings.


Respect, belief, trust.
 

"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
