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.

Okay so Ive been working myself lately and even released my own video game!

Oh well lets talk about girls. I go for tutions and even there I find no one super hot but just 7 at max. At school max rating I would give would be 6... Whomever I find hotter than that are always older and I find them at places where I cant flirt as I dont know cold approaching..and almost every girl already has boyfriend.

And thats why I ask if I should lower my standards or not?

Also can someone tell me why girls show so much attitude when you talk to them...?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

For your 2nd question, because their self entitled biatches.
For your first question, I wouldn't lower my standards, depends on what you want though, a relationship or a Bj/se*. For me, it depends on what I want.

Yeah girls are really weird...
Anyways, in my city nothing happens without being in a rrlationship, so even for a kiss that I wish to have..and then eventually sex isnt going to happen without getting in relationship.

if you don't want to be single and no one meets your standards then you'll need to lower them

I'd have to see how you're approaching these girls. If you're getting constant attitude, then you're probably doing something wrong. Typical advice would say don't stand for it, laugh it off, joke it off, and let them know you're not going to be pushed around. This is basic human interaction. Attractive girls are hit on all day and night. If you're just like every other guy and a little bit weird, you will get attitude most of the time. It is their natural response, especially when in groups.

But more than likely you're a little bit awkward and probably don't know how to interract with women. And that's fine. You'll learn. You're young and have plenty of time - this is how you figure it all out.

Always work on yourself. Learn to be critical. It's not that you need to 'lower' your standards, but you need to look at yourself, and have a real think about how you are being perceived by the girls you are attracted to. If it doesn't quite 'fit', then you have work to do. It's tough in school. The attractive girls have a lot of options. Just focus on working on yourself - hitting the gym, becoming a really solid individual. This is your time to spin your wheels, the girls will come, believe me.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Oho! Dont mind but its nothing like you are thinking. My life doesnt revolve around girls, I believe in money. Money and adventures in life is what my life shall revolve around and thatsehy I had stopped writing my daily journal because I didnt have much to tell about girls but only the things I was working on. I posted this journal because I thought I should have this experience in my life as well but as side task and money and graphics being the main. I really dont want to leave high school without having a kiss... And its jolly hard to have in my city or at least the part where I live.

And me being awkward, I dont know... Whenever I show my interest in a girl they show attitude which annoyes me and I just stop giving even a bit of attention to them. Although iy moght be true that I might be weird because I start conversations in a weird manner. Like a while ago I started convo with a girl I thought looked okay:
Me: oh you stole my specs!
She smiled and said something like spectacles arent nothing and she just steals hearts and looke away. That reply made me laugh but her body language just made me angry.

Whereas when I am friends with a girl they dont show attitude and I just keep making fun of them infront of them. So just chill :p

I really dont have many girls as friends because I believe in talking to only those girls that I like.

I am weird, I know

Maybe you should learn to cold approach before lowering your standards

Yes, and don't lower your standards. When I was in middle school the one girl that liked me was maybe a 6. Everyone told me to ask her out, and I didn't and everyone thought I was crazy.

3 years later I ****ed Miss Teen Delaware. Story over.

Great then! I shall learn cold approaching! However you guys have to help me. I always wonder what to say, should I just compliment? If so, about what? I dont think complimenting her top would really make sense... So yeah what to start with? Where shall I go to approach and how to act? Chill and be normal?

Are you kidding me? NEVER lower your standards. Always go for the best because we as DJ's deserve the best. :trouble:
If the best girl there is a 6-7 then go for her. If the best girl there is a 5 or lower then PRACTICE on her. Who knows, they might actually be able to knock your socks off.

The simple fact that you are trying to "Pick up women" is probably what's turning them off. Pick up Artists pick up women, DJ's INTERACT with them. Striking up a conversation just to be social will wield more success than trying to "Flirt" or "Pick up women."

Unless she flirts first, and even then it should be minimal on your part, men don't just flirt.
 

"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.

We have a lot of work to do...

Do a few hours of research online, hell even try approaching, and then come back with questions
