"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.

It is generally well known that you need to give the girl(s) that you are seeing the gift of missing you which means allowing plenty of time between dates and not seeing her very often to keep her wanting more.

What I have trouble understanding is why it is beneficial for us guys to see chicks we are dating sparingly while the same girl sees her best friend everyday of every week? Girls can hang out with each other all the time and become closer while it is seemingly opposite when it comes to her dating. I'm just curious, are us guys held up to a higher standard than her own friends? Why does she get sick of guys so easily compared to her girl friends?
 

"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.

Girls can see their girlfriends everyday because they are FRIENDS.

They can talk about their emotions and feelings and get closer with each other.

A guy that does this with a girl will end up as another one of the girl's FRIENDS.

You become to available, needy and clingy and uninteresting when you are seeing the girl everyday.

Don't you have better things to do then spend all of your time with ONE girl?

If you're an interesting person she'll want to see more of you... If you have a full life, full of hobbies and work that you're interested in, she's going to be drawn into your enthusiasm.

Guys try this "gift of missing her" business in an attempt to nurture this, as well as to keep themselves away from getting too clingy too quickly.

But if you're a busy guy, then perhaps you only have a couple days a week to see her.

Are you dating this girl? Are you having sex? Try texting her sexual innuendos during the day, or if you see her on gchat or something start talking sexual.

That'll get her interested in seeing you again, AND she'll start re-arranging her schedule to fit you in more, which will likely mean she'll see her friends less...

you answerd your own question
--------------------

challenge = scarcisty = demand = mystery = romance= uncertainty = thinking about you lots = high interest level in you

I think many of you are misunderstanding as to why I made this post. This isn't relavant to my life and my own behavior per se (For those who are wondering, I am dating and ****ing this chick 1-2 times a week. The rest of my time is spent with school, friends, etc.), but why girls RESPOND a whole lot better from a lack of contact from a "partner" compared to their friends. Why do girls need the gift of missing a man but not a fellow woman? What is the difference? Evolutionary, psychological, no explanation available?

You can be the best **** of her life, but she'll grow to resent you if you **** too many times in the week. It doesn't make any sense when you see her talk to her best friend for 5 hours a day everyday.
 

"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.

Seeing a chick less frequently helps the relationship stay fresh, less opportunities to argue, and more opportunities for you to meet other women.

The moment she becomes the center of your world (i.e. wanting to see her almost every day) you become jealous and needy, and you'll only hurt the relationship.

Relationships require work. Hanging out with friends is free time.
