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.

So as some of us can attest to AFC behavior of the past was not always just with woman. I know that I used to supplicate to most people actually. I wasnt balless completely but I sure was not the man I am emerging to be. I like this MUCH better now though. Considering yourself an Alpha male and carrying yourself in that way is far more productive and effective. One of the concepts here that I HAVE internalized well. Meaning, I don’t just know it, I OWN it.

So the question is. If you are introduced to the father of a girl you are seeing what’s the action and frame to handle this in?

Normally, I would address him as sir, shake hands, and possibly ask a question or two about the surroundings or situation. HOWEVER, I want to make sure I do not come off as a kiss a$$! I am a man in my 30s now. Making my own way in this world. She is a woman, independent as well.

How should a father be handled? Alpha still? or Lose the edge and bow a bit?
Sir? Mr. Last name?

Was I raised right or does this need to be adjusted?

I would love to hear what the older gentleman have to say here, especially those with daughters in their 20s.
 

"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.

Good question...my take on the issue is that I lose all mystery and excitement once I befriend the Dad and the Mom loves me. Women love to parade me in front of Mom and Dad ASAP. I don't really see any other way though.

I think relationship with the parents should be respectable and courteous at first. As you date the girl for an extended period of time, they essentially become your "friends" and you can loosen up a bit on all the "sir" and "mam" stuff.
