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.

Today was my last day of football, I helped some people move and just watched my baseball team.

I keep telling myself I'm too tired to do anything, which may be true today, but I know I'm going to use this in future.

And I only have this weekend and next week before I go to this camp were I play football non-stop for 3 days straight, it sucks.

Right now, It's not like I'm not going out but, when I do i don't see any girls ever around my age. So I want to find somewhere, I'll probably try the mall again later.

I tried to turn in my app for my summer job, but the position was all ready filled. I need to find a new one

Not a great day but eh it's fine
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Great day but I'm exhausted even right now while writing this,

Woke up at noon went to the pool sooner after. While I was at the pool I met an old lady who had lived here for 20 years talked to her, anyway she thought I was in my twenties, until i told her my age. Anyway there is this really cute girl who she told me would bring her to the pool to meet me. I said hi last year to her and found out her name, I didn't give her mine, that was a big deal for me last year.
+ the old lady was interesting. She was nice and is one of those people you know have connections.

Then I went to this trade show thing meant for women, my mom was working there, anyway I practiced on eye contact with some of the girls there I didn't open anyone because it took me awhile to get comfortable there.

I went back to the pool later and the pool attendant who is all ways there, but, I've never talked to her cause she all ways is reading with headphones in. But today I ended up talking to her as we are the only ones there. She's 22 (6 year difference)so I didn't really flirt real heavy, but she did end up talking a lot, I didn't kino cause I was wet and she was dry. My mistake. Her face is ok, but she has a nice body. She told me a lot of info about her past, like surprising a lot, she grew up in a white trash area so that's how she grew up.She told me she hadn't got in trouble recently
Anyway cause the age difference and her history I'm not pursuing her.

Her license suspended, so her mom picked her up and she said something about hoping to see me tomorrow.


So I think it was a pretty good day


Edit:
+ my buddies might be coming over to drink so, probably a good day.

football - driving(lots of driving) - the dentist, face now feels swollen

nothing fun happened today :/
 

"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.

Busy today 2 BUT--

I went to the pool and saw a cute girl. (first one i didn't know in days, so I'm thinkin lets flex those Don Juan muscles and talk to this girl, right?)

NOPE. This time it was bad.... I didn't even talk to her, I'm quite ashamed right now :(
She checked me out when I first got there but I being honest barely even look at her.

My Excuse(s) : She's told old for me(maybe 2-5 years), ear buds in, hat over face(near the end)
*Edit: the excuses I came up with to not talk to her.

**** it. oh well

All right, I've been gone for awhile at a football camp so nothing really significant( some little things happened) or anything except maybe I gained some more confidence,
We kicked last years state runner up team's ass. Some of them are on HGH ( I have some friends on the team and they admitted it. I think that's insane) and they get alot of transfer students, they are all huge and strong as hell.


Anyway I lost 6 pounds got 3 of it back, probably water weight, I'm sore as hell and I'm covered in bruises I need to shave and I'm tired
20 hours of football in about a 50 hour time span

I feel so small and look it, I can't wait to hit the weights and finding some girls again.


After I get some sleep... :D
 

"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.

According to your journal, you haven't had a significant interaction with a girl in over two weeks. Write down the priorities in your life (this journal is a good place) and make sure you're giving proper attention to each one.

Don't get me wrong I've approached a couple girls and talk to quite a few during the 2 weeks just nothing I think that's substantial to write about.


I'm probably not doing this journal right. My excitement for it has kinda died down, with the bootcamp starting I'll try to come back to it.

Same. Bootcamp is very necessary for me, I got laid last week but I don't even count that as progress. Looking forward to meeting new girls.

Right after I posted that one of my friends I haven't seen in a month, calls me up and we head to the pool ( i don't call guys and ask them to hang out really, I just don't)
2 girls were there both use to be into last year, not any more, so it wasn't great until 2 seniors girl showed up. (6 and a 9) I've never talked to either of these girls before today. The 9 has the biggest tits in our school, while being still thin. We ended up just hanging out with the seniors. 9 kept coming over and sitting by me and she initiated kino, and flirting with me. It was funny cause at first, my friend thought she was into him. The seniors kept calling me prince charming, I liked it.
I ended up having to leave before I got her number because I was late to something for my brother and had to hurry out. I doubt I'll see this girl till next school year.
Eh, I'm not really sure if i would consider this significant cause I didn't end up getting her number. Does this make sense in what I was saying earlier? I may have or may not have posted about this.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Today I went to the mall to help me friend get people for a drive. His mom has cancer.

I approached probably about 25 cute girls while I was there, flirted with some but, I wasn't really there for that. So I don't count these plus, my focus wasn't to pick up girls. There were some of the most popular kids in my school there and they were too shy to talk to the cute girls, even when they were just handing out pamphlets!

I didn't have time to do anything else, I have football again in 30 minutes. I wanted a damn nap today.

I'm not counting these for the bootcamp. I don't even know if they qualify.

This shows how situational confidence doesn't help popular kids when they aren't in their good environment. I find this very interesting.

Well done on approaching 25 cute girls. That's a LOT to me, so I'd count them. You don't need to follow the bootcamp word for word. Give yourself good challenges because you seem pretty good already.

@mind - I definitely think it was easier with the pamphlets. And approaching is the only aspect of this I'm good at.

Yesterday - Had football and summer gym was there as well. Some girls I didn't really know called out my name. Eh, after that I went home and took a long over due nap.

Today - Some chores for a couple hours then I called my friends and we went to the mall. I tried to get him to approach girls, he's younger then me but, he's pretty good with women in any other circumstance. So I spent awhile at that until I finally decided I should try an approach because he wanted to leave. I tried everything I could think of to get him to do it. Next time I told him I'd let him drink a little before hand.
1/10 - the only approach today- she was an 8

It was some girl waiting for her friend by the changing room I talked to her for a little over a minute. No number or anything, but I had to show my friend I could approach a girl. His fear and energy kinda rubbed off on me, I wasn't as confident as normal.


I'll make a complete post when I get all 10 in the bootcamp forum later

6/23
Went to the pool talked with the 22 year old for a while, saw some other girls I talked to last summer, but, everyone I know hates her so I didn't even look her way. + she is kind of a *****
I think I said she(the 22yo) was an 8, that's not true. Go down a number or so. She gave me her number and said something about drinking with her but, uhh, I noticed somethings I didn't the first time. It's a no go.


6/24 Tried to go to church, didn't work, saw a girl at the store talked to her for maybe 30 seconds before I saw her parents come in, then I left. I don't know if I'll count this unless I have to.

Today: Had extra long football today, it was ****ing hot. It's like 95 F* and humid as **** outside. So I didn't go anywhere.

Can you guys tell me a good place to find some to do pick ups with, I'm pretty sure everyone I know is ****ing terrible, if not I'll still try to get the guy from last to do it. and Hopefully, I won't find some creep on a site...

Well, it's been awhile since I've used my journal...
I started school and some other things football ect.
Anyway soon I plan on updating this with my schedule and such
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
