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 if this all goes well and Dave marries this woman and has kids, does that mean we will see the last of his posting?

BTW, Dave's talked a lot about what age does to a woman, has he thought about what pregnancy does to them?
"My wife is turning 50 but her skin doesn't look like a 20 year old like I predicted. Should I find a woman who is at my level? I'm a 0.000001% male and I think I can do better."
 

"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.

I think she's gonna like him initially and within 3 dates (definitely before sex) he's gonna screw it up or disqualify her because he saw 1 gray hair or something
More like she's going to disqualify him after he struggles with her bra for 20mins then gives up and just pulls it up around her neck lol

nah I'm sure we'll get along great in real life

we're very attracted to each other physically and seem to be very similar personality wise

I'm not worried
Probably shouldn't talk about it till u hit it. You need to be out of analysis mode.

As funny as those predictions may seem, they are based in Dave's reality. The one hope I have is the woman occupies his time so he has less inclination to post crap on this forum. But alas that is a bridge to far. I have no doubt Dave will muck this up somehow, I mean really his ego couldn't stand someone being prettier than he imagines himself to be. But rest assured it won't be his fault in ANY way.
 

"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.

she cancelled on me after texting me all week and telling me like 3 times she's excited to see me

Weird, oh well, back on the horse
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

What did she say exactly?

See this is why we were all jesting you for already imagining having kids with her. This is so typical of us men, one smile from a woman and we start planning retirement with her.

I agree, best to keep chit chat to a bare minimal because a lot of women in OLD are simply looking for attention, they don't intend to meet you unless they genuinely like you. You can't know if they do until they meet you, and then fvck you.

she said she has too much going on and right now is not a good time to go on dates

she gave me her number quickly and agreed to a date quickly. She texted me yesterday that she's looking forward to seeing me, what the hell changed in 24 hours?

"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.

You see you can't do that. Man needs to have sex.

Translation...there's another guy...maybe her ex.

Keep hunting...
that's what I was thinking too

I need to get new pics done to do OLD. My 3 pics rated between a 6 to 7.6 on photofeeler. I need to get some pics that rate around 9/10.

Cold approaching in real life is incredibly hard

Its incredibly easy. You Say hello to women whove given a strong IOI. Small talk. Ask them to text you . Move onto the next.

I know, I already admitted that I want to meet someone so badly that I find myself falling very fast

The weird thing is she texted me 18 hours ago that she was very excited to see me. What changes in a day?
 

"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.
