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.

I've sorta tried this in the past and often I receive the "I don't give my number out that easy" or "why can't we talk through here"

The most success I've had was when I was able to get her on the telephone. I haven't really met too many girls through just messaging on POF alone.... I'd be curious to here stories of this
Then she's given you your answer. Not saying that you're wrong... but my experiences are the chicks that give you resistance about wanting to meet in person aren't going to meet you anyway. There is nothing you can say or do to get her in person. She is online for beta-orbiters. Accept it and move on to the next.

Online dating is ruthlessly efficient. Put your feeler out to every girl you could stick your wang in, then move the interactions forward with those who respond. Resistance means she isn't worth your time. Even when you get lucky and get her on the phone, she usually ends up being a waste of time (flakey, etc).
 

"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.

An important question about an earlier part of this thread...concerning paying so much for dates and no return.
Is it acceptable to go Dutch on a date?
After all, you both are just meeting to get to know each other better. Not like you're dating or married...
I'd seriously like an answer here, as it makes total sense to me. But I'll be hitting the game in a few months and I want to know what to expect, but I think it should be kept in perspective.

No, don't go dutch. You come across as cheap when you do that. Just specify "drinks only" when you meet for the first date. That shouldn't run you more than $40. If that is too much for your wallet, you should work in raising your income before exploring the game.

If things go well, you shouldn't have to go out more than twice - once to get drinks, and one dinner + activity date. After that she will usually be open to going dutch, taking YOU out, or coming over your place to make dinner (which she should be doing by that point).

Going dutch can only hurt you when you first meet a woman. It's not the classy way to start off an interaction.

The reality is that A LOT of women have no intentions of doing anything with a guy, but will use up his free date, free meal and free drinks.

Spend more time on the telephone with a woman to determine if there's a high chance that she's going to fvck you. If she is going to fvck you, you usually can get her to come over to your place or you come to her place. After you fvck her, then look at doing dates.

I disagree with the notion of, "Well, it's only $40 and if you can't spend that you shouldn't be in the field," that makes no damn sense. Spend money on women who are going to provide sex and companionship benefits, women that aren't going to provide any of said benefits should not have 10 cents wasted on them.

Hell, $40 is either a full tank of gas or a tank and a half of gas. You work hard for every nickel that you make, so if you are going to spend money on a chick make sure there's value being provided in the form of sex and companionship.

After all, sex and companionship are pretty much the ONLY remaining value that women have left.

Do you go Dutch because of principle (others') or poverty?

I pay, always .. because I want to.

I lead (in however I elect to); she defers. Any attempted break in the preceding sentence, she's out.
 

"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.

...because of principle. You don't know each other, therefore I think of a date as two people in the same boat, therefore they should share the initial date cost. I'm not being cheap, but knowing fem mentality these days I can certainly see that response.

So what? It's one date. That's a sunk cost. It's part of the game. Write it off.

Spend more time on the telephone with a woman to determine if there's a high chance that she's going to fvck you. If she is going to fvck you, you usually can get her to come over to your place or you come to her place. After you fvck her, then look at doing dates.
The time I spend on the telephone I can be spending in person actually trying to **** her.

It's an unrealistic proposition to expect women to provide sex and companionship with someone they just met, especially online. Sure it can happen... but usually it does not in the first hour of meeting someone.

It's manners, and a good take away from sales. Are you going to invite your client somewhere and tell them to go dutch? Good luck with that. Rapport is important. $40 is not a lot of money. If you can't invest $40 in an opportunity, you're too cheap to win the game.

Keep in mind... a woman that actually agrees to meet a potential psycho from the internet has some interest. She has to be extra ****ed up to waste her own time like that, given how many options women have on dating apps.

No. You are the leader. Lead. You aren't helping your case by going dutch. You can only hurt it.
