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.

"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.

So there's nothing to actually learn (other than things like being able to hold eye contact which will only need to be 'learnt' if you have some pretty advanced autism)

"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.
everyone defines 'game' differently nowadays.
Can you explain this? How does a guy “turn on the charm” and “put the time in?”
You said before you were 6’1. A shorter guy would have to have a lot of stacked paper and a lot of game to even begin to compete with you.

Tonight at dinner there was tons of hot chicks working at the restaurant I'd say ages 16 to 22. Of course I was checking them out. They were HB9s too. I'd totally plow that. Well if legal age of course. Then here I am trying to get 42 year old high end HBs.Mainly you imagine it in your head and then post what you think should be happening in your life on SS
Men 35-40 are about at their peak in the eyes of most women. Nearly all pin ups are of this age and always have been. Where was brad pit and clooney et al at 22?
18-23 is still just too young if you’re 38. It looks stupid. They are literally like children mentally.
About 15 years is about max I’d say. I did actually go on a date with a 21 yo when I was 36 and after hearing her for a bit I decided I just couldn’t hack it. How could I invest any time in her when she’s on about gap tearing and her mates who are literally bedroom DJs and finishing exams?
My wife’s 11 years younger and I went out with her friends and felt a total douche. The club was all kids and I felt stupid trying to dad dance with them.
Remember how you viewed the random 38 year old sniffing around your girl mates when young? People used to laugh at them as creeps. If you’re really hot property (and I’m talking millionaire and look a lot younger) then good for you. For most men in late 30s, 25 is about right. Younger, say, 20, is a struggle for all concerned.
Sure for ONS type stuff, good good.

There's no "wall" for men.
At my 35+ years old age I am a most confident, a most accomplished, a most successful, a most resourceful, a most dangerous man in my life.
Why would a girl chose some loser who's 10 times dumber, 10 times sloppier, and making 10 times less than me?
Only if I wouldn't be able to present myself and get past her shyness.
Moreover, 18-23 years old girls do not know how to use make up yet, don't know how to behave, and they're are approaching their prime at 23-25 years. So 18-23 group is EASIER if you know how to game them. Past 25 -- their beauty and psyche starts to decline, as worthy ones get in LTR, and unworthy ones (psychological problems, overweight etc.).
18-23 is EASIER.
Just figure out how to game them.

wow, this is hollywood though, not normal people here, they have bookoos of money and can not lift a finger or think normally - too many distractions or errant ways
I can honestly say that I've aged well up until my early 40s, but of course, it's all downhill from here. I had a bud growing up who's aged well too and is somewhat of a celebrity in the Catholic church, a surprise to me cause he grew up Protestant in my school that his grandfather was president of. He is on shows and heavily involved, met the pope, lived in Rome a couple of years. His good looks took him far, not to mention his multiple degrees, and huge reading appetite since birth, very knowledgeable, all his hair intact (mine too).

Receipts or it never happened. Oh, yes, I've posted my receipts in the past.. Until one of them found their pics on SS.
"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.

RickTheToad is quite similar to RichardTheFrog, isnt it?

Yea, you got it. That's me, Richardthefrog. Me, my hookers, bionic penis and my lambo. Geez Mr. Wood, you're amazing with your detective skills. Maybe you should ask the mods to change your name to Inspector Gadget. Considering all my posts are basically stirring away from hookers, STDs and materialism, I think calling me Richardthefrog is a bit of a stretch. However, I think even in Scandinavia there is some level of freedom of speech and expression; regardless if it's correct or incorrect.

How’s your hair?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
