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.

Anyone ever have had this happen? I walked in to a bar, it's a neighborhood bar and has a pool table. I walked to the back towards the pool table. Two people were playing and one woman was off to the side with a stick, I asked her who got next and she responded it's doubles. I said cool, she didn't have a partner so I ended up being her partner. During my shot she looked at me and was like i don't like you and shook her head. I was thinking about how I didn't even know her at all. Did I remind her of an ex? Was my personality too intimidating? We ended up loosing the partners game.

Question is...why did she say this? I asked because I might need too make an adjustment/refinement for myself, screw her. Just curious what could have triggered that response from her, it was random as hell?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"I don't like you too."

"The feeling is mutual."

"Ugly women usually feel that way about me."

"Okay."

I'm thinking we missed some of the dialog and/or body language.

Note, the sentence "I don't like you" contains the subsentence "I like you". So she might have actually been attracted.

But if someone tells you they don't like you, believe them.

Obviously you weren't intimidating as she told you to your face that she didn't like you.

You weren't completely "random" as you interjected yourself into the festivities of her group.

"Well I like me and that's the ONLY opinion that matters".....with a smile on your face of course.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She was a random bittch who was looking to pick a fight with a guy, probably because she was dumped and single and missed arguing with a guy on a regular basis. Why do certain chicks pick fights? Why does the rooster crow? It's just in them.

Random girl " i don't like you." Trying to pick a fight.

You. Shrugs shoulders. "Sorry sweety i'm already spoken for. This is just pool." Spread grin across your face.

No way to tell unless I saw her body language. She could have been drunk... drunk chicks can be pretty stupid.

My experience is that normally when stuff like this happens out of nowhere she's attracted to you at some level, she might have had a BF and wanted to toss out an insult just to make sure you don't try and game her. It's how chicks filter out dudes.

The best way to respond to stuff like this is to joke about it.

Her: "I don't like you!"
Me: "Awe... and here I was thinking we were going to run off to Vegas tonight to get married"

Then see what happens, otherwise smile and ignore her.

Agree with @bigneil. It usually means they DO like you. This has happen to me countless times.

"Good...I'm only interested in pretty women. Glad to know I won't have another stalker!"
 

"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.

Always read their sub-sentences and pay attention to what words they use. Their words and sub-sentences reveal what they really think.

My last relationship ended suddenly, with one last conversation. In hindsight, the language she chose was very positive.

(Suspecting things weren't right, I told her we should just be friends and she wrote)
"Neil... I'm in love with someone else..." (this contains the sub-sentence "Neil I love")
"I would love to still do modeling with you...but the dynamic would need to be very different." ("I would love to still do you" and "I love you")

(I said congratulations on her new love and that we should meet one last time so I could give her her portfolio, and she replied)
"Thank you, I would love that. I'm just so happy that you've been a part of my life and I want to make it up to you in any way that I can" ("you I love" and "I want to make you")
"Ok I'll meet you today at 3. I still have a heart next to your name in my phone. See you soon, love" ("I'll meet you today" and "I still (heart) you")

(When she tried to reschedule, I said no, and I said goodbye and her last words were)
"I was only trying to reschedule because you said I could. Let me know if you change your mind." ("you and I" and "reschedule me and you")

Notice how she used the word love many times, a heart, and uses both of our pronouns? In hindsight, I can see that she still had strong feelings for me at the end. I still needed to walk away, but I don't have any bad feelings toward her. It's like when your grandmother drops dead you think "thank God she didn't end up in a wheelchair for years".

Dominance. The pool girl actually liked it. Probably said it because you were not like all the other guys she usually meets..…
Probably short circuited her regular bar game so she spouted that krap.

I would have shot back with either
  • "I usually have that effect on lesbians"
  • "You're just saying that so we can have awesome hate sex"
 

"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.

"Okay..." then look at her and make her feel uncomfortable.

Then continue doing whatever you were doing. Sounds like a bad attempt at flirting. Every woman who has said this to me has slept with me.
