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.

Felt confident today and well to cut to the crap...

Walking from the lounge of my school to leave for the day, I see a group of 4 guys, 2 girls and one of the girls a solid HB9AznMix (she was hardcore). The guys looked like losers to me, the 'kiss-arse' types that the girls just wanted for attention....

I notice them, catch eyes with the HB9 briefly (nothing serious, no AI) and walk right up to the group and politely but confidently say...

ME: *To Guys talking* Excuse me fellas *directing my attention at HB*
THEM: *Quiet looking at each other*
ME: I'm actually running late, but you seem to be my type and I don't let opportunities to meet beautiful women go by... i'm cod3r
HER: *stuttering* i i i'm...
ME: I've got to run, do you have a cell # ?

*Guys aren't saying ANYTHING, just kinda sitting there trying to ignore me. ONe guy is smirking like he can't believe i'm doing this in front of them*

HER: I *stuttering over words* umm have a boyfriend...

*At this point I knew I invoked the 'conditioned response' (as i call it) and really had no interest in spending anymore time, as I'd accomplished my mission already by approaching a girl in a group of guys*

ME: That's too bad, maybe i'll see you around campus sometime.
ME: *To group of guys* Sorry again fellas, continue... *walk out*

--
I felt so powerful after that, I was on a high for about 3 hours lol. Just shows that most guys and most girls will respect any showing of 'balls' aka testicles. Eventho she gave me the 'boyfriend' line, she definitely respected me and if I had any real interest or intention next time I seen her, it'd be too easy

"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.

Ever tried saying Hi first and having a LITTLE conversation maybe?
Works like a charm...

"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.

Cod3r, how come you have a girl you say you love, yet you are doing these things?? :( ... seems pretty messed up..

oh and another thing.... Well... i felt really guilty when i had a crush on another girl, who i was talking to every day while being with my current gf who i love... so i stopped talking to the other girl... it felt very akward to go from one girl to the next like nothing had ever happened. I dont see how you can put a 100% and love into a relationship when u are thinking and being attractive to other women.. maybe thats my problem?

Much respect.

And you're right, people do respond to overwhelming confidence and leader behaviour, even in absurd situations. The bigger the group, the less likely anyone will do anything to disrupt the peace. Had you done this to a table of 1 guy and 1 girl it might not have went so smoothly.

Most people (myself included) would sit and ponder all the things that could happen, when in fact, the simplest yet least predicted result actually happened.

Feels great being in control of your feelings and your actions, isn't it?

I had no intention on pursuing young man, just a test of confidence. Tks for your concern tho, I'm sure my gf would appreciate it and hey so do i !

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I don't get you Cod3r. You diss the site, then you do the approaches as the site recommends. I'm just confused.
