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.

Lots of chump hit on this girl etc. and get her head really big. I think she's aight. Now she's expressing lots of frustration because I refuse to be manipulated by her into treating her like a little helpless princess.

Have any of you been hitting on an egotistical chick like this and run into this barrier where you can't qualify her because she doesn't know how to qualify herself like a normal person?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Yeah. It's kind of a "Challenge meets Challenge" situation.

The girl kind of ends up wanting you just because you're one of the few guys who isn't bowing down to her. And you want her because she's of high status in her own way.

Yuuup! This is how my last LTR started. She actually said to me once: "you don't flood me with compliments or kiss my ass like other guys I've dated, so when you do say something or you're nice to me it feels great" with a huge smile on my face. I think I got some action while I was driving after that...anyway, I'm going off on a tangent, haha. You get the idea. Don't kiss-->:moon:

Reward her good behavior with things she likes. Just like you'd reward a little girl after she did her chores or finished her quiz with an "A" in school. When asked " hey, can we hangout tomorrow? Come over to my house" I'd say: "only if you behave" or " what's in it for me?" And then she'd offer to cook for me or give me an unforgetable night, or respond with " I'll behaaave, I'll behave! what time should I expect you?."

Thank you Jesus for the DJ knowledge!!!
 

"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.

Have you ever actually tried this in an LTR?

Because this gets old and goofy after 2 weeks. Its too much effort to keep up playful and challenging replies every time. Rewarding when she does good things is the same thing. You need to ignore more than you reward or else it will get old for both of you fast.

A lot of that guy's suggestions tend to be on the goofy side. Sounds a bit canned, doesn't it?

Isn't that the whole point of this, to have fun?

It's not easy but it isn't rocket science. I did it for 2 1/2 years with my ex gf and it worked like a charm. You have to do it once in a while because if you do it too much it'll lose its value. They like it when you're different.

You can try kissing azz though and see how that goes for you, but this works great for me!
