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.

She's withholding sex in the AM. What to do?

This morning and the last time she shut the pvssy off and wouldn't open her mouth either. She was playful when I pulled her back/wrestled around, but absolutely would not budge. We rocked it during the night like usual and no other variable has changed. Also she's not on her period.

We've been having sex for four weeks and spending one-to-two nights together each week. Usually she's up for several rounds in the morning or at least blowing me if she's in a hurry.

She DID mention something to the tune of "I can't just give you everything you want already," but she's said crap like that before and I did in fact do everything I wanted.

I really enjoy it with her and don't want this withholding crap to become SOP.
 

"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.

Stop spending the night or leave first thing in the morning. She'll get the hint eventually.

Bad sign. I've never had a woman "withhold" sex from me, not once. (EDIT: That is, a woman I'd already had sex with a few times.) 'Course I usually get bored with boning a chick long before she does.

But in any event, there's not enough information. Is she too tired, too sore, preoccupied with other stuff on her mind... ?

Need to find hints as to why she's doing it. If it's some sort of power-play then you've got a long, annoying road ahead of you.

Which is why I always go for the less-manipulative girl, even if she's less attractive. Once I sense any sort of manipulation, I'm out the door.

You should be dating other women as well. Tell me you are dating other women!!

She protests that she has to hurry to work, and to be fair she does then rush with the shower, dressing, eating etc. after she shuts me down.

BUT, I know what time she has to be at work and it's not like it has suddenly changed. Previous mornings she's found 10-20 minutes to make it happen.

Are you still spinning plates? You need to show (not tell) you have other options. Always.

When a woman denies sex, there's an ulterior motive, Briffault's law, or another man.

Case closed.
 

"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.

Not to hijack this thread, but here's a good discussion about "Briffault's law."

Of all the internet boards I've frequented over the years, the Straight Dope forums usually have the best thinkers and highest quality of interactions. They're not great by any means, but they rise above the usual mind-numbingly bad musings of the rest of the 'net.

Maybe she smells of sex afterwards, someone at work mentioned it and she got embarrassed.
There's only so much you can wash off in a 5 minute shower! :)

So, you got some the night before. Why are you complaining? She can't be sucking your d!ck every minute of the day. She probably wants to get to work on time and not have to rush.

Seems to be like she wants a power trip and to have some power over you. If the sex dries up at night then you should be concerned. As long as your getting some then don't complain.

Seems to be like she wants a d1ck. If the beer supply dries up at night then you should be concerned. As long as you're getting the touchdown you might as well go for the extra point.

Fixed that for you.
 

"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.
