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.

i never really liked being in photos and HATED myspace/facebook stuff.

but it seems these days you score on it. i have a few pictures of myself with other girls so it seems i got a good social life. might get some action on facebook if i make one? is it just full of upthemselves ppl .. should i bother making one? everyone seems to use it. the only reason id use it is to get some play.
 

"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.

Why not? Helped me keep in touch with hundreds of women, and it's so much easier to communicate with women you've just met using facebook than straight up getting their number. I guess women have an easier time of knowing what they're getting into if they get to see your facebook (though not that I discourage getting numbers).

i don't know my experiences with facebook and tagged, myspace and such are not very good, but i know some people that have been lucky, its a question of luck maybe. but you should really be interested in hitting girls on the street, malls, etc, just my 2 cents.

I have resisted it totally. I detest the Murdoch Empire for a whole load of reasons that I don't want to get into just now.

I am also concerned about the number of folk I know who have got just too tied-up in it and started making their entire private lives public and wasting hours and hours on it, collected creeps and got to the point where they had to go seriously cold turkey - And then there are the guys who got in trouble with their employers because of their postings.

Oh and I already have another more anon board where I spend time but at least that one has a real social life associated with it. ;)

So when somebody offers me their facebook or says I should look them up/friend them - It is just a simple "Sorry, I don't do Facebook" reply.

I feel like the only guys who actually get laid off of facebook are people who already have a social circle and are pretty popular. What I mean by that is if you do great with the ladies and there's a ton of pictures of you on facebook where you're with hotties everywhere then it helps beef up your status. Otherwise it's not really going to help you get laid, it's just another social networking thing.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Exactly. Just like women can smell confidence a mile away with facebook/myspace they only have to look at your profile and get a sense of what kind of life you live. If you got a great social life and got the pics to prove it showing you at lots of parties with lots of friends/hot women, and cool places you have traveled then sure facebook/myspace will solidify your status with women. If you don't have a great social life, if you haven't done a lot of traveling or just don't have a life then facebook/myspace will only hurt your image with women.

I guess this is where the PUA concept of "being mysterious" comes in. If you are a social person with lots of friends and a life you can show it off but if you aren't a social butterfly you might as well stay mysterious. Do you really want to kill off attraction from women by having them see a profile of yourself if you don't have an exciting or interesting life?

Around here, you're considered "weird" and you won't get laid if you don't have Facebook. I made one just so everyone would stop nagging me about it and so I can see the pictures people are putting on there with me in them, but I never update my status or any of that ****. I don't understand why people put every detail of their lives, thousands of pictures etc. on their profiles, it's creepy.
I am the same way man...if you look at my Info it barely has anything...no way i am putting up if i am single or in a relationship or any of that crap. Also all the pics i have on there are of me and normal pics..no drunk pics or wild crazy pics because potential employers now tend to look at your facebook. I also dont update my status ...maybe once a month i will post something cool that i find on the net.

Some people do this

"Going to dinner"
"Eating at red lobster"
"yummy this fish is good"
"going home to take shower" etc ... very annoying and stupid.
 

"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.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
