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.

L+S+G= W

Looks + Social Proof + Game = Women

Rate yourself in each area and prioritize where you should be focusing your improvement efforts. I guarantee you that if you are above average in each category you will pull ~50% of chicks out there.

Obviously my formula is subjective and a bit vague, but a good point of reference if you are in a slump and have no idea why you aren't attracting women.

If you have no clue where you stand in each 3 areas, establish some benchmarks:

For looks, ask your friends and random people (preferably girls) to objectively rate you and take the average.

For social proof, I would count the number of qualityfriends you hang out with at least once a month. (no fat, video-game playing losers)

Game can be measured by success rate of sarging. i.e. ratio of numbers/approaches, dates/numbers, f*cks/dates, or whatever based on your goals.

You can create your own metrics you wish to work with, and get as granular as you want, but this gives you a general starting point on the path to becoming the MAN (not that stupid new Samuel L. Jackson movie)
 

"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.

personal game is missing? Self-improvement has so much more to do with improving yourself in every aspect of your life. It is important that you do this. Otherwise women just prove as validation and that isn't self-improvement, that is AFC-ism in reverse.

Improve yourself before improving your stable of women. Better for you to do this because it is much easier. 75% of women you will be able to pickup if you improve yourself.

Either lower your standards or up your standards inside yourself. I chose the latter instead of the former. What will you choose?

That didn't make much sense, but here's my response:

Are you saying I am missing "inner game"? Game in this little formula includes inner game. Going out and meeting women, gettting numbers/dates, etc... gives you the confidence to be comfortable in any situation, which allows you to control your emotions better.

What I mean is that you need to improve yourself, not just with women, but in every aspect of your life. You should become a much better and more rounded individual. When you do this, you will gain confidence in many other areas of your life. If you improve just on women alone then it will not get you anything but women. Women will eventually dry up but you are forever. Don't forget that.
 

"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.
