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.

Something I've noticed recently..if you're a single guy w/ a job right now living on your own you should be noticing an uptick in female attention. I certainly have. And it's super random stuff too. I'll get it just driving through my neighborhood when I'm stopped at a red light or when I'm pumping gas.

Anyone else notice this?

My point is if you're a guy on this forum who doesn't feel good about himself in regards to women/dating BUT you have your own place and job..you need to ease up on yourself. Those two things alone would put you in the top 20% right now. Seriously.
 

"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've noticed just the opposite.

My success on OLD is worse than ever, and wearing a mask hides my handsome features.

I told another poster this via PM, but I'm pretty sure the pandemic funneled many more men into a market that was already heavily skewed in favor of women.

Since this sh1t started, I get basically the same amount of interest I always did, but none of them follow through.

I have no other explanation.

Around my area, women are getting super flirty with random dudes they encounter, but from what I understand they're lashing out and being argumentative with their husbands and boyfriends at home. That's what all my colleagues, friends, family and coworkers have been telling me.

I don't know if having a job and having your own place is a factor, because these women know nothing about myself or these guys they're approaching, but they're going out of their way to be flirtatious.

But as a caveat, just because they're flirting doesn't necessarily mean they want to jump in bed right away.

I suspect it might just be a case of cabin fever since nightlife is non-existent and they just want to feel the power trip they derive by giving guys false hope......

They're having c0ck-tease withdrawals
 

"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.
