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.

So I sat next to her yesterday.

So I manned up and sat next to her in class. I decided to dress up for my presentation. She smilled when she sat down and kinda giggled about me dressing up today for the presentation. We talked some during class.

After class I walked out to her car with her. I started to get nervous though and kinda freezing up and I know she could tell. I mentioned how we texted a lot and wanting to talk to her more. She seemed kinda shy too, and then she asked about my Camaro and mentioned how she drove a "old persons" car.

I know I should have asked her if she wanted to drive my car, but didn't think of it and was too nervous.



I just sent her a text asking if she wants to drive my car after next class.

Its mixed signals because she smiled a lot and seemed shy when talking to me after class also
 

"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.

You've got some learning to do if you think letting a chick drive your camaro is gonna get you laid--in fact, if anything, it will work against you because you're already letting her dominate you and give in to her demands in hopes to get laid. This conveys lack of selection of other women and clinginess.

Not good.

Dude this isn't going anywhere. for the love god your so desperate its pathetic. I think honestly guys we should let him learn the hard way. Thats all im saying he obviously not getting that this girl not into him. If a woman is really into you. You won't have to work so hard just get a freaking phone call or a date from her. LET HER GO
 

"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'd never let a girl drive my car ever. Your trying to hard to impress her. She should be the one impressing you.

For the love of everything holy, do not let her drive your car.

As AJ said... the script is flipped here. Withdraw your interest, stop texting her. Stop going out of your way to talk to and impress her. Be polite when you see her and don't act like you're purposely ignoring her. This is your only shot in hell. Let her come to you a little bit.

Once you get the oneitis thing, you have already lost. If you are actually hoping to get with her, better fix the mind set, stop thinking about her and never ever get oneitis again. The longer you keep this going, the less respect for yourself is being cultivated, and you become more of a liability to her. She is gonna hate you for that sooner or later. Other women is the solution! Take a couple weeks and read the bible, soke up all the wisdom.

Or just other hobbies / doing sh1t w/ friends. I caught myself in oneitis a few times. IDK why I think it has something to do w/ my addictive personality possibly too IDK. When I do something I do it balls out. Could just be a coincidence though.

I have successfully recovered from oneitis before and reestablished my respect, but it wasn't easy at all.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Hah, I wrote a long post in your last thread about how you can recover from this. You ignored it completely and then posted THIS thread??

I think you are probably just trolling, so for now I'm gonna sit back and enjoy watching what you come up with. The character is so hopeless it's funny

OP, I really hope you take these responses seriously. These guys aren't coming on here to screw you over. They are trying to help you. And they are right.

From what I can see so far, you have not done anything correctly. I'm sorry, but it's true. My honest opinion is that you need to let this one go.

Plus, if she likes attention, you all of the sudden showing absolutely no interest in her (no texting, no initiating convos) is going to get her wondering what happened. She may even approach you, trying to figure it out. **

And if she doesn't, no big deal, because you are no longer focusing on her. Let her go, man. Find someone that likes you enough that they find a way to spend time with you. Not someone that uses lack of time as a reason to not chill with you.

**Don't use the possibility of her coming to you as the reason to stop contacting her. Think of it as a possible bonus of doing the right thing in this situation.

And if she comes back looking for you it's all for the wrong reasons. She needs to be validated or ego-stroked, not because there is genuine interest.

"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.
