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 new I've noticed in the Covid era

Women of all ages are wearing perfume again.
It's strange & ironic at the same time because I haven't smelled it on anyone in public since the mid 2000's.
It's like an entire generation of women never wore perfume. They completely stopped wearing it for more than a decade.

With the current mask laws, I think women are trying different and old school strategies to attract men again.

Have you noticed this too?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Having just been stationed in Europe for 2.5 years, and now back in the states, my cologne game is too strong for these women. They are behind the times and basic. Have a great no simp Sunday.

I've never noticed that women stopped wearing perfume. Maybe they learned that they shouldn't cake it on. If you're just out and about in public, you shouldn't really smell someone's perfume unless they have too much on. You can smell it if you're in close quarters or intimate. Maybe with Covid, they're putting extra on so you can smell it through the masks.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I wrote a post a while back about masks and women's value:


@Tilex
There's most certainly something going on. I honestly believe that women are experiencing a bit of a drought when it comes to attention and sex.
