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 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 dont think your 'looks' are the main factor per se.
I think you must have some sort of quality in your interactions that is affecting them.
Perhaps you are not confident enough. Passionate enough. Maybe you're too self deprecating? Seeking approval? Easily offended and too 'hurt' by others?
Look too much for acceptance and approval?
Have no passions or hobbies? Maybe you feel unworthy and inadequate?
Do you have a short temper? Ashamed of sexuality?


Im pretty sure what is happening is that you are somehow not conveying much self respect or self esteem to others. Thus, making you an easier target to bully and pick on.

There's a lack of respect here.


Are you offensive, arrogant, and insulting to women? Or Are you a loyal and trustworthy person?

These are things you have to reflect on for yourself.

I dont believe it has anything to do with your appearance.

The World
This entire post is the reason I wrote my book in the first place. Anyway, i'll give you a detailed break down here of what I thought:

Don't take the following as insults to your ego, just learn what you need to change.

- First impression was that you looked like you would fade in the background. That is you don't look dangerous, unique and there's no style that attracts the eye.
- You looked a bit nerdy, not sure what job/field you are into but you need your style definately, so you're on the good path now.
- You seem to be thinning, so get rid of the extra hairs there and shave it all offfff... it looks ridiculous when guys do comb-overs. Shave it to the skull
- You definately need more masculine energy in your body. Even your posture gives away lack of masculinity. You should be hitting the gym ASAP and get 30-40lbs of muscle on yourself. It's not too hard, will take some time but it's totally possible.
- Your clothes don't have any organized style or anything attractive about them. That lose grey t-shirt is about as bad as it can get bro.

Women love colour, they love contrast. This doesn't mean you dress like a fag, but you need to learn to mix and match colours which attract their eyes. Such as blue/white or black/red. Also you gotta buy more fit stuff.

There's a long list of other things I would change but those should get you started for now.

oh.. about the facial hair. try a goattee and a tan, but keep the head shaven. believe me. it may look a bit weird to you, but it looks better to the rest of the world.
 

"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.

I think you look perfectly fine exactly the way you are. Don't get an earring, don't shave your hair off. Absolutely not. In fact when a lot of people see guys with shaved heads the first thought that comes to mind is that they must have been balding and they are self-conscious. It's the classic coverup.

But my one tip would be- dress better.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Imo guys who go to tanning salons are kind of queers. I see a lot of guys with orange skin with highlights in their spiked hair and my first thought is f a g. Get your tan naturally from the sun.

Two most important things for women are height and hair. which unfortunately men can't change. The hair - see a doctor, your height - get ripped but not too ripped.

Everything else look at tv, magazines, movies.

Interesting you mention that. I got a goattee with really short hair.

But, anyways. I think Interceptor and Metaphysical said it well.

Also, I'm 6'2 and like 160lbs. So, Im pretty skinny. Sure, women like "buff" guys. But, even with my skinny body (which I love no matter what) I still pull women.

Remember... Women aren't based on looks like we are with women.

they are. they just don't attach as much importance to looks as men do with women. women always check out guys and comment on if their hot or not. if that guy approaches he'll have an easier time.

Mmm yeah it might be a little hard to get a tan if you live in a place that's overcast and rainy most of the year. My first thought is F A G.
 

"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.
