"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.

We have all heard how women test because it's neccessary. Well guys, it's gotten the same for us. Is there a list? Or if not, we should use this thread.
 

"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.

I reckon tests we run are more individualistic.

Example of what I do:

I will ask them what they do in there spare time and then branch off to if they go to lots of parties and act like I don't mind and see if they drink.. If i hear lots of parties and alcohol.. Only will use the girl no chance of LTR.

What do you do to qualify your women?

Yes but a girl can lie just like a guy can.

I was thinking more of tests the way girls do.

But yea - all those questions are good examples to screen with.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Qualification is all the testing you need, if she is attracted to you she is going to try and say what you want to hear when qualifying her. Another great one that I seen my lesbo friend do is TD's Elastic snapback effect she did it naturally though and the effect was great.

Exactly. You need to put her in a situation where you can judge by her actions and not her words what her intentions are.

I suppose I don't have any specific ones because I don't know what kind of girl I'm looking for, just what I'm not looking for :)

I do remember using them in the past but they're very specific.

Remember that late night talk show with Craig Kilborn? (the show sucked, I know)

He would play this game called "5 questions" where he'd ask five totally random questions to his guest.

Well I came up with five totally random questions of my own that I sometimes ask chicks I meet. I picked questions that reveal their personality and help me qualify them as a possible LTR or not. They think it is just a cute game - they have know idea they are telling me deep things about they peceive the world.

Example: I would ask, "What is your dream job?" , "If you could travel anywhere in the world for free, where would you go?" , "Would you rather live in the mountains or on the beach?" , "Where do you shop for clothes?" , "What is your favorite shot at a bar?"

Don't laugh, that could be the very thing that's slowing you down. Only knowing what you don't like will keep you on the look out for those very things. If you have no idea what qualities you do like, how will you know if you come across a woman with those traits? Who's to say that you haven't already met one but you were so focused on her faults that you overlooked the good traits which may have outweighed the bad ones.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

if you have the correct mindset, and ur not doing anything AFC; you'll automatically pass her tests.

if you're secure in who you are; you wont have any problem disagreeing with something she says, or sharing something you like that she doesnt like, or vice versa.

and if you believe you're the prize, and just try to have a conversation without any concious thought about tests (yours or hers), and always subtly convey that you hold yourself in very high regard; she'll automatically qualify herself to you.

From what I see around me there is a much higher percentage of woman who live exciting and adventurous lives compared with men, not only is this true, but also 70% of the guys only desire to be with the top 30% of the hottest girls, I don't think that the HB7-8-9-10's need any particular guy to make their lives better, they have many options if you think about it. :D

Sh!t.

Whatever happened to 'Never listen to what a b!tch says, but what she does'?

I never ask qualifying question to b!tches, but rather put them in situations where they have to qualify trough their actions.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Tests basically revolve around being able to read body language. 99% of the time this will tell you everything you need to know although some girls are easier to read than others. If a girl gives closed body language don't give up hope as this may mean she is nervous rather than not interested.

Talking about sh*t tests they pull on us? These are tests that I use on women. Pretty much what they use on us:

1) Change plans at the last minute. Whatever she wants to do, tell her you'd rather do something else.
2) Flake. Call her (new girl) 20 minutes after you were supposed to show and say something came up. I usually tell her I'll make it up to her. Sometimes do, sometimes don't
3) Find out her opinion on something, give opposite viewpoint & then watch to see if she rationalizes or changes her opinion to match mine.
4) Flirt with other women. See if she gets uptight or stays cool.
Expect special treatment. See if she is willing to do things for you.

I pretty much use those. Not all with the same girl and not all in a short period of time.

I qualify through conversation. For a long term relationship, I find out indirectly if they would be responsive to my sort of off the wall humor, active lifestyle, and intelligence. Do they like working out? who knows...ask them what they do in their free time. Do they like going out? ask them what they did with friends on the weekend. Simple open ended questions can answer alot if they are the right questions asked at the right time.

I think Francisco d'Anconia hit something on the head.
The necessity to know what exactly your looking for in a chick.

Maybe once you figure that out... the elements of how to test for such qualities will just come to you naturally.

Example...
I like open-minded chicks. So I'll often tell a little story, a dream, or some wile abstract idea/perspective, and then ask her a question about how she feels about it. Anything to get a take on her. Naturally whatever response she gives to such a scenario is going to express how open her mind is to such "openess"... lol

Another good thing I like about chicks is generosity.
I like a generous chick. So simple things, as in... does she offer me sh!t. A drink, a ride, a call to go to a party, a massage, anything. I'll just be looking for this quality in her behaivor.

So back to the point... fig. out what you like and want in a girl, and I think many of the perfect "sh!t tests" will come to you naturally.
