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.

Now I understand sometimes texting is necessary as a dating tool, however I have had several experiences I would like to share with you, and maybe you will learn from other mistakes :)

My first text disaster (or shall I say theirs?) was a cute guy I met walking down my street. He did well, got my number and text me later that evening to ask when we were hooking up. Being a busy lady I replied 'I'll check my diary and let you know, speak soon'. Almost immediately he said 'I'm sure you can fit me in' which annoyed me, I already said I'd check my diary. He persisted all through the night to the point where I advised him he was desperate and scary. He still texts me now even though I don't reply.

The second occurrence was a guy who I'd been chasing for some time, we started meeting each other and it was going well until one night I wanted to have some space on my own. The boy text me about 20 times that night and I had to tell him to stop texting, and every day he'd ask 'when am I gonna see you then'. I would deliberately avoid the question and say something else and count the times he asked. 6 times in 15 minutes. This guy was a typical AFC, mentioning marriage after a few days, telling my mate he loved me and whenever I was quiet for more than a second he'd say 'alright?' (often 6 times in half an hour) or if I didn't want to kiss him he'd start saying 'aren't I good enough for you?' so one day I happened to say no. He is currently harrassing another poor girl.

Third occasion is somewhat like the first.

I'm sure all you DJs out here can help men like the above with tips such as wait a good 15 minutes before replying (or more) and don't appear over-eager?
 

"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.

Nah, the more AFCs in this world, the better if you ask me - less competition!

Well, if you don't want to help anyone out (and stop them texting me incessantly) then that shows more about you than it does for anyone else. And I certainly would not persist in asking someone to see me if they didn't respond. Ask once, that is all.
 

"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.

Oh I don't know, from recent threads there seem to be plenty of members here who would do well to observe, from a woman's perspective, how over-texting and smothering lead to a dramatic loss of interest.

Well..you seem to attract these types of guys on a consistant basis, so maybe you should also take a look at yourself and see what kind of signals YOU are giving...

Seems like everyone you meet is a lovesick, freaky weirdo...

"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.

Calm down lads. A chick is free to post here.

It's a tip we all know ( there's problems if you DIDN'T KNOW THIS ! ).

This is just an example of how women will view you if smother them.

Like Jim Carrey would say :
" LAHU - ZEHER "
