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.

the thing with looks is like the icing on the cake by that i mean..


if you have looks + game = you always get the girl you want

if you have just game = you still a girl, but not always the girl you want



p.s.
well i'm not starting a looks discussion, i m just saying .. it has an added bonus .. its not like w/o looks you won't get a girl, its just more in your favor, and you'll get what you want more often than not.
 

"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.

hell yeah that is definitely true. I've seen that just about any girl i want i can get by the end of the night. Having game is good alone, but being good looking and having a nice smile also help out a lot. I get complemented a lot on my smile and have been told i can be a model. Also i think being good looking is also a confidence booster because you know not only is your personality cool your also good looking. My smile always makes me feel good inside i love it.

ROFL if only this would end the debate to the fools who claim looks have no barring in getting attractive women. I guess fools will live there life the way they choose too.
 

"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.

Another thing worth pointing out is girls like hot guys.

more like a horrific revelation depending which side of the coin you fall on.

If you dont have looks..then its a predicament saying 'your not always going to get what you want' even if you try your best but if you did have looks your basically a kid with a 100 dollar bill in a candy store. How nice it'd be to the latter

but of course, i m just a newbie speaking so i can't with definitive that i m right or wrong

:rolleyes: How insightful. Plus the statement "You will always be able to get the girl you want" is absurd and simply not true.

This is my "Dumbass Post of the Week" award nomination.
 

"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.

Guys with looks do have an edge but Ive seen some guys who didn't have the looks pull... They had the bad boy image girls fall for...

Same as all the other looks threads. One bunch of unsuccessful guys can try to blame it on their looks and another group can try to convince themselves there's hope.

The rest of us are out there getting it done.

It's just people trying to make up excuses for their lack of results and their own lack of self-improvement. While you can't exactly change your looks (per se), you can change your muscle definition, your skin tone, and many other things. It just takes a little bit of elbow grease.

I see all the posts that are like this, as one big b!tchfest.

Thread should be closed. Type of post done to death.

I think this guy has some idea about looks, but I think that his statement is off a little.

Being good-looking is a big bonus. You have more girls that are sexually interested in you, so by default they'll be more accepting of you when you approach them and some will be more open to flirting with you since they find you very attractive.

Any guy gets the girl that he wants because he usually has to approach who he's interested in. However, being good-looking can give you more of those girls that you find attractive which you may not have noticed, since they'll be more open to flirting or eye contact.

Good looks are a result of good genes and honestly I would want to be more attractive to the opposite sex. Good looks makes it easier, there's no denying that fact. However, we have to do the best with what we've got. Otherwise, we'll all be alone, pouting on this forum. :crackup:

Then you would be wrong. I'm not a "looks mean everything to women" guy - in fact I believe they are in most cases a minor factor, but being good looking helps rake them in. You need to get out more and stop arguing so much.

The only downside I've seen (and this was with a model level situation) was where some girls would try to CB the guy if he wasn't paying them attention. It usually backfired because the other chicks knew what was going on and that just fanned their flames.
 

"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.
