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.

everyone, me and a number of other members think this would be a good idea for a thread; everyone posts up the mistakes they made during their Don Juan career so that beginning DJs may benefit from them and not make those same mistakes.

alright i'll start off with a couple of my own;

- Being a nice guy, acting like a friend instead of a flirty lover
- Thinking "shes too good for me"

there's a couple more, but...let's hear it from the rest of you!

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Guys, guys, guys, you are being far too easy on yourselves. We need *examples* here. I'll start:

- Telling a girl who said she didn't want to date me until the semester was over that she was "worth waiting for."

- A first date of renting a movie

- For awhile, my dates generally consisted of taking a girl out to eat, and then asking her what she wanted to do.

- Saying "Aw, do you have to go now?" as a girl left my apartment.

- Writing the full solutions to a bunch of homework problems and then giving it to a girl to help her study. Cuz y'know, nothing drives chicks wild like a guy who stays home at night and writes up the answer key to homework problems.
 

"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.

- her today " are you doing anything? "
- me "nope!"
- her tomorrow " are you doing anything? "
- me "nope!"
(never put yourself being always available to her)

- me "here's the music/movie you've asked for, hope you like it!"
(never do things out of sincerity such as small gifts)

- me "no no let me drive, i like to!"
(don't let her ride your back)

- me "it's okay you can bring you friend too, i don't mind"
(very common situations among pre-djs, avoid at all cost)

- me "hey i got a poem i wrote for you"
(never show/hint any feelings towards her)

- me "i guess you're busy i'll let you go"
(never let her feel that your time isn't worth investing"

The real what not to do is wait a whole year thinking aobut a girl and only to never even get the nerves to do the simplest thing as smiling at her when she looks at you, or even talk to her. Then to leave school never haveing talked to her and seeing what could have been. That is the worst thing you could do, cos that way you wouldnt even get a chance to make a mistake.

Yap, it defiently sucked.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

1. not approaching

it's as simple as that, if you are with your friends and feel embarrassed if you approach and a girl blows you out then don't go with your friends.

if you approach AT LEAST you get to talk to her.

if you DONT you get NOTHING.

approach approach approach if you don't you get nothing, be a man and approach goddammit! otherwise girls will think you're a pvssy and not worth talking to. remember if they make eyes with you and you don't approach then they loose too, they are thinking "damn, why did I make eyes with that guy he wont even approach me, why did I choose the wrong one"

don't read it, do it, go to a club/pub/bar on your own or with friends it doesn't matter. Just do it. yes you!

shut down the computer and go to a bar/pub right now!! yes you!! yes really you!! stop it, stop thinking this isn't about you. Stop being a geek and start being a man, Girls want to get with you, yes you!! really they do! don't believe me? I'm not joking! the only guys they get to meet are the weird ones, the ones who can exist outside their body. Their crying out for a real catch like you! if only you would approach when they made eyes at you and prove yourself a man, a warrior. Don't wait for a green light from god, it will never come, a brief flash of the eyes is all you will get. and then their attention will be with someone else. this is your moment, don't worry that she is dancing/talking with someone else, she looked at you! yes you! in the eyes! if only for a second!

Prove to yourself that you are able, the struggle between man and boy is the hardest of them all. hmm to be a boy is to be soo youthful so playful, so nice, to be a man is to be so lonely so hard and cold! no!! to be a man is to be free, to be independent, to make something of everything and enjoy it.

even the best looking guy in the world is nothing unless he approaches, he may as well be the ugliest, don't wait for girls to approach, they wont, their too pvssy, don't be a pvssy. Be attractive have the guts and don't wait.

Live your life like a rock star.

Here is something not to do.
Girl tells you she doesn't want to get involved in anything. You still want her. A month later you end up with her best friend. And in the end you still want her.

Don't try to impress. Girls see right through this.
 

"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.

Know when to push and know when to pull - it should be a song!

It's the balance of attention thing, even in the very beginning. EVERYONE is insecure about how they act and what they're doing and not doing when they REALLY like someone else. Use it to your advantage!

Make sure it's a two-way street with more traffic on her side of the rode in the beginning (if you know she really likes you). If she could take or leave you, then you've got some pushing to do and marketing yourself.

Give her attention, and then poof, you're gone and busy and just don't have time. If she likes you alot, she'll be back :)

So one time I wrote a song about a girl I was hanging out with. It was on my computer screen, and I left for a little while. She ended up coming back up with me when I got home.

She went into my room, and I went to do something else for a minute. I come back and she's reading the song I wrote about her.

Thank god it didn't actually have her name in it, so she didn't actually know it was about her. (which is good because it was NOT a love song.)

Yea, so don't do that.
