"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.

There are only three reasons a woman will leave a man (according to Jim Wolfe)

1) She never liked you to begin with - She was only interested in dinner, money, concerts, etc.
2) She liked you but you messed up - Examine what went wrong. You lowered her interest somehow.
3) She liked you and you didn't mess up - You chose the wrong girl.

source:
 

"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.

Don't really agree with #2.

The only way a man can "mess up" is by not providing VALUE or by having less VALUE than another man she can attract emotionally. Everything else is just BS excuses women use to leave you that are not usually the true reason. #2 also suggests that its worth compromising yourself to keep a woman who will leave you anyway lol. Waste of time and energy.

I come out of break ups much more at peace when I don't compromise myself in any way.

In a binary sense, though, there are two switches:

a) She didn't like you. (END)
OR
A) She liked you.

if A, then we have:

b) You messed up.
OR
B) You didn't mess up.

(END)

Just curious, can you explain "in any way?"

Good looking 26 year old girl is in love with you and wants to get married but needs a few compromises. You would say no and break up with her?

If you would I am impressed. To be with a young girl seems like it is so so important nowadays. All the guys I know in their 30s would bend over backwards to have a good looking wife to be with and have sex with.

My relationship simply ended because she continued to disrespect me..

Why did she disrespect me? VALUE

She valued money and status...

If you where taking her 3-4 holidays a year, buying her nice jewellery, taking her to the best restaurants..

Do you really think she would disrespect you? Not a fuking chance!
 

"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.

I usually break up with them first. Or I just go ghost. I have extremely low tolerance. If a girl does leave me, I never regret it cause I would never want to be with a woman who is low interest. If I have to work that hard to keep her interested, she was never mine to begin with.

Don't beat yourself up too much. How many women can realisticly get that? In this economy?

It's her loss your value isnt determined by material wealth, no matter what THEY think

Not sure this is true. If anything, buying her things when there is no attraction causes more disrespect.

I spoil girls but only because I'm a total control freak and they are ejected if they don't fulfil their role of ideal woman.

5) You fell out of first place.

You're always competing for a woman even in a relationship. If you're not first, you're last. Analyze your value.

A breakup happens when you fail to beat out her competition or she wanted you in a different role (beta provider) and your values didn't align. The latter is the better outcome, but the former can hurt like hell.

2) She liked you and you messed up.
 

"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.

Of course there is messing up. Try texting your girl 29 straight times and see how much value she perceives.

That's not something I would ever do because its not in my personality. But if a guy were to do that.. he is just revealing his personality. Is revealing your personality "messing up?" Depends on your goals. If you just want sex sure. If you want compatibility there is no such thing as messing up.

If your personality is "stalker", yes, you messed up.

An alpha male takes responsibility ALWAYS. Are you suggesting he take responsibility NEVER??

By the way. A lot of men cheat and the woman stays. Why? VALUE.

"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.
