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.

I was ordering food the other day and had a 12-15 year old younger Blonde Hb7/8 than me waiting on me. She was nice enough looking and when she asked me my name, I told her it was Prince, which it happens to be. She replied, "Well, I am a Princess.." I responded, " All women think they are princess."

When I came back with that using a straight face, it seemed to have made her computer upstairs go in a direction she is not used to. She was kind of speechless afterwards.

Funny how most women are so used to men feeding their ego and it felt good that I could brush this one off. I am quite particular how I flirt with women and whom I flirt with.

Do not fall into The Princess Mentality. You will feel empowered by not doing so. Oh how experience teaches us to part ways with our past AFC behavior.
 

"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.

Try saying " Prove it to me." if a woman replies like that again.

That is a pretty good response. In this woman's case, I did not even want to dignify her ingrained thought of being a "Princess". Yeah she was nice looking, but since I am a Prince, I outranked her anyways. If I had been into her, I would have engaged more convo with her.

Maybe it's just me, but your response strikes me as kind of cold. Was she clearly flirting/joking? Because if she was, your response (as you said, with a straight face, not smiling) probably came off as mean.

If you were to say "all women are princesses", I would at least have said it with a smile.

Are you serious ? Is your Surname " Prince " . The possibilities and opportunities to exploit that are ENDLESS.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I agree, it sounds to me like she was flirting..she was trying to establish a common connection with you. You could have said your name was John, and she would have come back with knowing a brother, or friend, named John..

Women do that when they flirt with a guy. I doubt she said princess in a condescending entitled attitude.

I would have said something like.."Well then, since we're both royalty, let's roll the red carpet out and go for a cup of coffee/drink when you get off work."

Pssshhh! I'm thinking of using it without my name having to be "Prince".

SHE: What's your name?
ME: Prince.
SHE: Well, I am a Princess..
Me: No, seriously. Call me Prince. All my subjects do. My kingdom is in Atvia. Ever hear of it? We're northwest of Latvia, about 600 kilometers outside of Pretezen. I'm leaving tomorrow to attend the UN summit in New York and I've quite enjoyed my Royal Tour of your lovely city. Here's my card.

Not to be a monday morning keyboard jockey QB, I think you could have fun with the "I'm a princess.." line.

Look at her, slowly, up and down, then look around at all the girls around, then back into her eyes:

"so what makes you stand out from all the other princesses?"

"so in five years, how will I remember YOU from all the other princesses I've met in my life?"

"Does your prince know that you've escaped the castle to wait tables?"

"Why?" (pretty mean)

"So how does one become a princess these days?"

"that's cute. Are you going to a dress up party later?"



etc etc, all delivered with politeness and playfulness

One of the best things about these cheesy comebacks, is that all these naturally and automatically will flow like water without thought once you adopt the "this is my world, and you must qualify to participate" mindset/frame on such a deep level that even though you are superpolite and outwardly appear AFC from a non-knowing observer, people that interact with you will simply KNOW, that you always control your frame

She says," ...I am a princess"

You reply, " Oh yeah, so show me your jewels ."
 

"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.

Hang on folks!!! I was not a Richard Skull about my reply to her. I was pleasant with her during the interaction. Even if she was flirting, I was not feeling it. She was looking down when she said I am a princess with a smirk on her face. I am pretty sure she really thinks of herself as a princess.

If she was flirting, I was not buying what she was selling. As of late, I have been taking a break from women and become better because of it. I am just at a point where I do not feel that I have to have one in my life.
