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 Rules" for Women by Women.

"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.

if youre a dj and youre after a girl who follows the rules, is just not going to work out...cause you both will kinda be following the same sort of hard to get game.....
To be honest, I don't have any beef with the rules. I think SOME of the ideas are good (let the man lead) (don't try to change a man). However, I do think MANY of the ideas are deterimental to women. The Rules assumes the men that a woman will date are AFC. The phone games and lack of kino on the first dates can backfire if the man is a PUA.
Additionally, the Rules puts too much focus on the Man part, like Dj_Dork says, and not enough on the woman improving herself. Where are the rules about eating right, exercising, reading? The Rules assumes the woman is ALREADY a prize... PUA's know that this is just not the case...

While some of the stuff is too trivial, like no accepting Saturday dates after Wednesday and 10 minute phone calls, I also have no problem with pretty much anything in there.

I had a debate with my mother and few other people on that book and it stemmed from a friend of mine giving his number to a girl he was interested in.
She believed he should get her number (The Rules)
vs.
He gave her his number and it was her option to call or not call.
I'm favoring the second method as it allows her to make the decision and takes the pressure off her.

“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.

Haha actually it doesn't seem that bad! Except for the "no sex" part, but for the RIGHT girl I could live with that...just as long as we're going by the Clintonian definition of "no sex". 
"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.
