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.

Back in about 2000 I used to kill time at work by perusing The Rules Boards.. a forum like this one but run by chicks who were trying to implement the rules contained in the book "The Rules."

Most of those forums are gone now, but here's a link to some "classic posts."

Whole bunch of old posts in .doc format:

And here's a .doc file of the book "The Technique of the Love Affair" written by a chick about 80 years ago teaching women how to get guys. It's not as old-fashioned as one might think and it's a fairly charming read.

It's always a wise idea to see what the other side is thinking ;)

Enjoy :flowers:
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
