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.

10:00 p.m. - Place starts getting packed; women everywhere

10:30 p.m. - Guys glance around like they're looking for their friends (in reality they're drooling over the girls they're too afraid to go up to).

11:00 p.m. - No change, except everyone's dancing.

12:00 a.m. - Still dancing, some guys "accidently" bump into a girl, hoping to trigger a conversation; fails miserably.

12:45 a.m. - Place starts thinning, HB's slowly departing.

1:00 a.m. - Guys make a mad dash for the bar, hoping to suck down what little liquid courage they might have left.

1:15 a.m. - Fail

1:30 a.m. - HB's are long gone.

1:40 a.m. - Lights on

2:00 a.m. - Sausagefest
 

"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.

It's a sausagefest by like 12.30 normally. A women 6 or below might as well not count, hehe.
Post made me smile anyway.
 

"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.

As funny as it seems fellas, I'd be lying if I told you it didn't happen to me... we've all been there. Even those tall guys who are dressed good and might appear to have social proof -- they're just as much of a coward as the next guy. They all sit around hoping for something to happen, and it never does. Your mind just plays tricks on you because the place is packed and it seems like guys are running game. They're not. They might attempt to spark a conversation when going back and getting a drink -- but as soon as they get one, it's back to the table with their buddies, or the dart board, or the pool table. It's just so busy most people don't realize it.

As much as it pains me to say it... wingmen are a distraction. Yes, you and your friend have the intention of going out and pulling some hotties... but what ends up happening? Really? You guys end up shooting the sh!t, talking about sports, think to yourselves "we have all the time in the world" and then before you know it the sudden realization of those lights turning on hits you harder than a Randy Johnson fastball. You guys then stumble back to your car along with every other guy who had the intention of getting some tail.

Throw them a curve and make things interesting.

TRUTH.

So what's the moral of the story?

If you lack skills or looks or whatever to an extent that it bothers you, and you don't have any such buddies to roll with, then given the fact that your mind is just playing tricks on you, you should just don't give a fvck. But that's hard now isn't it. You can't really think up reality, when the outside reality is always fvcking with you. But this is where it gets challenging, and I guess that's The Game.

Yeah, same sh!t here. My buddies always want to go out in order to pick up chicks, and what happens? We end up in a sh!t bar, with sh!t loud music. Nobody has the balls to start convos with chicks, and we can´t talk because we don´t hear each other... yeah, loud music. Having some expensive drinks, going home, hangover, repeat. But the funny thing is, when I go out (sometimes alone) just for some good music and dancing (I like rock), I end up chatting with strangers, flirting with girls and having big time. I think because I´m there for having fun and not for playing some GAME I can´t. Maybe I should go for numbers or something, only to improve my skills (I´m in a LTR at the moment).

In my experience, unless you have a great wingman or are really good at opening sets, you're going to strike out routinely at the bar.

Most people standing around that you describe (and really, I fall into this category) are waiting for a HB that isn't surrounded by her friends. You've got better odds breaking into Fort Knox than finding that, though.

I don't agree with your assessment. While it may be true that most guys don't get to hook up with girls on the first night, I distinctly remember inviting groups of girls to go with my friends and I to eat after the club, or to afterparties, or in my case-- to rich guys houses to do private photoshoots.

This is not to say that the average guy has this ability, but it IS possible because I do it ALL the time. In fact, I just did it last night... here is a pic of the girls I invited:




Now, before you say something stupid like "Hey, they're not all hot!"...yeah, I know that already and I don't care. BTW-- the 6'2" blonde was sort of intimidating.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I dunno about 10:00 the bar starts to get packed? he'll in university a lot of us are still pre drinking and dont make it to bars till around 11-11:30. Personally I do pretty well in bars/clubs my line that always works is "this is my first time here, is it usually this packed (or dead)" and then kinda just shoot the s*** from there works for me, mind you Im really good at talking off the top of my head.

where I live the bars don't get packed any earlier than 11:30 unless there's some sort of show going on (but those are special occasions). But the rest of it seems spot on, lol.
 

"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.

Am I correct in my observation?!
None of the girls smelled like they smoked, they were all sales/executive chics...about the cursing, not any more than any other girl I've seen.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
welcome to a mans life when the is a shortage of females... and keep in mind the all those HBs you saw there are already Fing at least 3 or 4 guys each ..lol its a mess and when the desperate lonely men leave they head to street walker areas strip clubs or any other place they can exchange cash for female attention or some defer to their homosexuality..lol
 

"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.
