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.

1.) I am really starting to HATE texting....

2.) Why is it when you text you always gotta struggle on what to text when to text it....Playing games pausing and ****

3.) I am really considering Cancelling unlimited text so I could tell a ***** "Honey, I don't have that unlimited texting bull....so I will have to call you"

4) Why in the hell are people afraid of accepting calls these days?

Some Psycological Bullcrap where back in the day people would Talk on the phone past midnight !!! Now people can't even time conversations on a phone call anymore.....

I QUIT *thinks about violently throwing cellphone across the room*
 

"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.

Keep the texting limited.

Sad reality is most chicks prefer to text over taking calls so the advice to adhere strictly to calling them is null and void these days.

Just avoid long texting sessions, leave things on a high note and always be the one to not respond when it's time to stop after a few messages.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

LOL, hey brother.. I feel your pain.

You have to be pragmatic about these sorts of things. Meaning, ok.. this is life, this is what you deal with, and how do we play this game to get what we want? These are the things you need to approach logically and not emotionaly. Thats all you can do. Hang in there!

And I stress.. do NOT get emotional about it. Thats key.

While you are worrying about what text to send she's screwing the guy who had balls enough to call.

Texting has always been a big part of my seduction game - great for building rapport and sexual tension. It's less imposing than calling so you can turn up the heat more gradually and comfortably, plus you can text and read replies at your convenience.

The dangers of texting, I've started to find, is post-seduction. That's when it's time to keep the texting to a minimum.

Honestly why waste time and effort at texting to game a girl ??

Just call her up and talk, women hide behind curtains and hide their intentions, men have the balls the talk the talk and walk the walk.

I have way better things to do instead of wasting time texting away the minutes.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Texting and being concerned about the appropriateness of calling is all about feeding off feminine energy. It is all about you complying to the female frame.

A man should call without a care in the world. Your desire is to connect with her, to make plans, whatever. Texting is a very female way of doing business. Women hide behind texting because it is yet another tool for them to deflect responsibility.

Having said that, it's also a good idea to set limits on chatting on the phone. Go in with a purpose in mind, accomplish your purpose and get out. Your real work should be done in-person, not on a phone.

Your real work in-person is to cause her to think about you later so she can talk herself into having deep feelings for you. That happens when you're not around.

That exactly the reason I text instead of call. I can send a text in a few seconds, on a train, while I'm in traffic, waiting for friends, but a call takes time.

Plus, I've noticed some girls like to look back over texts, re-read them and think about you. And in many cases, will look back at sexual texts and get themselves off.

When I don't give a f*ck about a girl, I rather text.

When I start to "like" a girl, I rather call.

I just text until she seems comfortable enough to take a call. Isn't it just one of the steps to getting the next meet-up? Text, then call, then meet up and do the real work in person.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Now, I would much rather call a girl, but I disagree with you. All the guys I know that get laid never even call the girl...they just text her all day. I'm serious. To us it seems completely beta, but for some reason it's a lot better than calling.

I've had lots of girls text me right after I call them and ask why I called. Sometimes they tell me to just text them. The problem is that girls text so much that they are UNCOMFORTABLE talking on the phone and having a real conversation. Most, but not all.

Did any of you guys read David DeAngelo's "Double Your Dating?" Remember how he said that when he e-mails a girl before he calls her that there is a much better chance she will meet up for a date? And he also said he couldn't explain why this happened; but he thought that it had something to do with comfort building. Which is true...people say that they feel a stronger connection to people they meet on online dating sites.

Well, it's the same thing with texting. Texting a girl is like e-mailing her. You're warming her up for a future meet up. For this generation of girls (the ones up to about age 30) I think it would be better to text them more than you call them. I am a strict call only guy (maybe two texts a week), but after seeing all these guys who have an "abundance" of women texting all day I have been considering changing my philosophy. These past couple weeks especially I have been thinking about it because I saw about 10 of my friends get iPhones for Christmas, and they spend hours on them now.

I've nailed girls without picking up the phone to call them once. Alas, it's a different generation.
Same here. I guess some people are just more comfortable calling a girl, but I find when I'm spinning 5-10 plates, I can't be calling them all, yet I want to keep them spinning, so I text.

Last year I would swap upto 15 or more texts in a day per girl, many of which I went on to fvck and who ended up obsessing over me. Other girls have been hard work via text, but when we spoke on the phone or met in person there has been amazing chemistry.

I just do what works for me and if calling works for you, then that's the thing to do.

Texting should be used in moderation. Especially if you have never even met up with the girl before. If you already been dating the chick then you can text her a little bit to have her thinking of you because she should be already feeling you. If you have never met up with the girl however your just another dude that blows her phone up. These girls give out their number like candy and when these guys be blowing up their phone with texts they get an ego boost and/or get annoyed. I can see that now because I used to hide behind texting.

Ever since I started picking up that phone and chatting these girls up and giving them that gift of gab I've been damn near perfect in getting these girls to the crib. You can't give no girl no gift of gab over texting.... Same thing with twitter/facebook. These dudes act like their God's gift to ladies on these things but when you see these dudes in person they lamer than a broken chair.

Texting won't do you no good unless the girl is really feeling you.

I love when this debate comes up.

My short and sweet opinion on this is as follows.

Instead of worrying about whether to text or call; work on your game IN PERSON when you are with her. If you get good at THAT, she will be excited to hear from you whether its a text, a call, a carrier pigeon, a message in a bottle etc.

Technology is SUCKING the personality out of modern man.

I have been trying to call more and text less only to find they usually blow off the phone call and return a text. A text is easier to ignore, so women seem to prefer this method of communication. The ultimate endgame is to meet face to face, but you can't do that using telepathy, so if a phone call doesn't work, you have to try the lame text route.

but yeah, dont be like every other guy and resort to texting as a means of communication. If you have to, say less than you need too. This way at least it seems aloof, and not too available. I have already shot myself in the foot being too available and it won't get you anywhere.
 

"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.
