If a girl thinks you're a "catch" she'll play mind games like "hard to get" acting aloof, etc hoping to boost your interest.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
True or False and why
- Thread starter tryst type
- Start date
"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.
Do you mean "thinks " or "say's" your a catch?
If she thought it but didn't say it how would you know?
I have had a few over the years who say it, and it's just a sure sign to say she's interested in you, the ball is now in your court.

"Thinks" I ask this question because I've noticed from time to time some girls will make you work for their time (which I never do anymore) and I was recently told by a guy friend that it's because the girl is really interested but wants to make sure you're not a player?
This friend is decent with girls but not part of this community so was curious if what he says has some truth.
I just figured these girls just liked being chased as an ego boost and thus I avoid falling into it.

In my experience a girl who thinks you are a catch won't play mind-games like ignoring texts/calls, flaking, mixed messages, etc. She might make herself seem busy and make sex wait, but will always be clear in communication. She will help you push the interaction. It will be effortless since being a catch implies that you are seen as something valuable.
If you're getting games then she has some prior baggage, is getting bad advice, or is just plain inexperienced.

"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.

I think at first he'd get none then she'd play games after to keep him lured in. I've seen this happen when a girl is trying to keep a guy around for the long run.Lexington said:

Three basic answers to this question.
1) She wants a new orbiter.
2) She was testing to stroke her ego, nothing more.
3) She's interested, but has no confidence.
Show some interest back, then let her chase you. If she doesn't, find one that will for this one was not that interested or will likely end up being high maintenance.

Would she play games with Brad Pitt? I don't think so.
Women who are interested in you won't confuse you. They won't throw out mixed signals and play games.
TWISI, it could be a power grab so that she has control.
Women are strange, aren't they?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Women know a "catch" has lots of options. She won't risk losing him or turning him off by playing silly games. At least in the early stages.
Women don't play games until they have somewhat of a solid spot in a relationship (real or perceived). Once she has some level of solid ground, she will push for more power and control. This is when the games start.
So in the early stages --> NO GAMES
Once she has some power.. she will use games to get more. If getting more is not possible, she will feel rejected. Some women will keep chasing and some wont. However, if she manages to get all the power she wants, she will lose interest.
All together, there is no avoiding relationship drama with women if you want to keep them interested. The only thing that works long-term is the roller-coaster relationship --> Giver her power temporarily, then take it away. And repeat this over and over for the duration of the relationship.
All roller-coaster relationships don't have to be highly dramatic. It just depends on the woman. With some women there won't be much drama and it will just be a mild power struggle over petty stuff. Just depends.

PlayHerMan I agree. I'm starting to think as I look back on the early stages ones who play these games that they're shy or haven't really emotionally disconnected from a prior relationship/interest.
I find some girls like to keep a guy chasing for their amusement, I can admit in retrospective I was probably showing too much interest too early even if I was my playful teasing self.
