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.

If feel that people, are threatened, and insecure. Why is this? Is it, because I am too much competition against them. I am too cool?

Also, if I have a big ego, why didn't people mention it. I asked people, if they think I am humble, and they say yes. Also, people never say, I am an ego maniac. People, when they know me, think I am a good guy.
Asking people if they think you are humble is never a good thing. If you were truly humble the thought would not have even crossed your mind. As for peoples response, asking an awkward question like that would naturally lead to a white lie answer.
 

"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.

This thread reeks of low confidence, try to talk less about yourself and how good you are and how bad all people around you are.

Low social skills seems to be your problem m8.

I am a little German.

Crossboss, what country do you hail from? Are you by any chance a native German? I'm just curious because you use commas to introduce every subordinate clause.
I am half-white, mixed white. I am German, Irish, and Danish.

England, baby!
having seen ur profile pic (and being bluntly honest)
id say your reality and every one else's reality may not exactly be matching up.....
 

"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.

Looks

Does my profile picture, show that I am not as good looking, or as I think? Or do I look arrogant?

It's true, not to many people really care what you look like, if you share a connection its way more likely that you can get into convo together..

I agree, to some extent, a lot of the experts in the pick-up world, says looks have very little to do with your success, and say that you don't need looks or money, to get a girl.

** im being honest and construdctive**

coz ur smiling you look friendly and nice
but you are average looking and look a bit "cuddly" i.e. could lose a few pounds (which would also sharpen your jawline out a bit - defo making your face a little more classically 'attractive')

thats my opinion make of it what you want

(almost all guys are "average" coz its soo subjective to individual women's tastes, only maybe 5% are amazing looking, and 5% are really really ugly)

Looks and money will help.

People aren't going to want to start chatting to you just because you're rich and good looking though. Whilst, "I'm here with your friend" is hardly going to get you the cold shoulder!
 

"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.

Well, that clear's it up. Hopefully, I can get a couple of other opinions, on my looks. However, if what you say is true, then the reaction I get from people, is probably normal. The people, who say I look, good, well, they are white lies.

Men can't really judge men...

But (and I mean this in a kind way) you're not in the best of shape.

Do you usually talk about yourself as much as you are here? If so, stop. That would help ALOT. Nothing gets you more friends than being a good listener.

And judging by your pic you look average. If you walk around thinking you are amazing looking you might be acting like you think as much. And people will find that arrogant especially when, unfortunately, it's just not true.

"Talk less listen more." Always sage advice.

but if you got down the gym did it all properly, so low body fat, and good physique, got some good looking clothes, etc...

added to an approachable attitude and a good inner core of confidence (and good "Game") you will do well

"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.

Cinamon & King sam are spot on. *rep for you both.

to OP: We all can use improvement. that being said... lose 15 lbs and it will also chisel out your jawline/face. You have the framework already. not only will you look even better than you are, but your confidence will grow and you will get more women.

Thanks, guys

What do you mean, by my jawline? Is it too, fat? I think, that if I get lean, that should help. What I, don't get, is why a lot of girls, that I have hung out, with, think I have potential.
