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.

They say to be good with women you need to have a great life. What are some things we can do everyday so that we can improve our lifestyle?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

have fun and enjoy yourself without a woman first. Some will sense your positive, independent vibe and beg to aboard for the ride :cool: That is the main priority considering that any deviations from that will show insecurity and desperateness and ironically hurt your chances with all women.

Other things that might help. Upping your physique (workout more). Learn a trade. etc. You never want to do these things solely for the opposite sex though... Women are attracted to aggression and confidence, nuff said!

Make goals and stick to them.
Don't neglect friends and family.
Be reliable and flexible.
Express your freaky/dorky side.

I like the first 3.

Expressing your freaky dorky side however...I would caution against that as people always interpret that stuff the wrong way.

I will also say that women see dorky quirky guys as friends, the guys who act more serious and have a witty sense of humor tend to create attraction much better.

I did like your post though.
 

"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.

what about conversation skills? I am sure every woman wants a man with great conversation skills. I am sure improving my conversation skills will upgrade my lifestyle.

A women wants a man with great conversation skills to be her friend.

A women wants a man who talks like an alpha male to be her lover.

Distinct difference.

not always true. How exactly do you talk like an "alpha," and how long can one continue to portray that role. Not every conversation is meant to be "alpha". Is being alpha being an introvert who negs everyone he happens to encounter? Have fun being a social pariah if that's the fate you choose!

I don't even... Also you're flat out generalizing. I know some very social guys with women flocking all over them. Bottom line is if you have that "swagger" and meet her looks threshold, you're in!

I believe you are the one who is generalizing. Being an alpha male is not a portrayal of a role. It is the essence of ones self.

Being an alpha male isnt about being introverted or extroverted, it is what words one chooses to say an how they say them. It is also about your swagger as you have stated.

By the way negative comments as you stated in your generalization of the alpha persona is actually a very beta male trait.

One can be an introverted or extroverted person who doesnt come accross like a dominant man.

One can also be either an introverted or extroverted person who DOES come accross like a dominant man.

No social Pariah's to be seen here.

Also the OP was asking about ways to improve his life, not get caught up in this discussion we are now having.

The buck stops here, I shall comment on this no further.

At some point you're going to have to show that side if you have one. And I'm assuming most guys on this board not only have one but have it in spades. We're on a message board talking to strangers about our problems afterall.

Anyway, unless you're going for one night stands in the club constantly there is no need to keep up the detached alpha presence. If you work with the woman or are in her presence for a long period of time it becomes too much effort. While being socially savvy is one of my key tenants to having success with women, having fun is the other. Showing your dork side is essentially the best way to have fun since it is pretty much you unencumbered. If you do it at the right times (when you two are alone, or with kids, or with old people, etc.) not only will you attract women but you will attract the right kind of women.

Edit: Besides isn't alpha the essence of one's self. If being one's self is having a dork side (and again, we ALL do) then the alpha thing would be to show it off and enjoy it.
 

"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.
