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.

what do you do with nervousness and "sinking stomach" when meeting cute girls?

I have this weird that happens, is when I walk by, have brief interaction like saying hi on the streets, or short talk with a girl that I have never met before, my stomach just sinks and I get nervous. Of course, I get it occasionally when I talk to girls that I kind of know too, but it mostly happens in situations where I randomly come by a cute chick.

What can I do about this? I can think of all sorts of things I could've said to spit game at her, but at that moment, I can say I kind of freeze up and just say "hi---I am good---you have a nice day". What can I do? Reading so many articles and DJ bible doesn't help much. I think of myself "ok looking pal", I can be considered cute to some chicks I think, I have pretty good aesthetic physique, alright face. kind of short, 5'6".
 

"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 believe this is called "approach anxiety" my friend, and it stems from fear of rejection or not being accepted by the woman.
I just recently got over this after months of approaching, and it wasn't easy.

Here's what i did to get over it.
I went out A LOT.
I seriously got rejected sooooo many ****ing times that i just stopped caring about rejection.
I pushed interactions to the point of where they were thoroughly "creeped out" and would tell me to **** off several times.
Honestly, the days that i got blown out the hardest are the ones i learned the most from. I suggest you go out with a buddy that is interested in pickup and try to stay in set as long as possible and plow the **** out of them.

Consider a part time job that puts you in front of attractive girls and forces you to socialize. It will help desensitize you to beauty. Success builds upon success so as you bag more and more girls, hopefully you're learning and your standards rise as well. Eventually beauty won't phase you as much.

I try to act and do as little thinking as possible, if you can have a lot of regular conversations with different kinds of people (young, old, male, female) itll become second nature to just carry on a normal conversation with a hot chick when you're not over thinking and Putting too many thoughts in your head
 

"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.

best reply , and I also laughed at your first point , not in an ironic way , this is the truth and it`s funny , after a while ... you wouldn't care if she will reject you , you`ll learn from your mistakes

OP, search for my "Zero Eye Contact Opener" in the Tips section. I use this often in experimental mode and find myself in all sorts of short conversations with women as a result.

Also, give yourself "permission" to just say hi and make small talk. Make that your only goal. Then when you're sufficiently used to it, raise the bar just a tiny bit and get out there again. Take those baby steps and you'll bypass the part of you that gets anxious.
