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 think of as successful?

Over the summer I developed a plan along with my buddy to determine whether or not we were successful with women. We decided that hooking up with 1 out of every 3 girls you got a number from was a decent rate, likening it to the very good batting average of .333 in baseball.

It's been about 5 months since I held that standard to myself and I am closer to .750, so either my initial idea of success with women was a huge underestimation or I've been getting really lucky.

What do you guys think is a good ratio?
 

"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.

Once you get their number then they are interested - 2 out of 3 is good - 3 out of 4 is better!
 

"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.

I think the numbers are pretty solid. Where are u hooking up with these girls.? I notice that when I go clubbing out of 7 numbers I might go all the way with one. So I guess my average would be a 143. Which isn't good but isn't terrible either for going all the way. :rockon:

typical said:
Nah unless you've bonked her then thats still a missed chance, till then your unsuccessful.

I agree with that. Or at least get a bj or a knobjob.... I guess that would count also. If that counts my average will be slightly higher.
