Curious question, wanted to see how many I could rack up at a time wanted to try for 10.
"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.
What is the most plates you have had at one time?

"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 don't like the term plates, because it indicates that it is hard..... its not hard, you just have to be honest. Women move in and out of my casual dating circle, as I'm sure I move in and out of theirs. Right now I'm seeing 4 women, next week that will change, one I thought was gone has come back... an another I stopped seeing 6 months ago has reached out to me again. The one I've dated the longest has been about a couple of years, the shortest a couple of weeks.
My dating life is pretty normal. Had a women, flake on me Tuesday (happens to all of us...). Have a date tomorrow for the UH v. Tulane game, and another date of Sunday for a bike ride. Met a woman last week, have a date with her next Tuesday.... Met another today, Have a date with her on the 27th. At what point does a women become a 'plate'.... I don't know how to process this.

Four and for about eight months.
Too complicated.

"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.

I got up to seven last summer, although half of them were just fb I'd see every 2-4 weeks or so.
Currently have five. And this is the most I've had. It works well because two of them travel a lot and are only in town a few days a week. Another one is an anti-social pothead and is happy to meet once a week. So it feels more like two.
However, I closed a new girl at lunch today. She is sexier than all my current plates so I might drop one and replace with her... provided she isn't a pain in the ass or a flake.

At one time I had 3 plates I was actively b@nging, and then another 6-7 ill the bull pin. I prefer 1-2 now or a STR or LTR. Getting old I guess.

Got four at the moment and it's quite challenging schedule-wise to keep em all in rotation but fun nonetheless.

"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've had as many as three, but it was too exhausting in more ways than one.
