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.

By annual income I don't mean your hourly rate times 2000. I mean your annual (40 hour) salary, or how much you earned in 2011.

I'm curious how members will compare to the 2011 census numbers.
 

"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.

I'm still looking
If you were to extrapolate my 40 HR a week for this summer, I would land in the 20-39K. I'm lucky considering that this is a paid internship so not bad for a guy who's graduating this fall.
 

"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.

You are in luck because sosuave happens to house a large population of millionaires.

Also you should have asked for men working full time to answer the poll. Many of the >$19,999 are most likely college and high school guys.
 

"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.

I totally anticipated most would be in the 50K range. I would also anticipate some peeps "exaggerating" a bit.

858,000. About 760,000 was in common dividends given to me by the company I work for, family owned. Didn't see it in monetary terms and didn't pay taxes on it myself, the income was deferred to me so the company would pay less taxes.

I'm just waiting to show the tax return to the next girl I date....haha.

this is the internet, so to avoid being a potential hacker target, I'm going to lower my income tenfold... I made roughly $2,544,920,000

My business nets less than $15,000 a year, I'm sleeping on an ex's couch, I spent last year living in my office, and I've banged 11 chicks in the past 12 months. :D
 

"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.

Zarky, what's your experience in the game and what part of Southern California are you in?

Looking for a wing, here. Tried to message/email you, but it says you have them turned off.

Well that's a very kind offer and I'm sure you'd be fun to hang with but first off I generally get most dates online and secondly I'm sure you're looking for women close to your age or even younger, and they're not my forte. I'm sure someone here would be happy to wing w you. I wouldn't advise that most guys adopt the lifestyle I lead ... I don't think it would emotionally satisfy most men.

I'm on pace to make like $15,000 this year, busting my tail for what is essentially minimum wage. Sucks having a liberal arts degree these days.

$220k... Being a regular actor on Australian TV and a soon to be entrepreneur definitely helps! (in every way! ;) )
