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's the worst you've ever been rejected by a chick you actually liked? Have you ever seen her again and did anything change about her as in you were glad you never wound up with the chick?
 

"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.

Yeah, for some reason girls that drop me, get all skanky afterwards. It's nasty, and a huge turnoff. Might be, God's vengeance, I suppose. Don't mess with the Lord's servant!!! Payback is a b!tch!

I got into provider frame. Meeting and entertaining her for long time. During the party she could not decide between her many options and picked to fvck married guy. Objectively speaking it was for the better. After this I googled for "pick up". Found "The Game" and I am on the improvement path. I wish such thing happened many years earlier. It was catalyst for improvement.

Like 20 years ago? ICE WATER IN THE VEINS, BROTHER.

I had a failed engagement last year. That was really rough on me, but I've been improving myself every single day since it happened. Not really a "rejection" scenario, but applicable enough for this thread, I guess. I will come out better from it, and I have no interest in seeing her ever again.

I was with this girl for about 9 months and she broke up with me for another dude. That fizzled and we got back together. One year later, I dumped her for my-exwife. She put on about 30lbs, and married some extra large dude. Puts a smile on my face when I see her posts on FB...
 

"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.

Tried to chat up a woman at a gas station. After I barely spoke, she had an "as if" look on her face, blew some air out of her mouth and walked away without saying anything.

I am pretty immune to rejection, so not even that one I would consider anything to feel bad about.

It was actually around this new year's eve. Traveled overseas primarily to see this girl. It was the first time since my early teens that I was willing to try feeling something genuine and in a situation to make it happen, I thought it was worth a shot. Might surprise some of you due to the tone of my messages here, if you've been reading them. There were a few obvious warning signs apparent right from first seeing her profile and talking to her and others more subtle as time went on, but I had too much good will and belief to listen to my gut. When I arrived, she disrespected and basically soft-catfished me, and I went home with nothing. A painful experience not because of "losing" her, but because of placing trust in a woman and temporarily putting myself in a horrible place because of it. That experience changed the ground wiring of how I think about women.

That would make it the best rejection.
Yeah, I even managed to think so at the time as well. I was prepared for it honestly, I knew it was a bad risk. Some guys will see it for themselves only after years of being broken down by a relationship(s), but I stumbled on a shortcut.

Ha! Often times enough rejection causes us to seek things better for ourselves.

Have to cosign @wifehunter & @LARaiders85. The two most painful rejections of my life were when girls I genuinely cared about as human beings slvtted it up, drugged and alcoholed it up, etc., post break-up & rubbed those things in my face specifically to hurt me. Yeah, that's the real them coming through--but at the time I didn't know better--I bought the front--and felt it was my fault.

What's also funny is that if you remain unreactive to all that, they get reattracted--and by that point you couldn't get back with them even if you wanted to if you have any degree of self-respect.

As far as pick-up type rejections, I've had girls curse me out, call me all sorts of names, etc., but those aren't that bad--by far the worst is when they walk away like you don't even exist.

Reminds me of when I was in 9th grade and saw a classmate from the previous year standing around with her friend out in town. I'd been pretty eccentric, but harmless during that year. I walked up and just said a friendly hi X!. Without laying eyes on me or saying a word she almost smirked, looked in the opposite direction and pretended I wasn't there.

Would've been much worse if a buddy didn't coincidentally see me at the same time and greet me a few seconds later, but it was a warning lesson. I don't think I've been so coldly disrespected again until the post I made earlier in this thread now that I think about it, or at least it ranks up there.

A stripper who I had dated 6 months got me bounced from her club. Ironically, when I went back in to get my phone and she and I came face to face, she later said that was the moment she fell in love with me (we dated 2 more years).

Remember: the angrier she gets, the more she loved you. It is apathy you should fear most, not hatred (the negative versus opposite of love).

After our third date at her apartment, she told me, "You're everything I ever wanted in a guy, but... You don't look like the guys I date. I like bad boys*. You should leave now."

*She wasn't "young" and in her bad boy phase. She was 35.

I'm like, "Ok good night."
 

"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.
