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.

When a woman tries to "out alpha you"?

I've had a few dates with a girl who absolutely tries to be the alpha. Some examples:

- First date: As she puts on her jacket, demands I hold her purse and I just look at her like hell no until she says "fine, PLEASE hold my purse".

-Second date: Tells me to give her a massage and I laugh saying she won't get one until I get one first". She ends up complying.

-Second date: Grabs my phone and adds her account to my IG. When I'm like "wtf", she says "what do you have to hide on your phone?" to try and throw me off.

Just **** like this left and right. I've been with girls who are like this and I always maintain the stronger frame, but she's to like another level. I was trying to set up a third date but she keeps trying to control it, changing what we do etc. Her last message was "I'm sure we can figure something out" on the day I proposed. I never responded nor am I sure I really want. Anyone ever experience this?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I have no doubt $hit like this will escalate over the years.

I am going through something similar. I've learned to just let her pretend she's in charge.

The Book of Pook says to treat women like kittens. Would you get mad if a kitten gave you orders? No, you'd just think it was cute.

Letting women drag you into a power struggle drags you down to their level. You lose even when you win. The only real winning is not playing. Sand bag, let her win these little games so it builds up her confidence, and that will make it easier to fvck her later. That's how to manipulate anyone - you make them think they are the one manipulating you.

Yea that's very true and great point. I'm torn. Having her try to "out man" me makes me laugh and extremely annoyed all at once. I keep telling myself to just navigate the waters because once we ****, she loses a lot of power. Just not sure my inner man can take it until then..

Go with Pook, as long as you aren't thinking she's marriage material.... if that is what you are looking for, she's not it. You will get tired of fighting all day at work, then coming home to another one
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is a very good question. I don't have a response but hope someone can provide some solutions on how to handle these kinds of situations.

Isn't that kind of like you fvck a man if she out-man you in bed as well? I don't know if I could keep it hard with that kind of treatment.

I would say if she is in this mindstate to "out Alpha" you, let her change your brakes, the oil on your car, and pay the bills too. Set back with your feet up.

Haha, oh no. She's the type of girl who wants to be the alpha but also have the guy do the unpleasant man stuff too. Basically, she has an amazing rack that I want to see, outside of that she doesn't offer much to the world in terms of looks or personality. I thought about just "being the beta" to screw her and never talk to her again, but it just hurts my inner man to let her get away with her shenanigans.

She just requires a strong don juan. Keep at it, she'll fold. You'll Just have some growing pains. I've been there done that with broads like this. You can funnel their energy to meet your reality. Just earn her respect and be mysterious.
 

"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.

what is it about chicks with big racks doing this crap?

Well I guess it's self explanatory...

Just remember, that huge rack will be longer in 10 years..... probably hit her navel and she's going to have quite a belly on her..... unless they are bolt on's....then they will stay where they belong....
That's the bummer about big t1ts. Not LTR material.

Why even waste a millisecond on women like this? Stick with dating real women and avoid the "male wannabees" like the plague that they are.

She is control freak to the worst degree, could not even hide it on the first date, did not even try is worse.

Most controlling women are spoiled brats growing up as children, meaning they remain spoiled brats as women, though dont act like a woman but most times a child.

good luck, sounds exhausting

It can be fun to play the game though. Losing all respect for such an obnoxious woman will allow you to dominate her to hell and back. Just make sure you don't have an emotional investment.
I had some fun with a girl like that, until she really crossed the line once.

I've never had such an encounter. Maybe I don't see women and men as alphas. I also don't play games and wouldn't notice anyone trying to out alpha me because I don't give a ****. -- maybe that's why it is easy for me...

How is this alpha ? If anything it is a desperate call for attention from an immature girl who is trying to figure out where her penis went.

Beyond ratchet imo, I'd run the other way.
