"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.

Alot of advice on this site when women play games is ‘walk away, spin plates, you don’t need to deal with her drama, go sleep with someone else.’

Yet if men can’t handle some mind games from a woman, how are men going to survive real life? Or do we all work cushy jobs with no issues and get paid millions? Men have to be able to outsmart and outgame women. Otherwise smart people will destroy them, let alone women.

It’s like a chess game, you don’t walk away when they make a good move, you counterattack. So next time a woman you like plays games, play back and WIN.
 

"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.

theres no outgaming a woman who has no/low interest.

thats the premise behind nexting women who "play games" women who have legit interest make your job easy not hard. its about efficiency. nothing else.

also, women who act up or you arent getting desired results/behavior from, usually, shape up when you withdraw attention from them .again, granted that there is some interest.

this is one of the fundamentals.

youve been here since 2011. how do you still not understand this?
I agree with this. Men consider 2 things "games" from a woman because they fail to recognize them for what they really are......And turn into AFCs.

It's preventable if you understand that:

1.) Low interest is just that. Not much you can do about it. Not every 2 people are attracted nor compatible with each other. When a woman has low interest but fails to spell it out (because she assumes covertly that you'll take the hint), the man strings himself along, but makes it somehow seem like it is the woman's fault.

2.) Focus on her actions, not her words. If you are making out with a woman and she starts taking your pants off while saying "we really can't do this", do you stop her or keep going? You keep going because you her actions tell you all you need to know. The words are for her to justify her own behavior, which is fine, because her actions tell you what she really wants.
When the two are confused, it is all of a sudden game. That is not correct. It's failure to understand women on the man's part, nothing else.
Women will tell you everything you want to hear as long as you'll pay attention. Since women are generally covert and not overt like men, it takes practice and experience to know what your looking for. Men are much more overt, so its a foreign language (literally) until you undertand it. Until you do, you'll rely on only what she says overtly and you'll never be really good at getting and keeping women.

Interest (mutual) + man maintaining a solid frame + knowing how women communicate covertly = a man with interested women that he can keep around and will respect and pursue him.

Change the interest, frame and knowing how to understand how women communicate covertly and it's a recipe for disaster and all of a sudden she is playing "games".

F*uck games.


Strong, confident men don't need to play kid's games. Only AFC's and boys (not men) with no game get sucked in. Set frame, tell it like it is, be assertive, call the shots, and understand she's human and will have bad days just like you. So if she acts like a b*itch for a day or a couple days, don't freak out and/or "next" her like 99% here will tell you to do. Relax, do your own thing, and if you've been a man, she'll be back.

Don't play games, be a MAN.

I agree with both @Trump and @Glassguy and for different reasons.

Glass Guy's points 1 & 2 are both utterly correct. You have to let go of low interest chicks, which requires recognizing them.

If the woman has interest then game becomes important in how the man manages & leads the interaction.

You are best to outplay her.

Now what on Earth does that look like? Holding frame, handling shjt tests and/or miscues, reinforcing behaviors you want to encourage through application or withdrawal of attention, amused mastery, and other stuff taught around here.

And it's also awareness that the game changes as an interaction progresses and a relationship develops.

The devil is in the details and the details are nuanced.
 

"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.
