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.

I'll also say that there IS no salsa scene where I live. In fact, until I've come to this forum, I've barely heard of it.

I went to a Salsa class once down on the OuterBanks NC.
They are as plentiful as KFC stores.
Try the yello pages Zeek.
 

"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.

That's nice, but I don't live in NC.
I did a Google search on Salsa dancing and classes.
Looks like I could find some if I drove about an hour and a half.

If you can't dance but like eating...there are tons of women in grocery stores.
I'm going to start hitting on women at my local grocery store very shortly. I've seen them looking.
I'll try this: (if she's looking at beef or something) "hey didn't we agree on salmon for dinner?" She just might laugh.
Or my favourite pickup line: "hello there"

Oh also...the library. FULL of college chicks. I dare one of you to grab a "dating for dummies " book and walk up to a girl with it in your hand.
Haha.

Cheesy, but it might work, and is certainly better than doing nothing.
The secret of my success is never looking for women, but opening my eyes and realizing they are everywhere. My friends always crack up when I'm single because I talk to women everywhere. One time we were picking up a pizza because I hadn't showered or shaved in a few days, was wearing ratty clothes, and looked like a literal bum. Soon as we walked in the the joint I sat down by the two hottest girls in the place, and I left with two numbers.

Just keep in mind, there is no "place" to meet women. No "mood" you have to be in, no special clothes you have to be wearing. Walk down the street in any commercial district and they are everywhere.

Keep your eyes open and always be ready! Happy hunting

You should google "dance schools" or "ballroom dancing" a lot do not advertise their salsa or any other group classes on the net..you may have to phone around

Also if no Salsa in your area you could try group classes in cha cha/foxtrot/rhumba...just go and dance you'll thank me later
 

"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.

Where does a "mature man" find new women?


Where do you guys look once you get up into your 30s and such? I have a lot of "hobbies", but most of them aren't hobbies that single girls get into.

This is probably the biggest "hole" in my game right now...just knowing where to FIND them.
If you're looking for a long-term relationship, then doing volunteer work with a charity can be a good starting place. Not only could you meet a lovely lady, but also you'll be meeting warm hearted, high calibre people who may have friends and relatives to introduce you to. You'll feel good about yourself too. As someone else said: build relationships with all who cross your path & keep in touch.

Have a party and ask everyone you know to bring along someone interesting.

Start a new group on Meetup and attract like-minded individuals. I went to a philosophy group and met someone who teaches tantric sex! You just never know who will be there....
