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.

Where to go from here?

Ok I'll start by saying my game has traditionally been terrible to non-existent. By my account, over the years I have blown it and gotten friend zoned with at least 5 very attractive girls that were definite LTR, if not wife, material.

I have been trying to work on this lately, starting with PoF. Using some of the tips on here, I am now starting to get responses and interest. I am currently messaging this one girl and would like to get your thoughts on how to proceed from here. I not looking for a relationship with her (partly because she lives like an hour away from me), but wouldn't mind banging her or landing a FB. Here is the conversation as it stands now:

Me: So what do you do when you're not talking to handsome guys online?
Her: Hahaha. I work. I'm a behavioral therapist for kinda with autism. And I'm in school. You?
Me: That's cool. I am an attorney, but looking of a new job as my last one laid a bunch of us off. Aside from that, I have been working on an eBay business and a couple other side projects, while seeing what trouble I can get myself into.
Her: Haha. Trouble huh?
Me: I bet you are trouble too :)
Her: Haha. Maybe ;)
Me: You should come up my way sometime...see what trouble we can get into together.
Her: Haha, oh really now?
Me: Well, unless you hate fun.
Her: Haha, I don't hate fun.

I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Notice how she ignores the "I'm an attorney and have my own business" and seized on the "trouble" part?
She wants you to be the bad boy she craves. Keep up with the mysterious banter to really push her buttons.

Just an update on this. Kept getting generic responses in my effort to meet up. Like generic enough to make me suspect "catfishing." Nothing since. Next.
 

"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.
