"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.

Why do I feel so miserable when I don't have a girlfriend? I mean in my life everything seems to be fine, I go to college, have friends, good family, and pretty much everything is satisfactory. However there is always one thing that brings me down everyday, I feel sad and depressed because a simple problem of not having a girlfriend. What's with the women that have a power over us??
 

"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 used to feel the same way.

Then I realized that the empty void was lack of close friends, not lack of females. But that's just me.

You're making females too important, you're determining your mood based on whether or not you're in a relationship, and that's self-destructive dude.

It is because you are not happy with your self - that is why you need another constantly - to affirm your self-worth.

Everyone's going to have problems in life, or a feeling of emptiness somewhere.

Psycho's right, be happy with yourself first. You're devaluing your own worth and compromising your state of well-being by the mere thought of being single.

If you want a girl, go and get one, but make sure you get your overall game together to 'keep' her interested.

Well said vice. I felt the same way in the past when i didnt have a guy in my life, cause my life seemed to evlove around being in a relationship, it doesnt bother me so much now. Being in a relationship isnt of that great an importance anymore, and if you can change your way of thinking, you may well be happier for it.
 

"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.

+1 rep point.

Vice hit it dead on. You're too focused on making women your source of happiness rather than yourself/your life. Whenever you make additions to your life your source of happiness instead of your life itself,you'll fall into some type of despair.

You need to fix this dude. You need to straighten it out. If you don't get this thing in check,it'll permeate into other areas of your life and cause problems there as well.

You say you feel miserable. Well,if you think you feel miserable now,just wait until you actually get a woman. That's not a joke either. I don't care how bad you feel right now,if you go into a relationship with this mindset you currently have,you'll look at now as the "good old days". You're going to be in for a pain and misery that far exceeds anything you're currently experiencing. A woman will "sense" that you're making her your source of happiness not as an aid to your life,but your life itself,then she'll start to walk all over and mistreat you. She'll sense that you don't think you can get anybody else,then she'll take you for granted.

You've been here 2 months,so you should kind of have a sense about what's taught here on the forum. This solution is simple.

Stop looking outside of yourself for happiness.

The honest truth is our hearts are restless until we find peace in God. No matter what you possess in this life you'll never find peace and contentment for very long.

You have mot learned how to just be with yourself and love yourself. Until you do that you will be miserable and the girls you date will also disrespect you for not loving yourself, and not being cofortable to be on your own. Once you become happy with yourself and being alone you will stay away from unfulfilling relationships and actullly miss being alone when you are in one. Unless the girl is everything you want. Personally, i dont give relationships w/girls i dont want to be w/a second look. I rather be alone and happier that way.

Start focusing on you, if you dont love yourself no women will make you happy.
