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.

Recently this girl came back into my life after 2 years. We have a history but never dated, just sex and have some mutual friends and she goes and comes when she pleases and doesn’t stick around long which is fine. She randomly text me last night and was wanting to small talk so I just said “if you want to talk to me you know where I live, come over”. She sent some gif of a woman with a surprised look on her face which I never responded to because I thought it was stupid. This woman is 31 and using gifs for communication! Good Lord.

This morning she texts me “guess you’re upset about last night. That’s cool”. I thought about responding but didn’t see the point, it’s cute that she thinks I was so torn up over her not coming over and sending some weird gif for a response though lol It’s even cuter she’s still trying to play the game at this age.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

IMO you're potentially letting a fwb escape.

Text get back a "?" And let her explain wtf she's taking about and take the conversation from there.

She thinks ur butthurt about get not coming over. You're not. But still try to get her out, isolate. She's interested, just not interested in being tagged as super easy. She'll come to you but you're going to have to be a bit smoother

IMO

So you're telling me that all those girls who contacted me after so many months or years were actually FWB?)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hmmm. Yeah.. I’m not sure how she could be a FWB. If she were she would have came right over and been ready to partake in said role. Sounds to me like she just wants the OP as an orbiter.

To share an example that just because women are about to hit the wall or have hit it, they will still play stupid games thinking they can still get away with it. This girl I mentioned is approaching the wall but still sexy. She’s a lot of trouble though, not really worth the fwb unless you have zero other options. I’ve known her for 8 years.

She’s been trying to make me an orbiter for years. She is into tall fat men (no joke), I am only 5’10 and I’m damn sure not fat.

Apparently guys aren’t learning, or enough aren’t, because women keep doing it no matter the age.lol
 

"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.

Lol, generally YES - if you were FWB and they dropped off and are recontacting you, they are testing to see what the situation is.
You just have to be DJ enough to resurrect the arrangement, which requires finesse, which I assume you lack?

Seems to me you were too expectant-aggressive, which is fine because it's what you wanted, but it scared her off

Jakes on you kuz.

31 is cratered SMV. Meanwhile hotter girls are turning 18 19 20 21 every day.

Its your own fault giving any sort of attention to past prime nearly post wall. I think your testosterone needs to be checked.

This girl has been on the carousel for what 2 decades? She's closer to post wall than top form SMV 18-23.

Needless to say, you're not doing it right kuz.

I don't have the time nor the patience to directly troll said skank. It would be me pulling hotter and younger and her being trolled indirectly seeing me 30 pulling in front of her.


Attention and time is chick currency. Block and delete her. #nextSet

The best reaction is no reaction. Get baeees on top form. She's post wall and you pull barely legal. That's checkmate.

Women learn the hard way that their annoying cutesy BS that men tolerate all day long when they are at their peak will get them nexted once they start hitting the wall and there are better alternatives out there.
Lol, he doesn't have any alternatives (that he mentioned)

If I'm being reached out to out of the blue by a woman whom I slept with in the past, it only means one thing. However like @sazc said, it doesn't mean she has to give up all self respect by abiding to commands like "if you want to talk, come over". Some you just have to give them the pointless small talk and then go for the kill.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Agreed however, at 30, i am disgusted and not interested in any level of investment or involvement for that matter. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

I don't comprehend the amount of time guys spend with women who have spent the last decades as a sexual commodity. Her fertility is nonexistent unless you consider retard or down syndrome ideal child bearing.

The issue is that it can be hard to figure out who is DTF and who needs some small talk..

Don't be too flattered, it's not about paying you any particular 'amount of attention:, its called 'reading comprehension'
 

"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.
