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.

Guilt - one of the most effective ways to change a person, only manifests because one's actions don't match with a person's idea of themselves(their ego).

A man with a big ego is a man who is easily influenced(even flattered).

I have always wondered what it is that attracts women to men with big egoes. I wondered if a big ego is a manifestation of a healthy mind - I don't think so now. Consider narcissists.

It just occured to me that a man with a big ego is easily influenced. If your ego is small you will not easily be swayed from whichever direction you are traveling in. Women however don't seem to be attracted to humble men in general unless they are humble themselves.
 

"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.

Wouldn't it be the other way around?
A man with a big ego is not so easily swayed as he knows he is capable of doing what he wants while a man with a lesser ego can easily be influenced as he lacks an ego to choose his own path

Depends. If you have a huge ego based on something concrete that's fine. But large fake egos, are very easily to mold.

This^

The most successful and influential people in the world have big egos. They believe they are capable of anything. They are not swayed...and especially not by women for their lives are BIGGER THAN THAT.

A big "fake ego" > a small ego

People with larger egos are easier to manipulate. The ego is never satisfied so it seeks completion outside of the person. In the external which could be money, validation, women, relationships etc. Because of that, once you know what a person's ego feels it "needs" to be complete, you have found a path to manipulate them. Which is why players can manipulate women by filling their heads with fantasy ideas about relationships. Then they cut bait and the woman is devastated.

Smaller egos don't look externally for validation. They are more internally fulfilled and grounded in themselves which makes it harder to manipulate.

Some powerful and influential have big egos, some do not. They have affirmed thoughts that are in their subconscious which cause them to believe they can do anything. It relates to ego in that it is self-identity, but it doesn't really tell the whole story.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Women like men with big egos for the status associated with it.

A man many women want is a man worth having. Women are sheepish thinkers and like whats "in fashion" and "popular". Outside of the superficial aspect.. women like a man who is difficult to seduce because once seduced.. he is less likely to stray emotionally (or so they believe).

A man in low demand is more likely to be desperate.. thus have a smaller ego. He is no accomplishment for a woman.. and any woman can have him (or so they believe). Women want the security of having the only key to the car EVERYONE wants. Unluckily for them.. this logic is idiotic. :crazy:

A man with a big ego will also tolerate less crap and be almost impossible to keep since he is always looking for something better.. because he deserves it.

Women are morons. Use their stupidity to your advantage. Spin plates. :up:

There are days where i feel such pain waking up in the morning not being able to be relatable to some women- thinking they are against me. the reality is they aren't, but why do i used to think that? What brought on these feelings?

They are horny and they are pervs just like men, having been around a few myself with that mindset. I'm not entitled to attractive women, just lowered expectation in general life. How did it get to this point that when a hot chick gives you approval or special treatment you feel all better, albeit temporarily?

Is it because attractive women are treated as pillars of society, and you thought or were made to feel (bullying, peer pressure et al) you couldn't ever belong in that crowd?

^^^ This

It's not as straight forward as big ego vs small ego. Having a small ego and being concious is far more beneficial than having a big ego. With consciousness comes self control, and the ability to see the world for what it really is. Combine this with your DJ skills and you'll always be 10 steps ahead of any women.

I don't think that's the case. I think they like men with big egoes because those men are more likely to have the other things that women want (status, money, power).

And that to such an extent that they have become attracted to the big ego itself and other manifestations of the big ego because it is a marker for other traits that favor reproduction and offspring.

What do you know ? You're the one who trying to get even wit BPD . Shat for brains:box:
 

"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.
