At the same time, you have to be very careful not to be a people please. You'll get walked all over and be a dog chasing his tail.
"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.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Why did I know, before reading this thread, that the very first post about bad advice would come from Mom?
Although I find it a bit disturbing that your mom would talk about money instead of feelings. Mine told me to always be emotional, because girls would love that... yours told you to get yourself a gold digger.

Let me guess, mom as well.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

11. "Text her after the first date to tell her that you had a nice time."
I never got a second date when I did this.
12. "8MB of RAM is more than anyone will ever need."
That's what the guy at the electronics store told me in 1994 when I bought a computer.
13. "Your car insurance goes down after you turn 25."
I'm 40 with no accidents and still pay through the azz.
14. "She likes you. She's just playing hard to get."
She's not interested.
15. "She doesn't know what she wants."
It's clear what she doesn't want.
16. "Don't eat before coming to this party/dinner at our house. We're gonna have tons of food."
You'll arrive starving and nothing will be ready for at least two hours. Everybody else will be too drunk to notice or care. ALWAYS eat before going to a party or dinner at somebody's house.

High School Football Coach, "Hey Dust 2 Dust do you want to play football? We need more players. You don't need to be any good."
Reality: We're looking for tackling dummies for our starters to run over.
Ex-girlfriend, "You should buy this house because it has a huge pool in the backyard."
Reality: You will be out there every weekend cleaning and balancing out chemicals. If a part breaks you will spend a small fortune getting it fixed. It will be a hole that you endlessly throw money into.
My Mom, "Beauty is only skin deep"
Reality : Ugly is to the bone.

"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.

I agree with Dust muffin that you can't oddjob your way into *****. But once you're tapping it on the regular I've never worked out how to avoid the boyfriend tax. On the plus side I've learnt a lot about fixing houses
Haha it's funny how this one is usually only heard from 40+ women. You never hear any men saying it...

^This. Pools are a full-time job and a big expense. Can't agree more

If its meant to be she'll come back to you.

"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.

No advice that was necessarily given to me personally, but bad advice that is often given in general:
1. Just be yourself (i.e. do not pursue self-improvement)
2. Good things come to those who wait

Here's my pep talk from my trainer right before my first fight:
You're going to get knocked the fvck out! You'll be laying there twitching. You're going to be an embarrassment to me, you, and everyone else in the goddamn building.
Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. I looked terrified every time the other guy took a swing at me. Afterward, when the last bell rang, my gf heard my trainer say to his wife: Well, he did better than I thought he'd do. I thought he'd get knocked the fvck out.

The unanimous winner for bad advice is mother's, with a large sample of father's as the runner up.
Did anyone have a red pill mother who called relationships like they are and didn't apologize for being feminine?

"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.
