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.

you need to be "good looking enough"

And you can MAKE yourself good looking enough...anyone can.
This is what I see everywhere I go...average looking blokes holding hands with model type women.
With looks, its all about WHAT YOU MAKE, OF WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH. If you make the best of what you cannot change, then women notice. They will take preference toward the guy who is average looking but toned, rather than the untoned pretty boy (who thinks he doesnt need to work out because of his attractive mug). Why?
Because the fact that you have the self discipline to work out as many times as you obviously have shows a very, very attractive attitude.
A good dress sense, toned muscles and well looked after hair, far and away override good looks.
Attractiveness is only partly about looks, remember that.
 

"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.

The top priority is always inner game. Everything else is focusing on the symptoms.

Yea , inner game is key , but you also gotta look best of yourself .

Noone gives a change dirty oily slob .
Absolutely. But many people here focus on symptoms before addressing the core issues. It's much easier. Inner game takes real work, a fearless inquiry into yourself. You must look into the inner mirror which does not lie.

Fixing up symptoms only is avoidance.

ALL I CAN SAY IS INNER GAME, THAS ALL YOU NEED!!! Once your inner game is solid then everything is going 2 get into place so no worries about that :)
 

"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.

WRONG!! The following categories or any of the following categories of men will HAVE A VERY HARD TIME attracting good-looking women regardless if they have inner-game and confidence.


Extreme short-stature- 5'4" and under

Noticeably overweight by more than 15 lbs.

A below-average looking face.......

Remember, Confidence ONLY helps if you are atleast average looking.

One of the most successful DJ's I have ever met is about 5'2". He's average looking, not very smart, but has an award winning personality, and no fear of rejection at all. He usually has beautiful women who are a few inches taller than him.

I scored some of the hottest women in my career when I was 15 lbs overweight. I used to dance at this night club with a shirt that had the bottom buttons missing. So my stomach kind of hung out and bounced around. I didn't think twice about it. I was just there to have fun. One super hottie that I ended up dating for a while told me when she saw me dancing with my belly hanging out, she thought, "Who is this guy thinking he's all cool looking like that?"

She actually cut in between another girl I was dancing with to introduce herself. I did literally nothing to attract her but be my fun, overweight self.

Even with this, if your personality, attitude and confidence level are great, you can attract women. If you are a three in looks, you could get an HB6 or 7. You might not get a ten, but she will be a ten for you.

Of course looks matter. Everything matters. But looks are just one piece of the whole. If looks are a smaller piece, than the other pieces better be bigger than average.

being short is the devil's curse. 5'2"? please. keep making this stuff up. at 5'2" you should be doing sideshows with crabboy. take me for instance. i am good looking. i made second team all-city in football. i have had more than my share of babes. still i want more. so i have been working on my abs. when i take my jacket off i always make sure to pull it so that my shirt gets partly lifted up. let the hb's get a glimpse of my chiseled gut. i am telling you it works. easy to approach after that.
 

"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.

He is probably a rare, rare scenario then.

Explain all these other forums where guys 5'5" and under keep getting rejected for not being tall enough or haven't had dates in years.

Yes, he is rare. But it is his personality that is rare. He would be successful whether he was tall or short.

You don't have to look like a movie star to get a girl that you're attracted to...all the hell you have to do is respect yourself enough to take good care of your appearance. That doesn't even mean you have to work out all the time, just try not to look like a complete slob.
 

"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 attract hot girls like magnets and most of the girls call me cute, I think it is because of my heights(5'3"), & I also have a strong inner game.
