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.

Have you ever had a LTR with a female, who by your standards was considered hot? Attractive and Sexy...

Did you find it much tougher to get over her?

In the end did you ever look back and think, wow why the hell did I get so hung up over this chick?

Did you downgrade looks wise, but find a much better girlfriend quality wise and personality wise?


Would be great to read your experiences, very often us guys find it very difficult to get over a girl even tho she was a chit person.. but happened to be very good looking.
 

"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.

Never ever, EVER downgrade. Only ever upgrade. Why would you seek LESS than what you've already proven you can have and deserve? Downgrading is the easy way out.

The harder but far more rewarding way is to learn what you would do differently and seek more from from the next one, not less.

Looks can be downgraded Slightly if need be, if the new girl has a better personality, character, morals, mental health, etc.
Your life is about having quality people in it.

Here's the diagnosis:

The reason you are finding it hard to get over a hot sexy attractive woman (with a ****ty personality) is because....
you put her on a pedestal because of her looks and you overlooked her personality and character.

It reminds me of @deesade 's "beauty is a ****test"........if it's a ****e test, it's one that you've failed...

All that glitters is not gold. What other qualities are important to you? What's your blueprint?

Enjoy women like you'd enjoy wine. There's so many different grape varieties and so many different wine regions. Their character changes
because of soil and climate.

There are certain wines that are better qualities than others (objectively speaking) but ultimately it all comes down to personal taste (subjectively speaking)

Sample, enjoy, be careful of hangovers and don't get too attached.

He's upgrading in everyway but looks
 

"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.

0) Always have one foot out the door to begin with - you are only staying as long as she holds you as you try to pull away.
1) Use the pain to inspire you to fast, work out, bike, swim and lift weights until you are noticeably better.
2) Get a tan.
3) Start eating better.
4) Meet as many other women as you can.
5) The only cure for a woman is another woman. One day you realize you are thinking about another girl instead.

You don't have trouble getting over hot women. You have trouble getting over the good chemical feelings the sex with her gave you and that's because the sex was being used by you, subconsciously, to cover up for problems lying within you, like lack of care and love when you were a child and fear of being abandoned and probably some self esteem issues, too.

And just a personal advice: a woman's hotness has partly to do with the way she looks. There is another part that includes the way she behaves, the way she thinks, the way she turns you on. If you make women all about looks, you're not only shallow, but you're gonna miss the whole fun of having a smart, fun, caring chick in your life.

Worse is when they're not only hot, but wife level, hot
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

As insurance, I went out and got 3 phone numbers recently.

One girl had the same name as my girlfriend, one had the same phone number (last 5 digits), and one had the same birthday.

Do I have a type or what?

I always do much better re looks in the medium to long run. In the short run just try to find girls that have character and are fun to be around.

This is it man...right now I am banging two hb6 they are easy going, no drama, give me sex on demand...

One is willing to take part in a 3sum and more....

I just see these chicks as a short term thing... temporary downgrade, in the long run will more likely do better.
 

"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.

Women are a mirror.

You were in love with and now miss the idealized image of yourself that she reflected back to you. In like manner, you also feel the withdrawal of the drug that lifted your ego and made you feel good about yourself, and accomplished.

Translation: When a man is trying to get over a woman, it's not really her whom he misses, but rather, he misses the semi-euphoria that her presence triggered in his brain.

The solution is to realize this at a gut level, and to get into the habit of abundance thinking. There was nothing special about this snowflake. She made you feel special, and now you are left with how you really feel about yourself. Train yourself to think in abundance, and train yourself to think of women as a pleasant adjunct to your life, the dessert but not the main course.

It's been said before, but if you're getting over a woman, remove every minute trace of her existence. Remove phone numbers, emails, gifts, don't listen to any songs you shared together. I used to think this was "cheating" some kind of grieving process, until I learned that this is the only way to handle a breakup.

When a woman breaks up with a man, she will usually seem as cold as ice, to a degree that rocks us to the core. This is because she actually broke up months ago (mentally and spiritually) and has been spending those months grieving while she was with you. Since she is by and large already over it, she seems cruel and detached, usually completely out of her character.

Just remember that you loved the way she made you feel, much more than you loved her personally.

Nope all chicks are the same. The only difference is some last longer than others... but sooner or later they all drift off. And when they do I don't care because I just load up new one.

I kinda agree with you there man... I have given up on this idea of woman standing by your side blah blah blah..

You just gotta keep spinning plates, have two, three, four, woman...

Look out for number one, improve your own life.. she wants to come along for the ride, then great... if not then just replace..next


Most importantly take no chit off them...

Talking about getting over hot chicks.. I got serious onetis for a girl some years ago... took me nearly two years to break away from her.. that girl took me for a ride..

Anyhow this very chick I couldn't get out of my mind, now I don't even get hard around her...

I tried banging her around a year ago, and she did nothing for me.. i would rather jerk off, than bang her now...

She went from a HB9 to HB4 with time and NC

Plus she got a little fat, so that didn't help haha... Hoe

5 years on, she is still trying to hoover me back..

Last time this happened to me was right after college, 1988-90... with my college GF. I then figured out that one of the components of 'oneitis' is that you feel like if you had done things different, then sh!t would not have gone sideways. It is attraction and regret.

Once you self-actualize and come to the conclusion there is NOTHING you can do to get a chick to want you, then it is very liberating. Be the best man you can be and let the chips fall where they will... go with the flow. Do that and you will never get irrationally hooked on any expectation.
