I know its vague.
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.
what keeps you guys going?

- Start date
"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.

Goals. The visions I have of myself in future, the visions I see myself becoming, I know that it's inevitable. I will become who I've always wanted to become. I won’t let myself end where I started, I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what's within me. Even if others can’t see it yet. I will become what I know I am.

Self-love..I wouldn't call it Narccacism. I use to love people and life, but people and reality changed that for me. I hate the system and people in short lol. I still love life but only because what keeps me goin is knowing I'm doing what I can to love it through positive action and occasional indulgence and to help people(people that deserve help) in such a dark twisted reality. Spreading good vibes would be the short answer for a vague question like that.
I'm also thankful to be an immigrant here and raised by hardcore Soviet parents who taught me values of respecting and helping people.. instead of the east coast way where I live "me me me me f0ck u me me me" I would love to see one of these entitled westerners spend a week in the country I'm from. They would get their jaw broken in 3 hours.. And I'm not even exaggerating. So trying to meet like minded people with similar values is another thing that keeps me going.

A need to eat and keep a roof over my head keeps me going.
The strange and abstract desire to be something and make something meaningful. I do not know what it is, what, how, or why... But there is a sense of purpose even when faced with the notion that life is ultimately finite.
And I enjoy life and living... The meaning of life is found in every moment of living. The experiences, the sights, the sounds, the feelings. I only have one life, one chance to experience all of this and to savor it all.

Having a housekeeper come in a few times a month isn't expensive. I have one. Check into it you may be surprised.
"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.
