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're on a date - 1st, 2nd, or 3rd - and your plate brings up politics. How do you handle it?

I straight up say, "I don't talk about politics with anyone."

Let's say you get into a conversation with her about various political issues, and she ends up getting angry to the point she no longer wants to see you....

3 things I don't talk about with anyone, especially plates - Politics, Religion, Social Issues
 

"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.

Idk, they love my blunt unvaxxed ass.

"Hey unicorn, what do you think about trans people?"

me: Slightly autistic vulnerable and highly impressionable people that got led astray. In the 80's they would have gotten perms, in the 90's they would have been bulimic, in the 2000's would have had adhd, and in the 2010 just fell into tumblr troll ideologies.

These are the conversations I live for tbh.

I think you should keep that rule. And I like the simplicity of it, you simply don't talk to plates about politics, etc. Those is your boundaries, if she respects it she is worth your time and energy. If she doesn't, there is the door.

I, personally, don't mind doing it because at the end of the day I am not here to caress egos or walk on eggshells. If someone doesn't like it and feels offended (and in this case the plate decides it's a deal-breaker) then that is their problem, not mine. I am open to having a conversation but we know that will most likely only bring friction/tension unless the other person is mature and intelligent enough to hold discussions with different points of view.

But like I said, I like your simplicity when it comes to plates. If it's someone you are dating or a friend, then avoiding those topics isn't necessarily productive as these are people in your life.

its a nice time to screen her, if she is annoying with extreme view its better to next her, remember your time is sacred, valuable, finite, you sure won't spend it on idiots, and you can bet taking the non talk about it she will think you are shamed with your ideas and will end it anyway, so do yourself a favor and weed the woman and save yourself the time

I have this Monologue Memorized for just that occasion.....



"Well, I believe in the soul... the ****...the *****... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap... I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight."​
 

"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.

It’s a shvt test. Most people respect your politics as long as you can back it up and aren’t an extremist. As for plates, I am assuming you already smashed. If so, why do you care what happens to her after?

**** those rules, I'll talk about whatever I damn well please. While I never purposely ever steer the conversation into those topics, I won't skirt around them either. I have no interest in dating a SJW/feminist/nihilist/marxist/etc, so the sooner that's out in the open the better.

On another note a lot of women will say their beliefs are important, but will ultimately bend to the belief system of whatever guy they're seeing, if they respect and admire him. Ultimately, I view it is a **** test. Women do not respect a man who identifies with their leftist/feminist causes, especially in the context holding frame.

Just shrug it away. Politics is a shvt test. Not worth your time. No woman is worth talking about deep discussions with. I seldom find guys who can keep up with politics without becoming emotional like children.

DONT.

Try not to talk politics with either a plate or potential girlfriend. It usually doesn't end well.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Present yourself as a moderate in all things social and political (or as slightly leaning towards whatever direction she leans or lurches in), and they say you generally don't like to talk about social/poitical things, and steer the conversation in a different direction.

If she*insists* on talking about these things after this, you've got a pain in the ass. Cut bait.

If it's a religious issue, I just say I'm agnostic, believe in a creator, etc and am open minded. If this isn't cool, then you've got either a fundamentalist or an atheist (who ten to be 99% hardcore SJW anyway). Cut bait.

Got to smoke out the crazies.

Imo if you say straight up "I don't talk about politics, etc", she may think you're hiding something.

It just depends. I don't see eye to eye with my gf of almost two years when it comes to politics. If it had come up when we first met, she probably wouldn't have dated me. But aside from Orange Man Bad, her politics are actually mostly aligned with mine.

If the woman is bringing up politics because she's woke then I would take the piss out of her. Woke people are a waste of oxygen. Although ironically this might actually work to make her more attracted to you.

Liberalism = compassion, emotion, unambitious, egalitarian --> feminine qualities
Capitalism/conservatism = ambitious, logical, practical, unemotional, competitive --> masculine qualities

The polarity between liberalism and conservatism is a clear analogy to feminine/masculine polarity.

I am right-leaning and a registered Republican. I am financially solvent. I don't apologize for myself. The majority of liberal women actually find it to be a turn-on.
 

"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.
