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.

Allen, TX Outlet Mall Shooting: Was the Shooter an Incel?

Yesterday, there was a mass shooting at an outlet mall (Allen Premium Outlets) in Allen, TX. Allen is a northern suburb of Dallas, TX and considered a desirable suburb.

The Allen Premium Outlets were opened in 2000, when Allen had only a population of 43,000, compared to 104,000 now. Nearby suburbs of McKinney and Frisco were also much smaller in 2000. It was considered a somewhat remote area in 2000 that has had a lot of suburban sprawl since that time.

Many mass shootings are perpetrated by incels. Incel sexual frustration is closely linked to mass shootings. However, there have been mass shootings where incel status was not a primary motivator.

Metro Dallas is a difficult mating market. There is a male surplus (though not as bad as some other cities). White women in Metro Dallas are heavily pursued, entitled, pretentious, and often have bad attitudes.

Allen is mainly suburban and families, so the mating market isn't as active as in Dallas. Allen is ~20% Asian and there are many sexually frustrated Asian males. The sexually frustrated, high school nerd or college STEM majoring Asian male is a bit of a trope.



 

"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.

There are some signs that the shooter (now dead) was an incel. There are also some signs that this wasn't incel related.

He was in his 30s and lived with his parents in a Dallas neighborhood with older houses. It does not appear that his parents spoke English and it is likely his parents spoke Spanish. A guy living at home in his 30s isn't likely to be getting laid regularly and his parents are poor to lower middle class based on the housing quality in the video in the link. Neighbors did say that the guy wore odd clothing and behaved oddly walking around that neighborhood for years. That seems like social ineptitude.

If he came from a primarily Spanish speaking environment, he could have played broke, tattooed dirtbag game and gotten with some Hispanic women, typically lower class ones.

All of the mass shootings are horrible, but this one hits home. I have been to this same place many times. I used to drive by there every day. Lived minutes away for 20yrs. That stuff isn't supposed to happen in your own backyard. WTF is wrong with people? Total lack of concern for human life.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we have a massive mental health problem that nobody is willing to recognize and make the difficult societal changes …
Gotta start with the DOE

I have driven past it many times. It doesn't stand out too much when driving past it heading south on US 75 towards Dallas.

investigators have found social media accounts connected to the shooter that reveal hundreds of postings and images, including writings with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist rhetoric, neo-Nazi material and material espousing the supremacy of the white race.

Doesn’t feel like a makings on incel shooting.
 

"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.

Incel status has been a key motivating factor for a lot of shootings. This one isn't seeming as much like an incel motivated one as some others.

I’m impressed by the amount of prescription medication people take in the States. When I do a physical every 6 months, the doctor examining me is always surprised when I mention that I don’t use any medication.

Still keeping watch on this one. Already saw video footage of him getting out of his car and that already made me upset. He just guns down women and children out in the open. A cop happened to be nearby and killed his ass.

I think the future is to detect people like this and remove them from society before they can cause damage, but that will require measures that most people wont like.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

This will prove unpopular here most likely, but a robust public health system that includes psychological services would greatly diminish the number of mass shooters in the US.

By implementing robust public mental health programs that focus on early identification, intervention, and support, communities can help identify potential psychopaths and reduce the number of mass shootings. It is important to note that not all individuals with psychopathy or other mental health conditions will engage in violent acts; however, providing comprehensive support and services can help mitigate risk factors and create safer communities for everyone.

Killing a human being is not an easy thing to do from a mental standpoint. It goes against human nature at its core. You have got to be seriously messed up to go through with a killing, if not threatened yourself. In war or self defense different things are at work.

It is written about in medieval works such as “The Song of Roland," a medieval epic poem based on the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778. In this poem, there are descriptions of the emotional and physical distress experienced by the soldiers after the battle. There are many other writings that show the stresses warriors go through.

People that are capable of murder like these mass shooters have severe issues, they’re literally sociopaths as well.

So basically more surveillance of men and "red flag" policies weaponized at anyone who doesn't agree with MSM narratives?

No, it’s basically about having adequate mental health care to find the severely unbalanced people before they can kill others. It’s currently sorely missing and below average quality in US society.…

Yes, education is a long term solution and a good start, but what do we do with the already grown mentally ill walking wounded?
Or the hordes of brain dead drug addicts that have fried themselves stupid with fentanyl.

This was an illegal from central or south america. No health programs would have stopped this. Sometimes you gotta call it how it is.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
