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.

Ever see this Otezla commercial? I see it quite often. It catches my attention because it gets me wondering:
First off, he's on a first date with a girl he met through OLD. They watch a movie together so they don't even get a chance to talk. Terrible choice for a first date. At the end he gets a hug, doesn't even go for a kiss.

I'm trying to figure out if the old lady is real or if she is supposed to be some sort of metaphor for his psoriasis. And if she is real, what the heck is she doing with him?

Kind of a cool frozen 3D effect in the theater, although it's nothing new.

 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I have no idea if this is supposed to be a drug commercial or some parody that is supposed to be selling something else. Oh, and why isn't Tether mentioned; I had always thought that Psoriasis always goes with Tether.

No, this is a real commercial. Otezla has had a series of them. Some of them have featured some real hotties IMO. There were a few redheads... I like watching them to see if I can spot where the red, dry patches are on the people. It's like a game of Where's Waldo.
 

"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.
