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.

Do you talk badly about others?

Hey guys, do you find yourself talking badly about other people?
Or judge others often?
 

"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.

-If I find someone repugnant, I'll express my sentiments out loud and to their face(s), yep

-We all "judge" ourselves and others. Our contemporary fixation on being "non-judgmental" is the equivalent of trying to cook spaghetti, without boiling water... We're trying to do an end run around the sometimes disquieting work of investigating the accuracy of our thoughts and beliefs I.E. Our judgments

If you find yourself deifying someone, dehumanizing them, or labeling them a mediocrity, it's prudent to explore alternative ways of viewing this same person. Real-Life Ex.

Joseph Stalin was apparently deemed unremarkable by many of his peers, yet he became one of the most powerful men on Earth, remained so until his death, and was/is one of a minute handful who can honestly boast: "I altered and shaped the course of human history"

Perhaps he wasn't as bright, attractive, eloquent, or charismatic as his aforementioned peers who sneered dismissively at him. Dude who was anything but "a mediocrity" though

No not individually. Group wise, yes. I talk about the corrupt governments around the world that we have including the states. How they the leaders do a lot of evil and corrupt acts behind close doors. No offense, America is still a great country, I served in the Military and getting benefits from it, but there's a lot more that needs to be said and make people aware what really goes down when no one is watching.
