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.

"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.

"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 there was something to make you taller, don't you think everyone would take it and be 6'2"?

I'm an idiot? No, Fred, I'm sorry... you're an idiot. You've proven that time and time again. Damn Canucks...

A local football player that I went to school with awhile ago went to his doctor for a physical. He was about 5'4" when his doctor prescribed a version of steroids to him. By the end of the year, he was 5'10". (Watch Fred get all huffy.)

*clears up the confusion*

You're both idiots. :)

On a serious note though, not all roids are created equal. I was perscribed to a type of steroid when I was a toddler cuz I had a nasty allergic reaction to Penicillin and ended up with hives. It wasn't an anabolic roid as far as I know. Anabolic roids do stunt growth. That's a fact.

Do heavy lifts that compress the spine, like squats, deadlifts, hack squats, clean and jerk. The only growth hormone triggers are in the spine, and these excersizes are the only ones that promote GH and Test.

On a further note, you still have a spurt to go. You really do grow until you are 21. My bud went 5'10" to 6'2" between begining of college and end of sophomore year, so don't brush it off as BS, it happens.

"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.

It's a badly-kept secret.
From what I've heard, there's not much you can do to promote growth.

Sleep more, eat more, perhaps spine-compressing lifts like Soshyopath suggested - although you have to be careful with them. But even those things won't really make you grow much more (if at all). You're height is difficult to change... like wrists, it's all bone structure.

There's not much you can do to make yourself grow more, but there are a hell of a lot of things you can do to stunt your growth!
