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.

Weed actually gets me paranoid. Trust me, if I could be a "pot head" rather than an "alcoholic" I would be, but it seems to effect me differently. Heard many people say that it's normal, you just gotta do it more, it will pass, and I did. It's not like I've only smoked once or twice, I've tried it a lot. Sometimes I had a good high, but a large majority of the time I felt sick, weird, paranoid, and thought I was going to die. Now it's something I avoid completely. I know plenty of people that smoke, but when the pipe is passed to me I simply say "no thanks". Perhaps it's my genetic and chemical make-up, don't know. I just never enjoyed marijuana. Not to say that I don't think it should be legal, I think it should be. But it's not for me. It's funny though because I've tried a lot of hard drugs (pcp, mushrooms, coke etc..) but weed gets me paranoid far more than any of those. All my friends thought it was weird, I think it is too. Back when I was doing drugs, coke was my favorite. Maybe I just like uppers rather than downers (weed)? One of the reasons why I will never do meth.. I know I'd be addicted in a second, not worth it to me.

Well maybe something bad happened to you as a kid and that's why you get paranoid like that. I get a little paranoid but it passes.
 

"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.

The only thing I can think of is when I "accidentally" smoked pcp. That was my first time trying it actually. Thought I was smoking weed, then noticed it tasted funny and effected me different. Then the guy who handed me the pipe said "Have you ever smoked pcp before?" I said no, "well you just have" he said. Tripped me out, but I actually enjoyed it bit. Not going to lie though, I was scared. Maybe it has part to do with it. Me and a buddy both got tricked, and we ended up walking to the river, then walked back to the house, then I had my mom come pick me up. Somehow, I kept my cool the whole time, even though I felt like my heart was going to explode. Spent the rest of the whole afternoon pacing around my room/house, without trying to make it obvious. I think that's when everything started, as far as weed goes.
