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.

Everybody seems to know my name-at school, library, neighborhood, park and lots of places I go. I walk down the street, people throw me daps and shout out my name. I'm a good basketball player and freestyler and have never lost a battle. Even the cute girls say hi to me and wave and smile. Am I popular/cool?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I don't know what you are trying to achieve by asking this question.

My guess is you are either a) bragging, or b) trying to make youself feel better.

Hm. I'm sensing hostility.


Was this honestly a question, or just a pointless thread? Or, could it have been a thread that was intended to make fun of AFC folks?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes. Isn't the guy who sits at his computer and brags the stereotypical cool jock who gets girls?

I dont care if your cool/popular or not. Describe cool and popular. Those two words mean different things to different people. Maybe you are not cool to my standards or where I live in. But you could be "cool" somewhere else.
You already know if your popular or cool or not, we can't say that. But I think your not popular and not cool. So stop saying if I'm cool/popular or not because we don't care on this website. We just want to improve.

to answer your question being popular and being well known are two different things, even if everybody knows who you are, it doesnt mean that your popular , just means that people know who you are....

hey a kid in my old shcool got caught jacking off in the girls shower , and everybody knew who he was after that ... didnt make him popular just made him well known....

being popular is like everybody wanting to hang with you , everybody invites you to everything and everybody looks up to you.... if you are all these things them your popular.....

I say don't concern yourself with "Am I popular". Popularity isn't all its cut out to be. You get some weird people wanting to be your friends just because you're a part of the "in" crowd.
