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.

Ask yourself this... Do you think you'll regret not trying it in your last moments alive? Smoke a blunt, dude. I highly recommend it. See what I did there?!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Along those lines, now is a good time to talk about honey traps.

It just happened recently to Bernie Goetz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Goetz)

An attractive, unaccompanied woman will approach you, asking you if you can help her get high. Then she will want you to give or sell her a tiny amount of whatever drugs you share with her. In Bernie's case, the woman insisted upon paying him, but in the eyes of the law it does not matter. A gift of drugs is the same as dealing drugs. The same woman might come back multiple times to do the same thing. Then you can become a career offender and major drug trafficker in the eyes of the law, before you ever learn that the woman is what the police call a "confidential informant." She probably got busted for coke or heroin, and the cops told her if she brings them enough arrests then she will avoid jail.
Damn I could have fallen for this once. Met a 21 year old chic off match 5 years ago, and she convinced me to sell her weed. Thankfully she wasn't a NARC.

I don't get how we allow cops to set people up like this. One thing is going after drug dealers that support themselves this way. Another is to ask a person that does not sell, to sell you a large amount and tempt them to do something wrong. Cops should be forced to only bust dealers that approach them, not the other way around.

I knew this girl that didn't even really smoke, a friend of a friend wanted a large amount of something and she sold it to them and got busted. Ruined her life and for what? She was a college girl not a drug dealer. This did not make society better, on the contrary actually. There is the argument that it's technically illegal, but there's plenty laws that just don't get enforced also and on purpose. It's just a nasty malicious thing to do to a person.

Whatever band is currently drawing a big druggie crowd - it was the Grateful Dead for decades, then Phish, then Widespread Panic, now it's probably ICP - you can always expect to find some Feds. They like to focus on acid/mushrooms more than weed, because the punishments are worse. Concert organizers will put together narc-on-the-narcs teams whose job it is to pick out the undercover police and throw them out of the venue. They can ask anyone to leave, but they can't prohibit cops as a policy. One tip I remember was that they said all the undercovers seemed to have fanny packs on - I guess to carry all their cop stuff.

What they were doing at a lot of the busts was using a honey trap female who was scantily clad, without a man, and pretending to be very drunk. She would ask you to point her toward someone who would sell her acid. All it takes is pointing a finger at someone and that makes you an accessory to the sale, which is the same punishment as selling, which is a 5-year Fed mandatory minimum, even for a first time offender, and even if no illegal drug transaction actually took place.

"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.
