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.

i'm not a heavy smoker but when i'm stressed out i do chain smoke. i might run through 1 no more than 2 packs a month though. i just bought a new pack of cigs and the last one lasted me 3 weeks. i like to smoke blacks when i'm drinking heavy drinks like bourbon as well, maybe 4-5 of those a month.

i actually picked the habit up from my wife i didn't smoke at all until about 2 years ago. she smokes when she's drinking and when she's pissed lol

I smoke marlbro classics.

any other smokers? if so how often and how much?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Lol tits.

I smoke a pack a day. If that is all you smoke, you should have little problem quitting. I would if I were you.

Bourbon? Quit lying. You know it was purple drank.
 

"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.

Any other facebook chick lingo words you want to use? Creepy perhaps?

Come on backbreaker , you spent the best part of the first 6 years of your posts here subtlely pushing the "I is sooo oppressed by the white debbil" meme and NOW you have a (fake) problem with jokes giving some back? It was either that or rib you for being an attention seeking used car salesman, which didn't seem to fit.

I gave up smokes and booze 1 year and 27 days ago. Give or take.

If I wanted to smoke, I'd grow my own. I went to college with a kid from Holland who brought over some really good sh!t. It was like cherry-flavored weed. People who didn't smoke were bumming cigs off the guy.

The products the tobacco companies peddle are only part tobacco. The rest are additives designed to make you smoke more. Marlboros are to tobacco what high fructose corn syrup is to sugar - an ultra-processed way to make something not good for you even worse.

Tobacco causes cancer because it is radioactive, which happens because it uptakes massive amounts of phosphorous from the soil as it grows. I don't think it's very far off before there is GMO tobacco that blocks the phosphorous uptake so it doesn't cause cancer.
