People have been saying this every generation for hundreds of years if not longer.
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.
Anyone scared to get old?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

To be fair, it's no guarantee you're gonna live that long anyway so you might not even need to worry about getting that old
you spend more effort on your inner life and enjoying people. The stuff you never had time for. My father is at the end of his life. You can see he is scared sometimes but not all the time. My ambition is to have his calm and acceptance when my time comes

Is he religious?
"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.

In some ways a quick sudden death is better than being old and detoriating...

Buy plenty of pyjamas & comfy slippers If you’re worried about getting old & it’s already started be thankful for the opportunity. Many people don’t make it. Take it in your stride & do it gracefully. Stay as fit as you can. Keep your teeth in good condition & if you’re losing your hair shave your head. A lot of men let themselves go way to early because they think they’re getting too old. Embrace it.

Nope I have the balls to shoot myself if it gets that bad
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Especially the Roman Stoic philosophers. They talk a great deal about old age and death. " 'Rehearse death.' To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave."
Personally, I'd rather go out with a bang than a whimper. When I become too old and feeble and have outlived my usefulness I will hopefully commit suicide or die pushing myself to my limits. In the mean time I will surely do everything I can to stay as fit and healthy as possible. I have every intention as being as strong and capable in my 40s and 50s as I am now.
Too many people just give up on taking care of themselves, their mental and physical health detoriorates, and they cling to life until their last breath. A wretched, pathetic existence in my opinion.

I'm 59. Some of you sound like bitches. Don't be such bitches. Exercise daily, yoga and cardio are great for any age. They will keep you strong, fit, balanced and flexible. And yoga classes are great for getting female attention. Those bitches will lust after you, even bitches in their 20s if you're in a college town. There is no good reason other than lazieness, why you can't be strong, fit and active well into your 80s when you fall over dead if you'll just get off of your ass and stay off of it.
