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.

Has any of of the guys here from Minn. ever been to Aqua Nightclub in Mpls? I've been planning on going this next weekend but want some of your opinions first.

Also, what is a chicks def. of "hot". I've looked it up but nothing. Cute comes up, but not "hot". Shes a bartender who's been eyeing me but im cautious about girls like that. Although, b4 i left she did give a hug!! Geez i've been out if the game too long!!:down:
 

"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.

I have not been to Aqua but I would recommend Deja Vu instead.

Eh, Aqua tries to be a "quality" club by enforcing an upscale dress code. I've seen people turned away for not dressing impressive enough. Envy is right there too and I'd compare the two. Personally I say that Envy has a better left-coast vibe plus better guest artist. The DJ from Paisley Park spins on the weekend.

Have you been to Valentino's in St. Paul yet?

Well, i guess i wont be going to Aqua then this weekend!!

I was thinking about Valentino's right after i wrote my 1st post.

In fact the girl who called me "hot" told me she is going to have her b-day there is a fwe weeks. Maybe i'll check it out then.

I'm getting bored and need a new place to chase tail, do u have any good suggestions Fransico? I'm 25 and tired of girls texting non-stop, adn their g-damn cameras now too! Insecure beyond belief i say.
 

"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.

It depends on your style. I like Aqua but Valentino's gives me more variety with several places to lounge and sarge in comfort. The women in both are top shelf in looks but I see the women at Valentino's as more friendly and playful. It's Euro for get ready to listen to trip-house. For easy pickups you could always go to Gabby's (that's a joke, I wouldn't go there without security and penicillin).

You could try out 414 in Minneapolis, it's fun but occasionally pretentious, kinda Karma use to be. Don't go to Karma though, it's gone WAY downhill. The only other two are Axis and the Annex, they're good to fallback on. Decent DJs, good bartenders, the girls are average and above.

You know what, go to Valentinos. You'll enjoy the variety.
