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.

Are umbrellas okay style?

So I'm out today and it's raining so I brought a little umbrella I have with me so that I can keep my hair looking fresh. But is it bad style to be a man walkin about with an umbrella?
 

"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.

Are you singing in the rain? HAHAHA

You guys need to quit being so insecure and worrying about sh1t. If you want to keep dry use the umbrella. You shouldn't care about what other people think about you. Who cares about what strangers on the corner think about you. I would rather keep dry to where I can game chicks during the day instead of looking like a mess because I was afraid to be seen walking with an umbrella. Why do you think they make them for? Guys who succeed with women do what they want to do and they do it.

Good point. I am not insecure, I'm just interested in the style aspect more than anything but I think your absolutely right.

Definitely a sign that you are gay. (Sarcasm)

I'm in Manhattan. When it rains or might rain, most men carry anything from a pocket umbrella to something that would cover a golf foursome.

This ain't Dodge City.

Do try to concern yourself less with how fresh your hair looks. Sounds a bit 'metro '.
 

"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.

Who or what gave you the impression that a man carrying an umbrella is "gay." Unless of course you're talking about a parasol, then it would be hella gay.

That's ya boy's Rex's umbrella and I paid $110 for it three and half years ago. It's been through Sandy and a severe NorEaster. After getting utterly frustrated with inferior quality of cheap $5, $10, and $40 umbrellas, I finanlly said "F*ck it," and I bought a high end umbrella.

I bought this umbrella at a shop called Rain or Shine in Manhattan, http://www.rainorshine.biz/ about two blocks away from Grand Central Terminal, mainly because if was ever broken, I could have it repaired, and believe me, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life.

If your worried about an umbrella appearing effeminate, get one in like this one.

That's Winston Churchill and some other cat on their way to Parliament, considering how much it rains in England, I wouldn't think that men in the U.K. would think carrying and umbrella is gay.

I never said that I was worried about looking gay. That being said, I like to harness an aura of manliness as well.
