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.

My belly button has like this black clot-like thing in it. My dad said it was part of the blood clot from the umbilical cord.

It smells if I sweat a lot and now that i'm skinny, I can see it poke out sometimes. I want to get rid of it, but don't want to kill myself by messing up my umbilical schizz. Anyone else have experience withthis? Thanks.

PS. it's notl my belly button sticks out or anything. It goes inward, but its like half a pencil eraser sized black thing in there.:(
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You sure? I'm scared my stomach will burst open from my umbilical cord (cuz that's what your belly button is) and I'll ****ing bleed to death. That would suck so much ass:( .

Anyways, any other opinions? I'm not going to pick at it. I'm going to use the shower head and spray at it whenever I shower so gradually it might break apart by itself.:)

Use a Q-Tip and some warm water... you can't "untie" your belly button... :rolleyes: If you're old enough to post this, then you have no chance of it just popping open, regardless of how much you fool around with it.
 

"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.
