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 look for a smooth ride and power in a car. I have enough funds to $60 - 70K.
Do you own a house?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

if you have that much money available to you and you don't have a house, and you are looking at a car, you really, really n eed to do some soul searching.

Unless you are well off financially, there's no need to spend $60-70k on a car

i'm not one to tell a guy how to spend his money... if he likes nice cars, hell.. i spend more money on expensive clothes than I should, buy clothes I haven't worn yet, etc.. everyone has their vices.

But I will say, buying a CAR, not one to just get from a to b, but a REAL, 50k plus car, without having some serious equity in your house, is asking for it.

that is the difference between making a living, even a good one, and building WEALtH.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I don't like the current 5 that much, so I'll say the M3 or even a used Porsche 911, or the 335i, but if it's between those two, easily the 5. Benzes are overpriced, underengineered, and keep many a mechanic shop in business. Their biggest selling point is the logo - beyond that, you can do far better.

Maintenance still the factor. European cars are considerably more expensive than American or Japanese when it comes to maintenance and repairs.
Well, we were talking specifically about diesel vs. gasoline (engines) and the cost of gas. As far as maintenance is concerned, it has been well documented that diesel's require less maintenance. There's no big secret why; they have fewer parts and are just less complicated.

The overall car I have no comment on.
