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.

Wow, this show is incredible. If you guys want a show to watch I highly recommend this one. Have any of you guys seen it?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah that's the truth. I thought the junkie girl was super cute as well, too bad she was a junkie (kind of a turn-off).

That show is a perfect example of how getting big from the ground up in the drug trade is an overall bad idea. I like that and Sons of Anarchy for showing stylized reasons why being a criminal is a sh*tty life but enjoyable to watch from the outside.

Yeah, it's fantastic. I like the overall tone.

I also like Dexter but lately it's jumped the shark with the whole incest angle and the changes in the character making him more sloppy and moral. It's a shame the first few seasons were amazing.
 

"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.

I love it... only seen the first 3 episodes though. I'm watching them on Netflix and they haven't added season 4 yet.

Incredible show, though.

Yeah I'm watching it on netflix too, just ended the 3rd season. I hope the 4th comes out quick because the ending was pretty suspenseful and I don't want to read what happens so I guess I'll have to wait.

San Jose California said:
I thought it was pretty gay, how, when Jesse was at the drug meeting where Gus handed him a gun, and Jesse made coffee, how after Jesse finished smoking the cigarette outside, he dropped it on the ground and then put it out with his foot. I mean, dude, this is a meth meeting, none of gus's henchmen security guards are gonna care about not being pollution friendly, and he's around a bunch of dirt so nothing will ignite because of the cigarette. He should flicked it a good distance or something and looked cool, considering this.

That scene is rather crappy, right up there with "if you could kill me... I'd already be dead!"
I don't know, the scene where Jesse comes to terms that he's the bad guy selling meth to the people in rehab was pretty intense.

Have you watched this from the beginning? You need to get in the flow of things and it makes much more sense. If you don't like the first episode, you won't like the show.
 

"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.
