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.

Well, what do you think about these teams?
 

"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.

I am a Buc fan. I am not a fan of little Chrissy Simms or of Gruden. Monte Kiffen's defense is keeping the team together, but even they got screwed by the ownership because they would not consider re-signing John Lynch, who has done very well in Denver.

I don't know, the bucs have momentum right now, I think it is still within their grasp.

What I hate most is how the announcers will not shut up about how great Simms is. They are just buddies with his daddy. He throws the season away, and first thing the announcers say is how good the Bucs will be next year with Simms. Simms could not win this game, even though his team had the best playoff performance ever by a defense. All he had to do was not lose them the game, but that is exactly what he did.

Well, The Bucs are out. That sucks. Sims threw away their last chance.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah, Simms choked big-time.

I figured the Skins might be a sleeper team, too.

I say the Bears go to the big game. Winning it is a whole different matter all together, though.

I like the bears over the skins any time.

I was glad to see the Skins win. I cannot stand TB, except for caddy. I hated that Jax loss to NE. This year is really a toss up. Im for either Skins, Bears, Broncs, or Hawks. If I had to pick two favs I'd go with Broncs and Bears. If Bears and Broncs make it then im screwed, lol.

"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.

I don't hate TO like many people. In a way, I admire him for challenging an entire NFL team to a fistfight. He has cahones, as you South Americans say.

If it was my team, I would fire Simms and Gruden, and make Monte Kiffen head coach and let Tim Rattay play QB. Then spend money to replace the talent in the secondary that was lost when Lynch left. An experienced qb and secondary will yield a positive turnover margin, which is what wins ball games. Turnovers were all the Redskins needed to win. Offense is not required to win football games.

I wouldn't fire Gruden, but I would consider firing Simms. He threw away the game(no pun intended). But florida coaches have been making bad decisions lately. In the Jags-pats game, i would have never let Leftwich start, due to his injury, that was just stupid. Also, the linebacker that had the cast on his right hand should not have started either. I don't know what the Jags coach was thinking. These guys can't play effectively with just one limb.
