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.

I came across this today. Cracked me up!

Today Budweiser Presents Real Men of Genius-- Today we salute you, Mr. Myspace Addict. You thought you could just log on once, but little did you know it would consume your life. Obsessively re-editing your page and Joining one pointless group was just not enough. Adding every person you never spoke to in high school just to be "virtually" popular. As if email wasn't enough to feed into your stalker-ish behavior. Oooo look at you with your 34, 593 "friends". So go ahead, crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Compulsive Message Checker Turned Myspace Psycho. It's too bad that you're not too popular at the bar, but in virtual reality, you'd be the life of the cyber party.

"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.

Bubba the fatfvck had a morning radio show where they parodied those and those were good too.
