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 was just glancing over JPforTally's thread about how Valentines Day is a holiday for chumps, paying out for women. I always bought my boyfriend's nice gifts, dinner and such. Are you guys telling me that your girlfriends aren't doing ANYTHING to make you feel special???

If they did get you something, what was it?

If they DID NOT get you anything, what do you wish you got?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Just a couple of invitations for a post Valentines weekend get together. I'm guessing that these women didn't want to pressure me into thinking that we're exclusive and had to do an "official" Valentines get together. It's so much easier when they are trained. ;)

But that's my point... Why do you have to get somebody something on this stupid made up holiday?

I never said women don't get men anything - though from my experience women usually aren't as obligated to get the man as expensive a gift, if anything at all. I just said that most men go through the entire hassle not because they want to - but because they feel they have to in order to avoid strife.

Only twice in my life I have had women send flowers to me in the office. It was kinda cool. Oh yeah, a woman did leave some candy and a card at my desk yesterday.

My ex-gf ALWAYS gave me presents. Even on ordinary days.

I almost never gave her anything. Not because of "playa skillz" or anything, I was just too fvcking broke! She knew it. She paid concerts when I did not have the cash, movies, etc.

It's a giving frame I guess. She was also VERY good in bed, like she loved to please me. And took care of me when I was sick.

Yes, it is a giving frame. :D

She got me a bunch of little things. Mostly personal and inside joke kind of things. She bought plastic handcuffs from the 99 cent store, a small cheap box of chocolates, a box of the candy - nerds to joke that im a nerd, a big chocalate fish in a box that says "your a keeper" and a frame with a picture of us in it.

She got me a Gen 5 Ipod.

I got her some plants for her balcony - she just moved. I figured they would last longer than flowers - and picked up ther dinner tab.
 

"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.

I had a girl buy me a $100 Fossil watch. I didn't get her anything. Kinda felt a little bad for a minute. But then I remembered I gave her one of my rings I've had for like 6 years. It cost me about $10 back in the day.

GGTW
LOL.

Gimme the girl's number.
I got some quarters I need changed into $100s.
