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.

guess what guys? cocaine is ****in awesome. But DONT DO IT

I know this is probably obvious and you dont need me preaching but heres my story.

I started doing it my sophomore year. I had been drinking and smoking weed since 8th grade and i was starting to hang out around a crowd of kids that were a year older than me and i basically did it because they were doing it. The ****ty thing about coke is that it takes a while to get addicted to it... which ****s with your head. When youve been doing it every couple weeks for 3 months and you dont feel any more addicted to it than you do to weed... its easy for it to get out of hand.

long story short i got into a good college but only because I'm a good football player. I lost most of my real friends and had to earn them back. And I'm spending my last summer vacation as a high schooler in rehab.

you cant control it forever. im just lucky I didnt move on to the really nasty ****.

peace
 

"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I did it for a while. It's expensive as hell and you can't think right all time. Like you said. DON'T DO IT.

Drugs like that is only something I do a few times in a year maybe.

I've seen too many people and friends loose their life over harder drugs like that. Which, is why I know to only do it on a "special occasion." Or I've seen people smoke crack cocaine for their first time and the next thing you know... their full blown addicts after it.

The only drug worth doing is marijuana. Everything else is poison...
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

For those of you who are committed to never trying coke but wonder what you are missing, let me tell you that there are some people who really *don't* like it. I have tried it a handful of times when I was much younger, and each time I was left wondering why I had just paid twenty bucks for a sore throat and no buzz. So, if it helps, there is a chance that you are not missing anything fun. Coke and meth are both retarded drugs either way.

Ah, a sensible Dutchman.
My future superiors in the BMA/GMC would skin me alive for saying this, but weed, LSD and MDMA (Ecstasy) are substantially safer and less addictive than tobacco and alcohol. The hypocrisy of developed nations amuses me. The biggest earners for drug cartels are E and cannabis. Legalise them and make tax revenue, whilst crushing organised crime. Who cares if the country becomes a 'drugs capital'. It's all media hype.

As for coke and anything of the like - purity has dropped by 50% in a decade. I'll never go anywhere near that stuff.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If you don't think marijuana is poison, you've never been to an MA meeting. Smoking too much weed caused my friend to talk to himself, hear voices, and go to a mental hospital. I'm not kidding.
Impossible. Smoking weed does not cause people to start going crazy. Your friend probably had something else wrong with him because there is NO WAY and NO PROOF that marijuana causes people to go to mental hospitals.

Actually, there's evidence to suggest that smoking MJ increases your risk of developing mental disorders. Psychological addiction can, and is, a powerful force to be reckoned with.

MJ is bad for you, it does increase cancer risks, though this is in part to if you roll it up in tobacco paper.

Still, tobacco and nicotine are the greatest evils to human health. Until maybe a decade ago, tax revenues outstripped the cost to treat tobacco-related illness. Now treatment costs twice as much as gathered in taxes (in the UK). 3 guesses why it is only the past decade the government has 'cracked down' on smoking? And why very little is done to stop drinking?

Dude in the US its not the government's problem how much treatment costs, because the government doesn't pay for people's health care. Yet they still ban smoking in public and slap ridiculous taxes on cigarettes. The crackdown has occurred because politicians look like angles in the public eye when they "protect your children from the dangers of smoking" . We are voting away our own freedom.

Yeah thats a little off topic but I couldnt resist.
 

"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.
