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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Kinda gay I must say
 

"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.

Oh look, I found a prestigious list of writers.....who were a bit alternative.

Maybe someday you will make the list.
Lol. I'm already on a list.

Don't know why you hate on writers so much since you quote T.S. Eliot in your sig. Plus by dint of you expressing your thoughts to me via a computer you are by default a writer.

My translation of D'anger's post in bold:

Who is hating on writers? What masculine man wouldn't write poems for other men?

I was going to let this go and move on but that poem got to me so much I just had to have the last word. You know, like a woman.

I am so flattered by your obsession with me my tubby little friend. You have hurt me and undermined my fragile, feminine ego so much I just have to find a way to hurt you back. A picture of a random fat dude is the best insult I have.
There is nothing you can say to hurt me D'anger. I, the master wordsmith, am bulletproof to your words.

I have never met a poet who was not a raging reservoir of masculinity. !
There used to be:

Ted Hughes
Dylan Thomas
Hunter S Thompson
Charles Bukowski
Ernest Hemmingway
Christopher Marlowe
Lord Byron (Don Juan)
Sylvester Stallone
etc

It's considered gay to be a writer these days I agree. I will certainly do my best to put real men back on the writing map though.

Having said that lyricists such as:

Tupac
Ice Cube
Ice-T
Eminem
etc were the epitome of manliness so it depends who you're calling a writer.
