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.

"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.

"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.

NASCAR is overrated. Come back when she wins a F1 race.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I stand corrected. My second sentence still holds true, though. :D

Well this is enough to piss off any misogynist. Keep in mind she is just ONE woman who got a win. You can always find a man and more than one who can beat women at one of their games :D .

In all seriousness though I think she is pretty hot. I think she gets treated like a princess in a man's sport, but a man almost never is treated kindly in a woman dominated field. Just wanted to point out who the real haters are :p .

Come on Danica, lets win them all baby:up:
 

"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.

Yay, she drove in 300 circles and won.....
Try 300 circles@ over 200 mph, side-by-side with about 30 other cars all going the same speed, trying to get around your ass, and a constant threat of death at every second...

Try to drive a car that weighs only 2400 pounds with a 1,000 HorsePower, you wouldn't be able to make one lap, lol

Race-car drivers have way more balls then any other athlete in exsistence,oh and I say athlete, because they sit in a car wrestling it at over 200 mph, hot, concentration, quick reflexes....

Oh, young man, Danica did more than just win, she fought a duel to the grizzly end, and she kicked the enemies ass!:up: :p

Please. Racing is an elitist sport that doesn't have any athletes. If you have that right last name or right connections, you get to learn how to train to be a race car driver. And, of course, it will most likely work out since any healthy individual can do it. Of course it seems a bit of a conundrum in Nascar since there you have elitist rednecks.

It certainly isn't like basketball or football where practically everyone's tried it, and you end up with truly the best possible people playing those sports.

And people lap these cars all the time; every day joe's. There are places you can go to pluck down several hundred to do exactly that.

Or wins any race where it's necessary to make a right turn.
