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 had an interesting post about reading the Holy Bible. It was only informational. It was only there for folks who were interested in finding an easier Bible to read. It wasn't even controversial.

It would be nice to at least be warned or told why your post was deleted.

So, was there a reason at all?


This is the "Anything Else" forum.

That means ANYTHING else.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The post wasn't in any way trying to do any soul winning or anything like that. I'm not even a devout Christian. I have taken some interest in the Bible, but I find it hard to understand until I read "The Message". That's all it was.

No controversy.

Oh well.

Point me to those rules. I'd like to read them.
 

"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.

It was in the rules that you clicked that you agreed to abide to when you signed up for the site.

(ps I just double checked and only the political reference is in there but its been a widely known rule that religion is not an acceptable topic for the exact same reason)

Hey join the deleted posts club! I wasn't even remotely-controversial when the kings of the DJ food-chain decided to swoop down on mine! FORREST GRIFFIN IS FREEDOM, may the underdogs always have their day.

Reading a book doesn't constitute it's a religious thread. It's a book that's sometimes difficult to understand, and it was only to inform those who are interested in reading that book.

So, being DJ is about being PC? That's ignorant.

Yeah, but no matter how innocent it starts, something eventually gets said that gets everybody up in arms and then it turns into a big flaming holy war.

if the thread has any kind of religious name, or just has "religion" in the title...

people will come in and start bashing religion instantly, mainly christianity.

i don't see why you can't have a religious thread. people who are prone to bashing irrelevantly can just simply not click the thread. some people just want an religious person's point of view tied in with the topic of this site, not a random person coming in and trying to disprove the religion out of the blue... but adding a hint of relevancy so they don't get called out on it.

it's totally not suave to be religious i guess.
 

"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.
