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.

One of my best friends is getting married next year. He is 30, she is 23. Been together a couple years. I have shared a lot of deep conversation with this friend, and I would say he is pretty naturally red-pill even though I don't think he has ever heard it talked about.

This weekend I had the honor of being asked to be his best man, and of course I accepted.

The problem is, I just feel like there are a few red flags with his relationship. His woman does a few things that piss him off, and he is not sure how to get it under wraps.

for example:

-she hangs out with one of her single girlfriends too often, the girlfriend has tried to get her started smoking cigarettes, which he hates

-she smokes too much weed in his opinion

-her mom has a history of substance abuse, and I think he is afraid of her going down that path


Now, I like this girl. Overall, she is a cool girl but I just have a bit of a bad feeling in my gut. Some of their relationship reminds me of mine as it was about to fall apart with my ex-fiance.

I don't know if I should voice any of my concerns, or just STFU and let things go. I HATE to say it, but I will not be surprised if something happens before now and the wedding and she calls it off. Its just a gut feeling I have, I don't have any evidence to support it.

Do I just shut up, and have a talk with him?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yeah, we all have friends like that it seems. Without a doubt, the best thing you can do is STFU and just watch the train wreck. He'll just otherwise be offended and you'll look like the bad guy. Every man has to own and live with his decisions.

^This. He's not going to listen to you anyway. At BEST, he'll nod, say that you have a point, and then marry her anyway lol.

If he's a good buddy, I would still be there for him no matter what. But, he can make his own decisions.

It's tempting, but you don't want to be the one to plant a bad seed. Voice your concerns in a non confrontational way, and let him make his own decision.
