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.

Divorce party? WTF?

The girl I'm seeing has been invited to a divorce party/celebration. In this case, It's a women only event to celebrate the divorce of one of the women in this group of friends.

Maybe I'm stuck in the past and totally behind the times, But I can remember when divorce was viewed as a tragic event, something you viewed as a failure, not a cause for celebration.

I decided to google "divorce party". Yes, it's really a thing. You get hits like: "5 ways to throw a successful divorce party". And: "The red hot business of divorce celebration". There are even books devoted to the subject...

Again: WTF??

"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.

Hmm, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing to be honest: I wouldn't have thought the majority of women do this because they're celebrating. To me it sounds like they're just trying to put a positive spin on a negative event.

I honestly don't believe divorce is pleasant for anyone, regardless of who gets the most at the end of it..

"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.

The day I got divorced 3 years ago, my buddies and I all met at our golf course. A beer a hole. Had 2 chicks lined up for afterwards.

Hell of a divorce party.

I think these divorce celebrations would be normal. IMO most divorces happen over a long period of time, the hurt and pain were long gone before the final documents were signed.

I was definitely ready to celebrate mine! I'm sure she did too.

Wish I'd have celebrated with a high class hooker though :)

But the type these chicks are doing, is a different kind of mentality that sux. Kind of in the same "fat girls are beautiful" sort of way.
More female ugliness.

It's BIG BUSINESS my friend. There are even a number of firms out there like this one: http://www.bblchurchill.com/borrowers/what-is-divorce-finance

Basically, they will loan a chick money upfront in terms of an advance, to pay for attorney costs, etc., and the firm will get paid back from a portion of the chick's financial RAPING of her husband.

Marriage is big business today. Ain't no love in that shyt. There's an industry of folks that get paid at the beginning (when you enter the marriage) and at the end (when you divorce)......and a lot of times it's the SAME PEOPLE getting paid on both ends!

One divorce attorney said that he smiles when he sees newly married couples because he sees them as inventory.
 

"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.

I celebrated my divorce as well. I got a whole bunch of people over for a potluck, bought fireworks, and had an extremely good time. Nothing wrong with celebrating it IMO.

Scaramouche,

Yes, exactly. I won't be getting married again, but it's definitely a potential indication of mentality.

Thanks for the sage advice.

Hehe, divorce party, huh.

I don't think that's an entirely a bad thing as diametrically it will lead society toward marriage funerals!
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

^^^ Never realized this was big business...damn...
Lawyer- sees them as future inventory LMFAO!!!
I'm sure he does!
Yes, when you guys get a chance, please watch Divorce Corp. I believe it's on Netflix, but you can also get the DVD. They go over (in full, with no smoke/mirrors, etc.) the overview of the Marriage/Divorce/Child Custody (Family Court) industry.

We talk about blue pill v.s. red pill, what we ought to be saying is uninformed v.s. informed. Hey, I'm nobody's God on here to tell you how to run your life. But if you decide to do ANY legal relationship with women and tie yourself to the Family Court.......you have significant chances of financial failure on top of psychological, emotional, and mental trauma. Some men flat out snap and KILL their wives, baby mommas, and themselves. Of course when they do that, the media/society in general will just say those men had "mental illnesses" because they refuse to focus on the FVCKED UP relations between Men and Women today.

We are in a Gender War. It's the worse it's ever been. There's no true love out here anymore, every chick that talks to you is looking to GET something from you or SCREW you out of something. They aren't looking to GIVE shyt.

Am I negative? Am I angry? Do I seem like a bitter MF'er? YES to all three! But when you show me that I'm inaccurate in my analysis, then I'll sit down, STFU, and have a Coke lol.

Looking for "love" in this market, is like climbing through a pool of snakes looking for that ONE special snake that won't bite or squeeze you to death.

I also got to taste the flavor of bankruptcy shortly after my divorce. At least it was CH13 and not 7 so I did pay a good part of my debts back over a three year period. But the one debt I couldn't discharge in my BK was the divorce settlement. Alimony and Child support are also non-dischargeable but thank God I had none of that

Ya, kill all them btches. LOL! Come on bro, chill out. When laws don't work in your favor, don't engage. Just don't marry them. Simple.

I think men and women go about this divorce party phenomenon differently. I haven't thrown a divorce party yet although I've been getting bugged to take a trip to Asheville, NC to ride the US's longest zip-line. I could also climb and adventure around their obstacle course in Swiss Family Robinson-like trees and hike the national forest there as well. I'm still waiting for my final declaration, yet have enjoyed rock climbing and hiking a ton this year with the social mingling. There's something amazing to be said about getting out there in the great outdoors, climbing high altitudes and seeking peace and freedom in a vast environment.

We should tell our exes that we should take the supposed 'national average" of how often married couples have sex (2-3 times a week) and add up ours (easy, once a month for 17 years in my case). And take the difference and charge her for how many dollars a good hooker would have cost to make up the difference every time. I know by the math that I would get a lot out of her that way Lol!!
