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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"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.

Haha! I agree.Originally posted by Le Parisien
Asking this kind of question and giving your answer to the question already places you in the AFC category.
Actually, it's pretty normal for guys who first become aware of the idea of what an AFC is to become hyperaware of AFC characteristics in themselves and others and label certain things "AFC" and avoid those things.
When I first got here a few years back people would always post topics like "What's the most AFC kind of music?" From there it went to discussions about whether certain fictional characters like Peter Parker or Anakin Skywalker were DJ's or AFC's. Anyway, it was kind of funny.
But, like I said, it's a normal stage to go through.

Completely off-topic, but Peter Parker is actually supposed to be an AFC. They created him that way so he would appeal to the people that buy the comics (the majority of which are probably AFC's). Marvel Comics wanted people to be able to relate to Spiderman more than DC Comics' superheroes such as Batman or Superman, who display more alpha male traits.Originally posted by SexPDX
