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.
Do you think that this woman would make a good wife?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I give her credit for bucking the trends, taking risks and trying something for herself. I think where she f*cked up was trying to do things that had been done 300 times before, by all those other teachers. She didn't find any way to stand out from the crowd. And sure, plenty of entitlement sprinkled in there....I like how she got fired from her job, rather than have a set of balls and quit, and dedicate herself 100% to yoga.
People often fail due to lack of a plan and/or lack of innovation. She was obviously the latter.

Yeah & NYC is a REALLY bad market to get into something like that b/c it's too saturated. There's probably 10,000 or more yoga instructors in the NYC area all competing for the same customers. She woulda likely been better off to start off in a smaller town. Always research the competition when you're looking to start a business in any market. If it's saturated then you're likely going to fail unless your product is extremely innovative and your competitors are offering nothing like it.speed dawg said:
