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.

Does having nothing in common with women really matter?

They're all into clubbing and top 40 pop and I am not. Can I still bang them?
 

"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.

Pretty much what Mike said.

Attraction is about attraction which is all you need for a sexual partnership. Common intersts are important for relationships.

Where people get in trouble is confusing the two. You can have a great sexual partnership with someone you don't have anything in common with but don't fall in love and try to make a relationship work because it likely won't.

reminds me of a 19 year old chick i dated, she likes listening to rihanna while i bang her, as i listen to slayer in my ipod while i seasoned her abbys. We're not completely in common but she's so hot i gave her an exemption.

lol Slayer. Will they really let you listen to your iPod in the sack? I wouldn't even try.
 

"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.

Sometimes a guy has plenty of common interests with a female. They like many of the same things. The guy is convinced that she is perfect for him. But he's in friendzone because she isn't physically attracted to him. She sleeps with some guy that she has little in common with because he makes her gina tingle.

Of course, as noted above, we are talking about flings here. For a relationship, you need attraction and hopefully some things in common.

Having things in common with a woman is important if you want to be her friend....

In fact if I find a girl likes something that I don't, I make fun of it...I do this often.

I had nothing in common with my last Fvck Buddy aside from enjoying to fvck. Other then that everything about us was different. If you want to potentially date or if your dying to be in the friend zone then ya, having things in common will definitely help.

like everyone else said, common interests only matter if you want a lasting relationship with them to work.

if not, then you could be complete opposites and still have fun for weeks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

To be honest, yes and no. If you guys have common interests but don't see eachother as LTR's, (they don't possess certain traits) they are only good for FRIENDS and FwB! We all make friends with some similar interests anyways
