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 have a friend who I met at university this year. He's a decent guy, women think he's good looking etc. But, he doesn't get laid. Why's that? Because he's AFC, very, but he's an AFC with a bad attitude.

I told him that I was going to a dance club, and invited him. I told him there was lots of women there etc. He refused. Why? Because he said it was a "chav club" and "only losers and people with no identity go there".

I went and had a great time.

Now, he sat at home, alone. And he complains that he can't get laid! We clearly see his problem.

I realised here, that this was an example of what I call "don't moan, join in!"

You may not think that you will like something, but until you've done it, you don't know, do you? If you don't like it, you don't have to do it again. And you might even enjoy it, giving you something else to do more often and become a more varied and fun person.

The second half is moaning - moaning is unattractive. I personally hate everything sci-fi. That doesn't mean I have to announce this fact every five minutes, does it? So, don't moan.

See a new experience as an opportunity, not a misery.

Another point to the UK based people - never use the word "chav". It's irritating, especially when used in a sense that it's not meant to, such as "chav club". Also, the girls in "chav clubs" are far better looking than their equivilants in rock clubs - whats the fun of looking at her tits when she's talking to you if she's wearing a hoody?

My LTR wants to go to Skegness tomorrow, because it's meant to be warm weather. I'd rather stay in bed. But, I'm going - I've never been to Skeggy before, it'll be a new experience.

Don't moan, join in.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

from what I understand of the brits, chav is basically the brittish word for wigger. so that leads me to believe that it's some sort of hip hop club where Ali G impersonators show up.

who knows man, their steering wheels are on the right side of their car. good luck figuring that sh!t out

You might want to change your motto to "don't complain, join in." It didn't rhyme in the first place, and moaning is something people do during sex, which might confuse some people.

In fact, that very confusion is why I clicked on this thread. I was like, "If I'm moaning, haven't I already joined in?"
 

"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.

You are right. People who whine and feel sorry for themselves without doing anything to change it are their own worst enemies. Nobody likes people like this either as they drag everyone down.

I have friends like this and they're 30+ year old virgins. Actually, I should say former friends as I gave up on them a long time ago.
