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've been with this girl for a little while now and last night we were chillin at my house and the subject of drugs alcohol etc. came up. now, I'm a good kid (4.5 GPA never smoked or drank in my life) and she said that she'd been at parties before where there's been alcohol or weed or whatever there. All I did was roll my eyes and i kept saying how bad i thought it was. this whole time she was quick to say how she wasn't a part of it or she didn't do that kind of thing anymore or whatever just cuz she knows how i am about it and she was tryin to make it look like she's good enough for me :up: . so anyway the end of that subject began to roll around and i said "you better not do anything like that anymore or i'll kick your ass to the curb" half jokingly half seriously. I think i may have appeared slightly out of my element (which i was) but i'm just wondering what the right thing to do in this situation is.
 

"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 mean dumping a girl for being a pothead i can understand, same if she always wants to get drunk. but casual drinking never hurt no body.
sorry, cant answer. i think u did fine..i mean w/e happens happens, it skinda pushy and most people dont go for that(ex: my ex hated that I smoked, too bad i still did while dating her, and just never told her until after i quit.)

its all right what you did...

you have a standard about women (in this case they shouldn't be a pothead) and thats good. Shows you got something and will not accept every $hit in life.

i dislike girls that i want to date that i find out later smoke. smoking just grosses me out. thats a standard i have on women. if they smoke i dont care how hot they are i wouldnt date em. i can be friends with people who smoke. but i just cant date someone who does. this girl i am seeing she went to a club and a friend of hers asked her outside. she was smoking and her friend gave her a cigarette she smoked it. when she came to school i was hugging and kissing her and i noticed a faint smell of cigarette in her hair. i said your hair smells like cigarette. she said my friends were smoking. i said you smoked? she said only 1. i just looked at her and kept my mouth shut with no expression on my face. afterwards she started asking my friends if i was mad at her. she came upto me and asked me are you mad at me. i said wel talk later. she pulled my arm and told me. your mad arent you. i said wel talk about it later i have to go to class showing no emotions at all. afterwards i met up with all the guys and she came. i said hold up i gotta take a leak. then she said uhh me 2. so i was walking in the hall and i stoped her. i said. dating a girl who smoking groses me out. it disgusts me and i wouldnt date a smoker. even if they were just a social smoker. I cant be with somebody who destroys there body little by little with every cigarette. it disgusts me. and if your going to continue then im cutting this relationship. she said no its ok. il stop if you dont want me to smoke. i promise il stop. and i could tell she really meant it.

all im saying is if you want to create a relationship with a girl please let them know your standards on woman so that you wont end up getting with an alcoholic or pothead, smoker, whatever.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
