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.

Has anyone seen the new eHarmony commercial featuring the single mom telling viewers "I was a single mom looking for someone not only for myself but for my son" - then it cuts to the new boyfriend with his arm around her child.

Smart to take advantage of that market niche, but good lord will it make any self respecting man cringe.

And here's why we should embrace fathering their child :eek:

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think all of online dating appeals to emotionally damaged and entitled women, including post-wall single mommies. And the commercials usually feature a beta male with a goofy smile babbling something along the lines of "I was tired of being alone. Now I'm getting these silly butterflies in my tummy again!"

Very sickening.

Empower the deranged single mothers who are fvcked in the head, that cry about their ex and how it was all his fault. Very VERY few single mothers are good, and even then you're playing with fire by going out with them.

This commercial will pander to the egos of the fvcked in the head single mothers.

Not all single mothers are bad.
Facts : some single mothers now offer more than the self entitled blonde girl.

Companies will do anything to make money including appealing to all manner of desperadoes.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Funny I JUST saw that commercial today while walking past a TV at work and I was shaking my head laughing at that part. Basically the commercial was saying, "I'm a single mother who f*cked up, and I REALLY needed to find some desperate chump to help me... but not just any desperate chump, a desperate chump with some money who I could tolerate. And guess what, I found em! Thanks eHarmony! See girls, it can be done! And for all you desperate guys out there, you too can find a self-entitled financial leech with issues like myself! It could happen to you!" ... lmao

So what? The majority of divorced women in their 30's are single moms. Plenty of lonely men (men in their 30's and up) will have no problems dating a single mom. They are out to make money off people.
