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:

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.

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.
