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.

Everyone disagrees with me. It's infuriating!

It's seems like everytime i voice my opinion or whatever. Even if i'm positive i'm right, because i have more experience in the subject. Everyone seems to disagree with me. For example some stupid girl in my video arts class who never stops *****ing about **** wanted to add transitions inbetween the shots, but me who has been doing it for 3 years told her it looks weird, and then she asked a random first year guy, and he disagreed with me. I know it's a weird question, but i'd appreciate if you guys can help in any way you can.
 

"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.

got any other example? the one you gave could simply be the girl *wanting* her slides and the guy wanting the girl so he agreed with her; doesn't mean much. Do you have any concrete examples?

Also, on a sidenote, be more tactful when you disagree. Else people feel attacked

You're wrong.

OH C'MON, YOU ASKED FOR IT!!! :p

Seriously, it's only an issue if you make it one. You do what you feel is right and let the others do the same. If they do something different than what you would do, would it change your life?

Dude, you are SO wrong, it isn't even funny. Lol.

Of course, there are times when you have to be willing to TRY it to know. It can be infuriating when someone has a habit of just saying it won't work when they don't have any idea. Otherwise, if you're reasonable, no worries.


Heh. I had a stupid manipulative "goddess" wannabe (she didn't have much going on upstairs) cry - in a college class. It was kind of cool. I broke her brain. Of course, oon the other hand, she was manipulative and "hot" so I got a little crap for making the "poor girl" cry. But... I got to her, and I didn't let her get her way for once. It was kind of rewarding in a way.

And dude, sometimes you have to give in to the idiots, and let me tell you, videographers have a horrible reputation for being nonprofessional for a reason. I've worked for places that tried cheating me out of money, I worked for places that refused to listen to sense, and I improved the work on a few companies reputations.

But, they didn't act responsible, I'd get sick of the stupidity and lazyness, and I didn't stay long. It's not MY loss... but theirs.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
