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.

Ex calling me

Hey everyone,

I have a question about an ex that I went through a horrible break up over two years ago with.

She claims to have saw me at the gym. A few days later, she blows my phone up from a blocked number. I don't answer blocked calls so I hit ignore. Eight times later, I answer it and its her wanting to talk so I hang up on her mid-sentence.

I suspect that she called me a few nights prior to the psycho 'day' because I got a call from a blocked number that I mistakenly answered and someone was just listening on the other side.

What do you guys make of this? As far as I know, she's happily involved in a relationship. Why the **** would anyone want to talk to their ex and "see how they're doing" after things ended horribly?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yes, she pretty much dumped me. You know how breakups go...the back and forth **** went on and tempers just flared up and finally it was over.

I tried asking her but she gave me the dumb excuse that she just wanted to see how I was doing. I don't know of anyone that suddenly just blows someone's phone up just to see how they're doing...

Keep giving her the iggy button. She just wan't Validation that she made the better choice, in leaving you. Don't give her that satisfaction.... the other grass she's ****ting on is probably turning 3 shades of brown now. Like most AW that brake up, she's looking for some attention. Continue to improve in the gym and having your finances in order. She is seeing how much of a catch you were after the fact.... Too bad. Her ****ing loss...

That's right, since she saw you at the gym she wants to KNOW what's going on with you at this point in your life.

Not only that, if you would have decided to talk to her when she called you(wish no one should do under these circumstances), she would probably just interview you for information purposes just to satisfy her "curiosity".

We all know she's not curious, she simply wants to know what's she's missing. Obviously, that's not gonna happen.

These chicks are jokes. 8x in a row?
 

"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.

Yeah...and she claimed to be mature. In my experiences, mature women don't block their numbers and when they call, if you don't answer, they leave a message and that's that.

I have no interest in turning her into an FB. As you said before, it's dangerous and I don't want anything to do with her. Plus, it would give her the satisfaction of her knowing that I'm the weaker of the two.

Several months before this stuff that happened, I saw her when I was walking through a Best Buy parking lot. She jumped out of her boyfriend's car looking excited. When she called my name, I recognized it was her and kept on walking.

I know if I were her boyfriend and she acted like that in front of me over one of her ex's, I'd have to cut her loose...

Good advice, everyone. I just wanted to know the reasoning behind her actions. Simply put, she's just crazy...

Thank you all...
