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 girlfriend's Facebook comment...

Ex-gf made a comment on a mutual friend's status about being ****-faced immediately following a comment I made about something unrelated(almost certainly to make me jealous or get under my skin or something).

Thoughts on liking her comment to show her she's being dumb, to get her hamster spinning to show her I really don't care? Cause I know she'll know that I'll see it.
 

"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.

This is why i will never add even a significant other my Facebook. They just won't mix well among my friends (unless they met them all, as if). I can tell you she either:

a) Looking for your reaction
b) Looking for some contact
c) Looking to see your inner hamster

All for her inner hamster !

Simply ignore her or if you really want to cut her out of your life, wait a few weeks and block her so it will be less likely that you did it for that comment

Well lets look at things from her perspective for a second..

If she truly did post the comment just to get under your skin or get your attention, what would satisfy her objective? For you to acknowledge her distasteful little comment. You like it and she says "mission accomplished."

If she posted the comment randomly, with no intentions of getting under your skin.. then you liking her comment would make you look foolish. Youre giving her attention when she wasn't even working for it.

If you ignore the comment altogether, she will likely become a little frustrated and try harder, assuming getting your attention was her original intention.
 

"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.

*** on your hand and slap it around her face.
 

"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.
