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.

Interesting discussion..

I got a phone number off a 17 year old today! And no, I did not have any idea she was 17 years old. I thought she must have been 21 or something. She was obviously flirting with me.

I just turned 40 years old this year. Now I am not going to use the number of course.. and she had no idea how old I was.. she thought I was 25. She will never know my real age.. and I don't plan on dating her.. lol.
 

"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.

lol @ MrLuvr's encounter. I recently had an encounter that went the opposite way. Ran into a gal who knew me because I know her mom ... lol. She looked like she could be in her late teens but was actually in her mid 20s.

I have encounters with them all the time, and recently i've found myself attracted to one that isn't even 18 yet. I had no idea at first and one day she goes... I'm a junior in high school. So puts her at 17, or God only knows prob not even that. I dont keep track, but i'm sure to find out.

Anyway I get it from guys I work with, but this girl is just nice, funny, she smiles, full of energy, and one I could have a good time with. Something about her does it for me. She's cute as hell, and it drives me nuts she isn't 18.

So in my case i'm like you MrLuvr, i'm pretty much screwed for the time being. Doesn't mean I still dont talk to her or at least get her interested so by that time she's good to go, but I hate every minute I see this girl cause I want her.

And i'm the older dude who looks like i'm 18 so it always goes hand in hand. I attract them and get attracted to them, and then i'm usually screwed.

Girls I know would hate it if I eventually dated her down the road, and guys would think it rocks after it settles in and they get it through their head that I have her and they dont. The only reason they say anything. They know I could pull it off before they could.

Now I have to get this woman out of my mind which will be hard since I work with her and its not like I can avoid her, but damn it sucks.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
