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.

It's coming. Get mentally, physically, and spiritually prepared for it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

They already are and have been occurring for months now. Way late to the party.

Go shopping much?

Hasn’t it been the entire pandemic?
Pretty much. Always seems some shelves are virtually empty or things are out of stock on a seemingly rotating basis.

The last one I heard was that Mexico was having an avocado shortage and they would be harder to find over the next few months
 

"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.

What I mean is that it is going to get a lot worse.

What kind of source do you want? There's a fertilizer shortage which means that crop yields will be lower this year and much lower next year.

Food prices have been the lowest since the pandemic. Check out your local grocery store if you’re not in a third world country.

The doomsday survival prepper community has been saying it’s TEOTWAWKI since the 70’s.

Many people fetishize a collapse - financial markets, social collapse, grid down, EMP, killer viruses…theres a scenario for all of them.

In any case it’s not good enough to just survive you have to live as well. A lot of the prepper community is in stage 5 adrenal failure because they’re always in fight or flight, it’s a horrible way to live.
 

"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.

Imo there's going to be a lot of people with adrenal fatigue, and it's a condition that sucks lol.

Nice to see it getting some recognition.

I agree. There's no point on stocking up anyway, if we reach the point of global food shortages there will be mass rioting and looting and food will become the least of your worries. If anything, it'll make you a more viable target.

It's been going on for a while now. Have a relative that works for a large company delivering a popular snack to stores. Often he gets way less carts than what he orders to deliver.

I once spent an entire summer eating nothing but canned tuna, ramen noodles and chicken breasts .... I will be fine.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've been OMAD since February, some days I skip food completely. I eat so little
now that I will be quite happy with meagre rations if that's all I can get.

Mhhh.... I didnt know about that and I live in Mexico. I have never had any trouble actually finding avocado, but now that you mention it, most people been complaining for a while that the price of avocado has been increasing too much.

@Plinco, yes there will be shortages on certain food and consumer items occasionally. This is expected coming out of the worldwide Covid production and transport disruptions. I also hear China isn’t even back up to full production speed yet…

On a personal side note, a favorite of mine, Butterball mixed white/dark turkey roasts haven’t been available to purchase in my area for over a year now and I hear T-day turkey’s will be much more expensive this year, but I’m not starving or stocking up on beans, beer, rice, and ammo yet …
