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.

I just had my first practice for football today. Blistered, sore, and damn well tired I feel a sense of accomplishment making it through the day without feeling like dying. Seeing as the coach put me as a running back I think I'm in for a season full of running.

I think I can do the physical part, but I lack knowledge of the sport as a whole.

- Can someone explain to me in basic and short amount of words what each posistion's role is?
- What will my role as a running back be in depth?
- What posistions are familiar and what should I know about them.
- Any general tips for surviving my first season?

---------

Edit: Please! Please! Do not give me a link to the wikipedia articles, they're very vague and not too helpful for me.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Don't do something if you don't love it. Simple as that.

I never said I hated football, I just don't know what I'm doing.
 

"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.

As a running back, you need quick feet and balance. You should be able to lower your head, deliver a blow to the potential tackler, and then bounce off and keep running.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Of course guys like Self-Mastery wish they could go back to their senior year of high school. Senior year of high school was/is/will be the apex of many an American male's life. If not senior year of high school it will be college. I find that very sad.

Football is king in America. I find it hard to believe that a male would not understand the game, yet want to play it as a teen. If you love the game you should go for it. If you are doing it because of peer pressure you are making a big mistake. I think at least 60% of high school football players don't really love the game itself. They do it for stupid reasons like getting fat girls to like them (Reason #873 why I would never raise a kid in the USA). High school poisons the mind and soul.

I think I'm going to quit football. I have no passion for the sport, I think I just joined because of peer pressure.

"Oh man, your speed will ****in roxors in football, join man join"

Stuff like that convinced me to join. I was ill prepared and I don't think I like it.

I think another factor of my quitting is I have no clue what the **** is going on. Everyone else there watches football religiously and knows the sport in and out.

why are you being a wimp?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

A wimp as in doing what I really want to do instead of doing what's expected?
