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.

"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.

Actually yes there is a good chance you are/were addicted. You might want to ask yourself if you feel good watching porn (seriously) or if you feel it is rather a waste of time? Do you have an empty feeling after hours of watching porn? Do you feel that you would rather like to do others things with your time but just can't seem to stop, saying you'll do this and that later? Do you regret watching porn after you come to a release?

I am not a psychologist nor any sort of medically trained person, but if you have any feelings that make you uncomfortable after / while watching porn, then maybe you should seek help.

At your age, you are probably still in school, just as I am. Do you have counselling?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

no i don't have counseling. and i do feel guilty after i finish but the feeling while doing it are so pleasurable that i want to so bad again. i just get frustrated when i can't get the nerve to talk to women or ask them out, let a lone be with one of them. thinking about looking at porn later at night gets me excited when im in a bad mood, but i always felt guilty afterwards. i would be like i'm never going to do it again afterwards but then i would. then one day i just quit. it wasn't really affecting my life in any way. i was still going to school and getting good grades and still keeping a job. im thinking of giving in to my cravings and watching some porn b/c so many guys do it. if i choose to though i will make myself a limit of 1 hr a time every other day. thanks for your help.

yea well it doesn't help when i never get any.

stop jacking off

i just get frustrated when i can't get the nerve to talk to women or ask them out

stop jacking off. Seriously, it will help a lot with your nerve and women.

There are two problems porn presents - wasted time and loss of the horniness that makes you pursue women.

“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.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

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

I only use porn when I need a quick "relief" session. and only a few minutes. Now a couple years ago when I was about 15 and 16 I would spend a couple hours a couple times a week watching. But I was a young horny kid with not much to do when I didn't have a license

Anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours....when I first got online and with the novelty of having endless porn piped right into my house, went 'till 6:00 a.m. ...that's from like 10:00 the night before (yeah....a little problematic).

Average....about an hour.

I'd love to get off this stuff. It's bull****. It wastes too much time. The longest I've gone cold-turkey was a month....a couple of times. But it's not like external addictions. The body isn't born needing to drink, smoke, or shoot up regularly, but getting horny...that's natural
Then again....it's just another chemical. The only difference is the brain is making it's own drugs. It's self-medication. It's emotional isolation/insulation.
It's somewhere to hide....hide from fear--or because of it... hide from failure--or the threat of it.

I've been getting much better at getting up and walking away...without ejaculating. I just get up, go to bed, or go outside, or post/write e-mails to friends. It's a good thing to be able to catch myself, and talk myself into walking away from it for the time being. It's getting a little better.

I think this is what you really need to work on, not the porn-watching itself.

"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.

Call me weird, but I havn't really checked out any porn since I was in my teens. I don't even jerk off anymore unless I'm away from my girlfriend for a while. Even then, I just think about things I shouldn't mention here (memories, mostly). Sometimes I'll jerk off before we have sex so I can last longer without shooting my wad. If I weren't ****ing my girl four times a day, this might be different... but the difference would most likely be another woman.

Yeah I think this is a fairly common question actually for young men if they have been looking at porn too much. Some people talk about desensitization. My advice is, if using your imagination doesn't come as naturally for masturbation, maybe cut back.

Or if your collection is more than 10% of your total hard drive capacity...of course now with flash video sites that metric isn't really useful
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
