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.

First off, I'm 5'11, 127 lbs. Pretty friggin' lightweight.

I was being picked on today in History. My top 4 friends in that class of 16 all were pissing me off. I was told to STFU by these guys that usually are my boys when they were trying to watch a movie to answer questions. So I shut up. Then they start talking, and I tell them to STFU. Then I make a joke, and this hoe tells me across the room to STFU. So I just stared at her with a pretty pissed face. Then she makes the crybaby face to make fun of me. If she wasn't a girl, I'd have ****ed her up right there. Usually that girl is nice to me, and sucks my **** but she's got pissy lately at me. Anyway, my bros then proceed to start quietly say so only I can hear "I hear that kid Nobody sucks ****." "Yeah, he's sucked off the football team." So I'm pretty pissed. Then one of "boys" proceeds to use a pen to flick my ear. I totally spazed out, and didn't even think about it I just did it. I push this kid's desk into the wall and grabbed him but didn't hit him. Just threatened the **** out of him. My heart was pounding, I could feel the adrenaline and testerone flowing throughout my body. I scared the **** out of him. He then started "laughing", and 2 minutes later apologized and said "You probably had a bad day... sorry" then offered to give me answers to the movie. He was sucking the **** up to me. But I was so pissed, that I told him don't talk to me.

Good thing is that it was a substitute, and for whatever reason the sub did nothing.

Did I do the right thing? You think I'll be disrespected anymore? I don't want to do it anymore, but yo, I actually enjoy this feeling. I don't give a **** what people think anymore. I'm ready to fight even if people are bigger than me.
 

"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.

Remember, men and women respect power. Sure the BEST thing you could've done was tear the guys down with wit (that would've won more respect because you'd be turning the tables and making others laugh at them) but this route is still second best.

Making people laugh is the best way to get people to like you. Displays of power get people to respect you.

Personally, I would've gone with wit. But if you're not quick on your feet thinking and not that funny, then this was probably the best thing you could do, rather than sitting there like a puzzy.

Lucky for you, the sub didn't do anything. What an idiot. You're really lucky, but it would've been worth it (IMO) even if you had got in trouble.

Obvious answer is to weightlift. I'm a freshman, 15, 5'11, and 120-125 pounds. A regular monday-wednesday-friday lift schedule is doing me a lot of good. Football can be a b*tch sometimes but you gotta love the advantages.

And yeah, a 5'11 125 lb kid can play football when the school is as tiny as mine.

wow dude start eating more, that's really light.

it really depends on how people already look at you. but at least you showed that you weren't a push over.

anyways, it's really hard to make up witty comments when you're in a situation like that

Not really hard, not easy though. But the way most guys dress; they look like douchebags. It's pretty easy to make fun of their fashion sense or hairstyles, fake tans, popped collars, etc.
 

"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.

I think you should learn to control your anger. If you don't control your anger, your anger will control you. When you are angry, rage clouds all logical thought , and obviously, that makes it harder for you to think of witty things to come up with ;)

Anyway, if you don't care what anyone thinks, why'd you go ballistic at them?

I go to Catholic school. The only thing people make fun of me for is my nasly voice and my weight. Hair is spiked.

Learn to control my anger? Trust me, I've done that plenty before. I usually never get pissed, but I think if word gets around, I've gained a little bit of respect and people will think twice about annoying me as much as those guys did.

I do regret what I did, but I really don't think there was another way to handle it. I'm not quick with my wit if people are pissing me off, and they were pushing it further than anyone has done to me in years. It was time to put my foot down.

Well I can see your point of view, and although it may not have been the BEST way to go about it, if it works out, good job :)
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

My mates and i piss around all the time, and they used to get too far and keep pushing to see how lucky they got.

Used to.

Get pissed.

I mean, really pissed, raise your voice, hit something, break something, scare the sh!ts out of them, let them know you have had enough, game over.
