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 am not usually interested in the all the Hollywood gossip, but it seems that for a long time - until he got married - Clooney had been a MGTOW icon, so I think he deserves to be discussed.

Sources say that Amal and George are gearing up for a $300 million dollar split. After two years of marriage, the couple is arguing non-stop and over everything, from their living arrangements to their future family plans. Reports indicate that one of their biggest on-going arguments was over starting a family.

George has made it clear that he’s not interested in fatherhood while Amal desperately wants to get pregnant. After two years of marriage, she feels that if she doesn’t get pregnant now, it certainly won’t happen in the future. That’s why she’s been pressuring him to get her pregnant, even though he is completely opposed to having children.

If that weren’t enough, Amal’s spending habits have also become a huge problem for the couple. She’s gotten accustomed to George’s Hollywood lifestyle and George apparently has had enough of her diva demands.
Who wants to bet that she has been skipping her "Pill" days? In any case, I interpret her having "gotten accustomed to George's Hollywood lifestyle" as meaning that Clooney will be starring in a lot of stupid but well-paid films to meet his alimony payments. Will we be seeing "Ocean's 20" in a few years?

"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.

Goodnight and good luck is one of the greatest films ever made. Coupled with the American, up in the air and Syriana (among others) he has more than earned, my unrelenting praise.

He deserves better.

Yes, when I saw he was marrying her, it was like: WTF?

He can have any woman in the world and he chose her?

Wonder if he had a prenup.

"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 don't know why you guys are so surprised by this. Just because Clooney is rich and famous does not mean he's smart.

Maybe it's because of the pressures of being a celebrity. But, I don't know of any currently active Hollywood Stars that don't or wouldn't get owned by women.

I can't figure out how they both missed the major deal-breaker of the kids issue.

Each one must have thought they could convince the other one about their stance on children.

That is one thing you can't compromise on. It's not like you can be 50% pregnant.

If Clooney doesn't want children he should get snipped. End of story. Otherwise he's at risk financially every time he has sex.

"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.
