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'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 almost stayed home but decided to hang out with my buddies at my friend's pad. Nothing big, just the three of us but we drank and laughed. It's something. Sometimes you need to appreciate what you have... if that's family, then great. That's more than a lot of guys have.

This year I made it a point to actually enjoy my family during the holidays. Yeah, I wish this year I had a girl or whatever, was doing more exciting things... but my family cares about me and I value them more as I get older. As men we have to focus on our strengths and appreciate what we have...no matter how small it will seem. We have to build on something.

And you do that by seeing what you take for granted as a blessing. Then you're less needy in life. Which makes you more attractive. Which opens the floodgates. All a state of mind.

lol ken, just read that other thread. It sounds like your whole family is kinda f*cked up.

I stand by my advice that New Year's parties are meaningless. New Year's is an excuse to have fun, not a mandate. The only mandate is to reflect on the past twelve months, commemorate the start of a new year, and maybe make plans on how to improve things over the next year.

That being said, it sounds like your incident with your idiot family members (who you should've beaten the crap out of) was over 3 months ago. You oughta start getting some friends by now. If you don't have any, it probably means you're not getting out and socializing enough. Find some ppl at your school to hang out with

I was supposed to go to a huge house party that was a four hour drive from where I lived. Half way there my front tire blew, which sent me into probably one of the scariest spin-outs in my entire life, right into the opposing traffic lane. I am all right but my car isnt, and I barely managed to make it back home.

So yeah, I spent New Years Eve alone as well, but to hell with the partying and getting drunk. I am just happy to be alive!

On a similar note, I find New Years Eve to be much overrated as well. I used to be in a panic whenever I did not have plans for that night, until I realized that there are 364 other days in which you can celebrate, so why let one night dictate to you wether or not you feel like a loser?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah plus these traditions we have. Ok it's been a year. Tomorrow is a NEW YEAR! Well, it's another day, just like yesterday. Celebrate every damn day.

This is also something I think about when it comes to the weekends... people live for the weekend and the rest of the week they hate. Why should any day be any worse than the one before it?

if you're not going out on New Years Eve because you don't have any friends, that's one thing.

if you're not going out on New Years Eve because it's just another day for you, it's not worth the hassle with the crowds, the cops, the checkpoints, the bs, and really couldn't give a flying flip, that's another thing.

for me...i really don't care about New Years Eve anymore. been there, done that. besides Times Square, i live exactly one block north of the biggest New Year's Eve party in America--the Pasadena Rose Parade route, Old Town scene all nighter--over 1 million people.

but it's quiet time for me. while everyone else is partying their azzes off, i am officially checking off what i did for 2007 and pat myself on the back sipping excellent champagne by my lonesome, going over the misc items i need to tie up, and...

officially figuring out what i need to do to make 2008 just 10% better than 2007. not shallow goals or superficial resolutions, like all the other suckers out there...but verifiable RESULTS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
