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.

Gay Adoption

"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

hard question- I think chinese babies should not be able to be gaydopted but korean ones should cause there are so many of them who noone would take care of if they skipped over the gays who are trying to adopt and pretend to have a next generation ...

I personally would not want to be adopted by gays.
 

"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.

Maybe in San Francisco people are ready for that, but I think anywhere else, one would doom the kid to a lifetime of perpetual teasing. It makes me think of the Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

I'm against. I'm not at all homophobic and I don't buy into the religious/moral arguments. But I believe a child needs input from a strong male and a strong female model in order to achieve a psychological balance. I know that's not always possible, but I doubt many people would choose to be a single parent.

I also believe that a child with gay parents (especially a boy) is going to get bullied so badly at school for it, and no one should be underestimating the damage of bullying. No child should have to endure that.

It's a nice thought for an ideal world, but not practical in this one.

I'm against it, period. No need for explanation, the explanation is their behavior.

As long as the kid doesn't grow up purchase a gun and pop caps in my a$$ for my "kicks", then I could care less if they were raised by gay people or wolves.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I wouldn't really mind, people are just people, if two Homosexual parents wanted to adopt, let them, it's not a "sick crime". They just want to have a child, but cannot show attraction, or is unable to show attraction towards a person of the opposite sex.

I happen to be Bisexual, and let's face it, we live in a society where no one really cares anymore, if you are straight or not, Just don't go and public humiliate yourself and/or others. Why bring someone down for the way they are, you are only going to get judged later on anyways, So the next time you see two guys kissing, or two girls kissing, go about your own business, they are only doing what feels right to them. No harm in it.

The only way this would matter is if you were gay...and wanted to adopt. I don't think there are very many gay, family oriented guys on this site.

(Personally, I think gay guys should adopt little girls, lesbians can adopt boys. It works it self out in an ironic sort of way.)

I thin adoption should be banned. Orphaned kids should be placed into special government centres where they can be trained to be soldiers. Its a win-win situation!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
