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.

Brett Cooper is a 22 year old conservative female with a YouTube channel. Her channel, The Comments Section with Brett Cooper is produced by Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire brand. She has 884,000 Instagram followers and 3.57 million YouTube subscribers.

She received an engagement ring from her boyfriend. It's unclear if her boyfriend is a Chad or a Normie because she doesn't show his face. He does seem like he's 6'0"+ and muscular.


It's somewhat unusual for a 22 year old woman to get engaged today.

She seems to be the polar opposite of Charissa Thompson, a 41 year old twice divorced childless female who likes to party.

"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'm sick of this *****. Controlled opposition and gets WAY too much attention. She is not cute and she doesn't know **** about men.

I think many of the good women get engaged at a young age. They're family oriented, and don't feel the need to spend their prime fertile years wh0ring around.

If she's so "trad", why does she go around with a man's first name?

Buying a ring feeds entitlement. Trad culture is gonna go down hard in my opinion.

We are not in the trad world, it is just entitltement. A ring dont mean anything a woman can still cheat or take it off, it just becomes an entitlement thing, to show off their friends, or here on YT.

Also, Lauren whats-her-face was super trad didnt she married and divorced.

Its just dumb larping by degens.
 

"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.

Lauren Southern. You are correct. She is divorced.

That's her parents' fault for naming her Brett. She could have changed her first name to something more feminine. Changing a name is a pain to do.

Have to disagree, she could quite easily go by her middle name or a nickname. If my parents named me Sue I certainly wouldn't go by that.

From her wiki, she's from LA, has acting experience and a degree in Business. Hmm...

My son will propose to his gf within the next year I expect. She’ll be 22, conservative and family oriented.

My 18yo daughter is also in a LTR going on 3 years. They live together and are likely to marry.

I know other trad/con young couples. It’s a conscious choice better quality women make. That’s been true for generations.

Most of the people I've known have gotten married for the first time in their late 20s - mid 30s.

Median/average ages at first weddings have been increasing for the last 50-60 years.

That's why a 22 year old getting an engagement ring is a story now. The typical woman is closer to 26-31 when she gets her first engagement ring.

Looks like click bait. If she is so excited about the engagement, why is the guy’s identity a secret? Women love to brag to other women about what they have. Majority of their lives is spent flexing on other women they are in competition with.

People like her live off of click bait. Her channel is a combination of commentary on political/economic events and cultural/dating topics. She has had some episodes where she said some redpill-ish type things.

She wants to keep her own private life as private as possible. Her fiancé also doesn't want to be a public figure.

She's a "trad-con influencer"...

BUT...

1. She has a manly name
2. She's a failed actor (no doubt she drank plenty of studio exec zinc)
3. She went to college and...
4. Joined a sorority (zinc alloy from the football team there)
5. She has a job, and not even a well-paying one
6. She is all over social media trying to get attention from thirsty simps
7. She is "soooo happy" to get engaged, but never mentioned any relationship
8. She's been exposed as a grifter multiple times

I'll be laughing at the cuck who tried 2 wife her up when they get to divorce court, if they even make it that far.
 

"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.

With the way the economy is going, hyperinflation, erosion of the middle class etc. I think "Trad Culture" will make a major comeback, things are about to get real not just in the states but the world. When gas goes up to $7-$10 a gallon and people can't afford rent. I think there is gonna be a majority of people that are gonna look to take relationships seriously sort of like they did in the 08 recission

Just my opinon
