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.

Lately I have become very confident, which is a good thing, but the thing now is that I don't seem care about anything.

It's like I've gotten my priorities straight and I've figured out what's important and what's not, only now I seem to be ignoring the little things, the things that shouldn't be someone's top priority, but nevertheless shouldn't be altogether neglected either.

For example:

I feel so confident at work, that I often show up unshaved or without having really styled my hair or without wearing cologne, of course I do take care of my hygiene, but I don't bother to try and show off or make the best of my presentation.

The funny thing is that I'm walking around like I own my place even though sometimes look like I just got out of bed, what's even more funny is that the chicks love it. I don't wether it is because they think I'm just hot (which I could imagine) or because it's that I don't give fuk attitude that I seem to have that gets them attracted.

I feel good about being like this, but I do sometimes feel like I should put in a bit more effort into the little things, I just seem to be basically focused on my big goals and priorities that stuff like shaving seems irrelevant.
 

"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.

That's a good attitude to have, but you should still take care of yourself and shave regularly and stuff.
