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.
GF gets Mad over Twitter
- Thread starter Fela Kuti
- Start date
"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.

Don't reply to them. I mean, you've got better things to do. Right?Fela Kuti said:If your GF gets mad because you don't reply to some of her updates, would you consider it silly or reasonable? And it's not big deal of updates either. Something like "want to buy new shoes" or "feeling hungry".
You shouldn't reply to any of her twitters. I wouldn't.
Next time she gets mad, just ignore her and wait for her ridiculous tantrum to end. If she keeps nagging and getting mad, tell her to stop. If she argues or continues to throw tantrums, leave her.
I barely reply to half my incoming tweet messages.
Do not tolerate this behavior. It's childish.
"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.

While your girlfriend gets mad that you don't to her updates , my girlfriend is more than happy if i call her once in a week.

It seems that Twitter is underrated around here. I look at Twitter because I can get updates about music and films in one click.Da Realist said:Depends on what she's saying. You shouldn't respond to her every whim. Then again, why are you looking at twitter to begin with?
"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.

Are you just posting this to advertise for twitter? If not, I've got the perfect advice for you: stay off of twitter for a while. She knows you go on and she posts stuff to get your attention. If she didn't think you went on there so much, you wouldn't be having this problem. When she has to post on a networking site to get your attentiuon, something is wrong somewhere. Either she's an AW as people put it, or you spend way too much time on twitter. I'm not saying it to be mean because I've had a girl to sit on my shoulder while I was playing a video game just to get my attention after she came over. If the latter holds true, just give her a little more offline attention. If she's just an AW, get off twitter for a while anyway just so she can move on to something else.Fela Kuti said:It seems that Twitter is underrated around here.
