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.

Called a girl I've been seeing (4 months). She was out of town with her family all weekend so I hadn't seen her. I asked if she wanted to hang out tomorrow, she said she wasn't sure, we chatted a bit etc. etc.

Ten minutes after I said goodbye she called back, and said something to the effect of 'I won't hang out with you tomorrow, because I tried to hang out with you all last week and you didn't want to' (garbage because I was with her for almost three straight days last week - an awfully long time for me. I like my privacy). She also accused me of becoming 'too comfortable' with her.

I didn't capitulate (fall to my knees and swear my love) but I didn't completely call her on her BS because I wasn't in the mood for a long confrontation. In the end I smoothed things over.

I wouldn't be too upset if I lost this girl; I don't see much long-term potential in her. What confounds me is the desire of women to cause havoc and drama in their own lives. the more girls I meet the more I find myself really belieiving in the whole 'emotionally fragile' thing.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

^ Stuff like this is why I almost piss myself laughing when I hear a girl say something like

"omg I can't stand drama" or "I don't hang out with girls because they cause drama" (that last one usually comes from girls that hang out with guys a lot , witch is in itself asking for drama)

women are unbelievably fragile and oblivious to their own mental problems , which is scary

I was talking to a female friend of mine about this. She flat-out told me "Don't be honest with us. We can't take it."
