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.

I felt bad because I got grumpy with some random chick. I think I might have yelled because I was upset about something that was really trivial. She was just the checkout girl. She was calm, but I felt so bad about it afterwards.

So next time I see her, I am SUPER friendly. "How are you doing today?" I say with a big smile. "huh?" "I said how are you today?"

"Oh! I thought you said 'it's you again!'

I start laughing. She had thought she had done something to upset me and I didn't want to see her again. Anyway, she seems really sad, so I keep chatting with her until she smiles.

Anyway, what turned me on is how vulnerable she seemed. She didn't blame me for the incident, but herself instead. Anyway, she's got a big wedding ring she rocks, but I'll still be friendly and flirt with her, cuz I like her!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You boys need to override your instincts to protect women it will lead to "captain save a ho" as it's called here. It is OK to help someone who is drowning etc. BUT, trying to save a woman from trouble of her own making? It is in our nature to ride up on the white horse to save the day,but when you get that idea, shoot your horse,BBQ it,buy some beer and invite your friends over. They will appreciate it more than the woman will and it will cost you less in money and emotions.

"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.

Kody raised a very good point and SODBUSTER, everyone was quoting you how can I miss out the fun. LOL.

Good post. Some actually do it on purpose, in fact many of them. So don't fall for it.

Wow and I've never eaten horse meat before, is it good?
