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.

Of course I'm not going to give it to her
But she keeps asking me, telling me the reason why I should give it to her is because we're friends
and she told me that she'll pay me back. Over several months.
Of course the answer is "no, I'm not your bank", but what would YOU guys tell her?
 

"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.

No way, especially considering your only 17, at your age $140 is a good chunk of coin. People are not trust worthy at your age. Tell her to ask her parents.

Lending money is like giving it away. Your not likely to ever see it again. Or be prepared to lose a friendship over it.

Yes, think about it. A 17 yr old girl comes up to YOU and not her parents, family, relatives, etc and asks you to loan her some money wouldn't you find her shady? I would.

Better yet, tell her if she gives you a BJ everyday for a week, you'll lend her the money. Theres nothing like turning a women into a wh0re.

Why would you want to jeopardize a "friendship" by making one person indebted to the other?

If she's that desperate for money and you have the extra lying about doing nothing. Be damned sure she signs something saying you have loaned this idiot so and so amount and she will owe you $___________ PLUS INTEREST ACRUABLE AT END OF TERM.

Tell her this is what friends who loan friends money do. If she squabbles the least bit she is not interested in your friendship.

Karma, that´s weird, why would you want to do that for? Taking interest from friends, pals, folks you hang out with IMHO is rather jewish. But maybe it is common in the US?

Only lend money to friends if you are ready to actually give it to them as a gift. For yourself, write the money completely off as a gift and don´t ever mention it again by yourself.
Otherwise that friendship is likely to go down. Friendship and money should be kept apart anyway.

But this chick...? Couldn´t see any reason at all why you should give her that money.

what would YOU guys tell her?

$10 per blowj0b, but only if she swallows. With hard work, she can make her money in less than a week.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Oops! Let's keep the racist remarks to a minimum.

Just that. If she asks again, tell her to bother some one else or 15 blow jobs on demand, any time, any place, regardless of relationship situation. And she swallows.

And he's 17, at best, his job will get him $20-45 in 2 hours. Get real escaleraroyal.

i have said this before ... so here i go again

any time i loan money to family and friends, they rarely feel the need to pay it back. i only do it when i have extra and i do not need it back because they may never pay it back.

lending big bucks to a friend that never has it to pay it back, can end your friendship.

karma is right about getting things in writing if you want it back.
there are websites just for this.
search the site engine here for lending money... you will find the old threads.

Personally, I never lend money which I can't afford to give away.

"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.

you shouldn't lend money to friends or family members. If they're creditworthy, they should be able to get it from someone unrelated, who won't be risking a friendship.

I don't work for free. Perhaps that's how you do out of the states but I make money to spend on me and my family not friends who try to guilt me out of money. And it's not "jewing" them about borrowing money, it's about making a stand on the value of your money.
