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.

For anyone who has studied business statistics, you are well award that by changing questions, manipulating statistics, and sampling different ranges of people, you can absolutely make any study look how you want!!

Keep yourself fit and in shape, look healthy, eat healthy and you will be healthy!
Plus these "studies" have not been identified to come from credible medical sources such as JAMA or APA. Most of these studies are lame questionaires of only 50 or 100 people done by womens magazines attempting to boost sales.
 

"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.

Health.

Looks are subjective and relative - beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.

My wife-to-be loved me when I was overweight/unhealthy and loves me just as much (no less, no more) now that I'm bulked up, fairly lean and healthy.

In the long run, looks don't mean anything since your life partner will love you regardless.

So is anyone going to post where they found this information??
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Actually tons of studies have attempted to give a link between caloric restriction diets and longevity.

But I don't no about you but it'd be tough for me to enjoy living to 120 years old on only 1000 calories a day!

That's the problem with most of the diets out their, they are based on restrictions and cutting back instead of focusing on what should be eaten on a regular basis.

It's about eating the amount of calories that you expend and having an active metabolism. It a nutshell it's about balancing what you eat with physical activity. Just cutting back calories tend to drive people nuts, thus go go on binges and get into the cycle of yo-yo dieting.
