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.

welcome to my world
hey...i remember one time a while ago you said your friend was to appear as a guest host for a show on upn? is that correct?

well...thing is my friend who is trying to make his way up in some hip-hop, is to appear on this show called spotlight entertainment. i was wondering, with your "connections," would you know anything about that show? it's sort of like an american idol singing contest, but a bit different.

the reason i made a thread is to spread the word...just get it out there...

the show is called spotlight entertainment, and it's on in the southern united states. problem is though, that it's on a low-budget at the moment, and is aired at around 12-1am, eastern time. hopefully, if more people watch it they'll get more money. still, some areas don't air it, and i wanted to see how you could at least get a recording?

everyone else, you guys should watch too.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.

yeah my friend said he's supposed to perform on the show tonight, and even though he's done with the competition and actually knows what went down, now they need people to watch and call in to vote, because it's not actually live.

but he's working on his cd now anyway...i haven't exactly seen him perform before, but if i am able to catch a glimpse and see how good he is (or not), then i'll put his actual name out their so you guys can look him up...we'll be working on his website soon and he's working on an album now...i might link some of his stuff

but anyway, that's awesome, thanks...i'll be back again later if i don't fall asleep...

if he has some songs, tell him to email them to me at [email protected]... my two best friends, who I mention all the time, are up and coming recording artist whoose first cd drop in January... putting the fininishing touches on it now... I'll email anyone a sample if they want to hear some of their older stuff, even it's pretty good.

hey, that's really great.

i gave him your email address, so he'll be sending you something soon. thanks.

actually, i'm not sure exactly what i'm trying to do...good question

i think mostly along the lines of promotion, and spreading the word. I want to try and get a recording of him from the show on his site, then it will be easier to show to other people.

anyway, thanks again, and good luck to your friends with their cd. sounds cool, yeah, i'd be interested in hearing their stuff: [email protected]

btw, i've been meaning to say this in another thread, but that second quote in your thread has really made me think lately as i've been exploring different organized religions ...and it's quite thought provoking

thanks... I'll be checking my email and everyone should know about all religions, not just their own, because how can you know the "truth" if you don't even know the question
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
