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.

It was just here a few days ago. I had a contribution to the idea of masks.

I'm a spittin image (except puggier nose at the end inherited from my dad I think) of Bale with similar snap-angry personality, but I didn't know or watch his movies growing up. My co-workers brought it to my attention and chicks in dance clubs, and then 4 years ago the week before our dad died my brother had me watch a clip from "Harsh Times" saying that was me. I'm like the fvck? I guess I am kinda psychopathic. It's inheritable. My dad was an unfeeling son of a b!tch, Marine. Didn't call my brothers for 20+ years, never saw, or wanted to see, his grandchildren. :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.

I don't know what happened to it. I certainly had no problem with it. I just did a search but didn't find it.

Oh you're absolutely right about that. I didn't know he started it. Well, let's meme on in the new one.

Danger started that thread and he's gone from Sosuave online so he took his thread with him? lol
Danger left? What happened to him? Didn't like the political restrictions would be my guess.
 

"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.
