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 was searching for the epic poem "Don Juan" by Lord Byron, as I was a sappy, nice guy poetry nut at the time. I still write poetry, actually, and am amazing at it. But the discovery changed my life. To be specific, it was Pook. But this platform introduced him to me. And giving people introductions that aid them in their development and success have provided value. Also, I was introduced to Napoleon Hill here. He changed me from Negative Mental Attitude to Positive Mental Attitude. Every time one of my plans failed or were sabotaged, really, I recalled, "If one plan fails, build another. If that fails, build yet another. Do this till you succeed." Something like that. I think that's the most important line and message in the entire book. Success is simple. Hill taught me that. Develop a burning desire. Take action. Then persist through the mistakes and failures until the objective is achieved. For me, it's been TRUE LOVE: a loving relationship with a loyal wife who gives me a daughter I raise from infancy and dote on. I have not always been a loving guy. I have been harsh and abrupt. And women respond mostly to our tone when we speak to them. And if my tone was offensive, that was a barrier to me getting that loving relationship.

And the journey all started here!!!!

How much does Edward Thompson DESERVE for the introductions he gave me? He jokingly said a million. And I agreed and thought that was fair. But what do you think? What has he earned here? I think we have to consider not just the impact it had on me, but also how many I have gone on to impact too myself.

"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.

Would you be more specific, please? Did you Google something? If so, what was it?

I was starting to date again after getting divorced and moving out of Florida. I was thinking, things sure are different in the Bible Belt.

lol….I was a typical teenager having dating problems when I typed in David DeAngelo dating advice- a famous dating guru at that time and it redirected me to this page. Went back on and off through the years.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Thanks for the responses, guy. But how much compensation does Edward deserve? What should be his reward? I'm going to marry Cece Rose (the hottest woman since Bathsheba), and there's NO WAY in hell I would be the kind of man she would be attracted to and want to partner with for life IF I didn't find this site and read Pook (and I studied David D. too). So for me, I get the girl of my dreams. And because of this site, now I've evolved into a spokesman and leader who will bring FREEDOM, PEACE and PROSPERITY to the American people. How much is THAT worth?
