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.

"Unless I meet a woman who does all the work for me and pays for everything, i really do think monk mode is the move right now."

Really? May I ask what do you mean by doing all the work? Im not trying to bash you but imo this is a VERY faulty way of thinking.

Firstly I personally cannot imagine living under woman's rule . Especially not a new one...youas a MAN gotta take care of anything that has to do with money..never deal with a woman while being broke.

-she will only do this if your smv is significantly higher. Which means she is unattractive.
-it doesn't force you to make money like a maniac.

The worst thing you can do is voluntarily living under a woman's rule. Cmon now...

This is not a good mentality to have...

"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.

this is how most young people get laid, I would get laid in the park back when I was in high school and living with my parents . Nothing beats a bench in the dark and 2 horny high schoolers
A moment of silence for the poor saps who married those girls, provided a roof over their heads and in return for all of that they get duty sex. :rolleyes:

Depends on why you get married, if it is because of love ( from both ends ) then it should not really be an issue

but if you get married so you can get laid, like the majority of guys, then yeah very likely you will end up in a situation like you mentioned

but this is not necessarily a problem with marriage as an institution or women, sounds more like a guys problem

By "do all the work" all I meant was her doing all the chasing, being compliant, and generally making things easy for me.

as far as the money thing goes in my experience most women I've dated are willing to split the bill or even cover things completely, like i'm talking 50-50 across the board, sometimes closer to 60-40 or even 70-30. they just do it without any pretense. personally i don't give a ****. if they're gonna offer to pay i'm gonna take it. i don't feel less masculine when she pay for things, if anything I am more likely to feel like a simp when I pay. in my mind, her paying shows investment, and i don't think men give women enough chances to invest/chase. and personally, i can't say i've noticed any correlation between her willingness to pay and her looks. i do notice a correlation with her age; it should be said that if she's way younger than me I pretty much always pay, but if she's around my own my age that's a different story. insisting on always paying for a college-educated career woman in her 30s or older is an absolutely hilarious notion to me.

all that said I do like making the decisions and leading, which I consider to be a completely a different thing from paying.

I think monk mode, self-reflection and working hard to make a grant comeback is a better game plan than chasing women ( for now).

You got this bro!!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
