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.

How do you guys pull off white t-shirts?

It's summer here in the south and when I wear a bright coloured shirt/tshirt that fits, i get noticeable sweat at the armpits. Especially when dancing. Not too big, but noticeable. I actually like white/stylish shirts, so...?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I guess I'm lucky because I just don't sweat that easily. It takes a lot to make me sweat. Maybe find some good antiperspirant?

Careful. If you live in a warm climate and you put ap on a sweaty day you could get problems. Problems that require surgery.

There is medical-grade antiperspirant that will prevent that. Best deal is probably just to not wear white if you expect to sweat, though.

Some people just sweat more than others. I sweat like a pig. You should see me after a good stint on the treadmill. :p

Oh so these antiperspirants actually make you not sweat/block it? I'd only need it for armpits, sweat everywhere else is pretty much fine.

Yeah I sweat alot during exercise, but I was thinking about just walking around outside when its warm, or dancing inside. I don't usually sweat much, but I get some at the armpits anyway.
 

"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.

I never understood the term "sweating like a pig", as pigs sweat out of their mouths. They can overheat easily and we always had to keep a hose on em at the fair.

Anyway, a white t-shirt is what I wear most of the time in the summer, when I'm working outside. The white t-shirt is a classic, it's so rebellious that it doesn't have to say anything at all.

White shirt, jeans and a blazer. Tried and true though if it's summer you're talking about then it probobly adds to the problem heat wise. At least the blazer prevents people from seeing any arm pit stains though.

Really? I'm at my fittest right now and (under exercise) I sweat like hell. After an hour of high intensity training my t-shirt is literally soaked, from top to bottom. It doesn't smell though. The other guys I'm training with sweat alot less, maybe I should see a doctor?

When I'm not exercising the sweat level is completely normal.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, sweating more during exercise can actually be a sign of better fitness, since your body is more efficiently working to cool you, you may be better hydrated etc.

Doesn't apply now because of my broken arm but I used to be very fit and would still sweat a lot.

Also, climate can be a huge factor. If you are in a hot and humid area, you'll sweat more as your body works to cool itself. Which can make a white or light coloured a bummer and often not worth the effort.

Trust me I know, coming from an area where winter temperature is hotter than a European summer, and with summers very hot and humid.
