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 think once you have to ask, then you have enough on your plate already.
 

"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.

This type of thing is not unheard of if you're able to make enough of an impact on a person during the times you are together. Plus it helps that you don't drop the plate and it breaks on the floor. You just kinda pack it away for safe keeping. Every one in a while it gets unpacked and dusted off. ;)
Of course.

Over the past couple of years I've made a conscious effort to ensure that every woman I deal with ALWAYS looks at me as a man. And that means that the ones who are physically attracted to me will continue to be physically attracted to me.

But you do have to admit that to really spin plates you can't just put them away and pull them out again at will. Might work with some, but for the most part they will require at least a minimal amount of attention.

One of my "plates" is going to school up north and getting ready to come back into town in a couple of weeks as a matter of fact.

It's good to be able to put the bubble wrap on some of them when they're not in use!

lol. Now I got the old Kinks tune in me head:

... and when you're old and gray you will remember what they said: that two girls are too many, three's a crowd, and four you're dead

I presume Ray Davies wasn't talking about just dating, but there's some truth in the "four you're dead" bit.
