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.

Just out of curiousty, how much does it cost for a girl to get her nails done?

Hmmm, on a second thought maybe I should hit the field and find out...might be a good opener.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Anywere from $40-$100. I dated a girl who's only talent was going out to get her nails done.
Usually if a woman speends close to $100 on her nails, she spends about twice that on her hair. This can add up, I'd rather not think about it.... :nervous:

to have the chinese place just paint them is ten bucks,
for acrilyc nails and stuff can be anywhere from 25 to 40 bucks.
when they get acrilyc then you have to maintain them by going back if one gets a chip or breaks or pops off. of course they charge you anywhere from about 10-30 to fix the one nail.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Nah, we're talking about women who get major construction work done. The manicurist brings out the orange cones and the orange and white barriers and begin mixin that acrilic puddy looking spackle like stuff to back fill those French porcilin enamel type tabs that take a half hour to do per nail and you're sitting in those hard ass chairs wait for what seems like an eternity looking through old copies Red Book and Glamor trying to amuse yourself reading articles about "20 ways to tell if your man is cheating on you" and "How to go out on a Friday night without spending a dime nor putting out" and getting high from the fumes of acetone, gasoline and whatever other solvent they use to melt the old spackle off in order to put on new spackle... Oh don't get me started....

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'd say 90% of a woman's income is on their appearance.


Still, I can't say much, 90% of my income goes into computer/techie parts :p
