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.

In a fairly crowded place. School, club, mall, whatever. How do you get over the mental block of if I fail I'll be ridiculed by those around me.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

People really don't give a ****.

I said some crazy things, but that only makes her like me even more. Because I can withstand the social pressure.

If people outside your pickup even consider ridiculing you, they obviously have nothing better going on in their useless, pathetic lives than to make fun of a guy who THEY DONT EVEN KNOW who gets rejected by a girl they probably don't know either.

Be rest assured that girls making fun of you have such dull lives that you should laugh at them for ridiculing you, and guys making fun have no balls anyways...they aren't sarging.

Dude I was at a grocery store in line picking up on a 2 chicks with everyone in line listening to me. It is kind of scary knowing that if you could be rejected in front of a ton of people but hey you got to be confident plus you never are going to see them again anyways.

On a side note, we all know how the "jack@ss gets the girl," but have you ever considered why they were a jack@ss?

Just a thought, but it could be because EVERYONES watching their pickup so they have something ****y to say after they succeed that makes everyone think that they are, indeed, a jack@ss. They might not be jack@sses at all.
 

"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.
