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'm in a LTR with this girl for almost a year, everything was fine, interest in 90%, sex everytime we saw eachother, initiating the contact 90% of the time. Lately, we've been arguing a lot. She says that i dont have time for her, she's my lowest priority and that i prefer hanging with my friends. She also says that im stubborn and doing things on purpose, just to piss her off.

So what i did is, i told her that if she thinks that im a bad boyfriend, she is free to find another one, the one who is more compatible with her and that i am who i am and i wont change myself just so i can please her.

She got mad and said that "I" want to break up with her but dont have guts to do it. I said "Think whatever you want" and have been ignoring her ever since.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's a test. Give her the space you said you would and let her do whatever she wants. If she wants to stay with you she will. If not then what do you have to lose? You can move on to another girl.

Could she possibly be projecting her own thoughts onto you? Thats my guess. She is the one who wants to break up, but doesn't want to be labeled the bad person so she'll find every way she can to blame you. Thats pretty standard behavior for any female.

If you are happy with her, then keep doing what you are doing. If not, then end it.

I had told her at the beggining of our relationship, that if she ever wanted to break up for whatever reason, she only needs to say "i want to break up" and i wont be asking for a reason of her decision since the fact the she wants to break up is enough.

She's just picking an "end fight" to make you break up with her because she checked out a while ago. No use staying with an unhappy girl. Don't try to please her, beg, or plead, it'll make you look spineless. Give her her walking papers, and end it like a man.
 

"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.
