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 noticed this woman I met recently and when I am talking to her she is always saying stuff like "I am a girl who eats alot" NO she is not fat! anyway she is always saying "I am a girl" who does this or that. I thought I read in the DJ bible once something about woman doing this but can not remember what it said. So what is with all this I am a girl ****?
 

"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.

Who cares is more the point?

"I am a girl who (insert random junk)"

=

"I'm original , independant and one of a kind...........really I am "


In other words you can probably look forward to yawning alot and or acting surprised (in small doses obviously) at her "uniqueness".

associative qualification

by prefacing all of her attributes with some nonsense like, "I am a girl who... likes to run," she achieves a certain distancing in her characterization. The effect is twofold: firstly, what she says is first given validation because she's putting herself into a group, one of a particular type of girl. The implication is that there are other girls who have this type of behaviour, and she's not weird or strange in this manner. Secondly, it's distancing; she's using the general in order to convey her personality.

You can take advantage of this. Understand that this odd speech habit may be linked to some self-conscious thing. There's a reason people subtly validate themselves like that. Maybe she's feeling slightly uncomfortable. Try to push her away from talking like that, find a clever retort to point it out, like "I'm a girl who talks reflexively" (too nerdy, I know, but you're clever, figure something else out). But basically, whatever she says that's prefaced by the "I'm a girl" part, is something related to an insecurity. Just deal with it like you would any other insecurity in a girl; point it out, make light hearted jokes, etc.

hope this helped. best of luck. cheers.
