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 feel nothing after...

I've noticed something weird recently. Sometimes when I do an acitivty, I leave with nothing to say and don't really feel anything. Like a week ago, I went go kart racing and it was fun to roll around the track but I left with just nothing to say and kind of emotion-less. Same thing with the new Fast and Furious movie, everyone got all emotional at the end but I kind of just sat there with nothing to say.

It's like it didn't impress me or something. Anyone have a similar experience?
 

"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.

Sounds pretty normal, unless it's happening all the time and you're getting depressed. In which case it may be more than just a slump.

The ending to Furious 7 did not get to me at all either... only slightly touching, like when you read a "Thank you" card or something. I was more fascinated by how they managed to put the end together after Paul Walker had died.

Pssshhhh I was like that from the age of 13+ and am still like that. I got a little better after a while, but now I never get extremely emotional over anything, and that's a plus. You'll adapt and get used to it and 'have something to say' so don't worry.

It's probably just a phase anyway.

People who get emotional over the seventh installment of a mindless action movie should probably be deported.

Sounds like fairly standard red-pill symptomology really - i.e. a complete apathy with blue-pill culture.

http://lifeblazing.com/2008/09/22/side-effects-of-the-red-pill/

The reason why diagnoses like 'depression' are rife, espcially among blue-pillers; for example:

'Oh I just upgraded to the latest version of the i-phone only half and hour ago, why do I still feel so intrinsically empty?'

The ongoing tug of war between blue-pill conscious and red-pill subconscious, or vice-versa.

To undertake activities that truly nourish one's soul make the blue-pill culture far more palatable, when we endure it.
 

"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.
