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.

Why do people think they deserve a handout if someone in their family is rich?!! This b1tch isn't even related to him by blood yet he did still pay for her college education and now she is p1ssed he disowned her because she went on national tv to talk about him (which she shouldn't have anyway). So what if he has billions!? its his money. Am I suppose to feel sorry for her because she earns "only" $40,000 a year selling her art?!

No one is entitled to another person's money.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Don't tell that to politicians, they routinely stick their hands in our wallets and share with people we detest. To the specific point, OP I agree and I imagine there is a lot more to it than she is telling in her side of the story.

He sent her to get a world class education and the best she can do is $40K a year and a *****-a-thon. Pathetic.

EDIT: In actual fact it seems like the author of the article is a lot more wrought up over it than Nichole is. Also, she looks pretty good for her age. Granola works.

Well, I'd agree that nobody is entitled to anybody elses money, but I think that Buffet is being an as$.

To disown his family just because a simple interview is ridiculious. And to rub it in her face because she was adopted is also pretty screwed up. To say that she was never emotianally or legaly adopted as a grandchild or neice or cousin shows that he has very little class and is of petty character.

Of course there is probably more to the story. But as it is told, she doens't seem to feel a sense of entitlement.

But I'll agree, she should be thankful she makes $40k as an artist and that she got a free ride to a good school.

What's next, the unauthorized biography by the disowned granddaughter?

The bltch is living life as an artist. How many artists do you know who can do that?

And she's able to do it b/c Warren paid for art school and his ex bought her art and put her in circulation. Is she thankful for that?

No. She's got her hand out for more. She ought to sell more art and dish less dirt. But cashing in on the name is so much easier...
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

She should be thankful, but family first. Always in my book.

To disown somebody in a family shows a bad lack of character on Warren's part.

I'd tend to agree but without knowing the whole story and then walking a mile or several in his shoes I wouldn't rush to judgment.
 

"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.
