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 work an odd second/third shift schedule. Any way to work around this?

Had a semi-successful date last night - we ended up making out in a field and then I said something really, really stupid that might have been fatal. I'm only worrying about it because I've had few options lately.

I work some wonky hours (2 PM to 1 AM Thursday through Sunday) and I have three days off with this wake-up-in-the-afternoon-and-go-to-bed-in-the-morning sleep schedule. Since the entire world is awake in the mornings and has weekends off, I feel like getting a hold of a girl might have be on the back burner until I return to school in the fall. Monday through Wednesday is almost always dead around my town.

Is there any way I can really remedy this? I'm hitting the gym constantly to make up for this lost time, but I'm sure there's a solution...
 

"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.

At least you're up in the late afternoon/evening/early night hours. That's when most socializing and seducing goes on. There's not that much seduction that goes on in the morning that I'm aware of. You've got three nights a week to make the most of.

Even on Monday through Wednesday?

Come on, zekko. I know you've done some breakfast sarging. Strutting through the Denny's, scooping up some honeys. "Sup baby. You need some sausage to go with those eggs?"
 

"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.

Girls still go out on those nights, especially in the summer. Just have to find a bar/club in your area that attracts a lot of people the nights you are available.
