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.

"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.

From my experience as a White male, most White folks I know don't view Blacks as being racist, but rather see Blacks as always bringing race into any and every issue whenever a Black person is involved. It gets really tiresome and even the most liberal of Whites are growing weary of this knee-jerk reaction.

It's really disconcerting because if the Black community frivalously brings up the race issue when clearly there was none, it undermines real social injustices that take place.

I'm not racist, I don't know anyone who is (to my knowledge)..I have no problem with black people. But just from what I've observed they (not all black people obviously) do seem to be more fixated on race, about issues in which race never would have occurred to me.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yeah the "protesters" attacked people walking down the street.. because they were white?... but the jurors, Zimmerman, and everyone else involved is racist, who are the real racists here?

This was a media circus from day one. The Liberal media needed a two fold victory - one against guns, the other a pumped up racial angle. Sometimes reality and liberal ideology disagree.

I dont know how to tell you without touching your sensitivity but it may happen that a certain person is dislike because he is an a$$hole and not because of his race...even more surprisingly someone can fail because he sucks and not because someone is discriminating against him.

It reminds me that story about the kid screaming that the house was on fire only for the people gathering with water to find out it was a joke...well the joke kept going many days till the people got tired of it and when the real fire came, nobody believed to the kid.
