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.

INFLUENCE by CIALDINI



the books that most influenced me have been written by sociopsychologists
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Reading a book called Influencer right now. While Cialdini's book is a rundown of influence tactics used in sales, this one has some pretty unique principles that can be used to solve self-improvement problems as well as social and organizational problems. It also says, the number one skill that determines whether or not a person will be successful in life, is his ability to delay gratification. Interesting

Covey's 7 Habits - I read this book when I'm in high school, reading it again now. Some classic principles here - up to you to determine how to implement though

I read a lot of sociopsychology and self-help books. The biggest problem is that in 95% of them, the ridiculously optimistic feel-good writing masks the fact the principles are either impractical, out of context, or flat out wrong
