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.

Interesting article about the pickiness of educated black women

I found this especially interesting as educated black women have all the demographic characteristics working against them - i.e., more women than men go to college (especially in the black community), so many black men in jail, or dead from gang violence, etc. Yet just like women everywhere, they blow off men for any number of stupid reasons, but complain in the end "there are no good men".
 

"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.

This is actually a VERY good point that a lot of women don't understand.

Why can't the Sex in the City girls find a good man? Because they aren't good women.

In mating, like attracts like, and typically douche bags end up with douche bags.

I've seen it said before on this site: if you want to attract a quality partner, you have to be a quality partner yourself.

Women date up. They would rather go without then date a man who she considers lower status. She may **** the odd one, but she wont stick around for long.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Speaking from experience, the thing with "well-to-do" black women is that they are very lifestyle-oriented. They like to be treated a certain way and have a different concept of a quality man than your average white girl.

If you live in a major city where there is a large percentage of blacks you know that, in general, they are very into stuff. Especially the women. Since there isnt an abundance of educated, successful black women in America (relative to whites), they do feel very entitled to a certain type of man---namely one with noticeable status or wealth. A black woman will not trade down in lifestyle, especially one who has tasted the high life.

This is my take on it, from observation and speaking with a few.

My observations confirm this.

Are there any women who will happily go backwards in lifestyle? I tend to think no.
