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.

Is rating women on the numeric scale a part of "rape culture"?

I was reading this article - from everyone's favorite media source - about Trump's latest misogynist scandal, and the addition of this point got my attention.

Trump’s Latest Comments About Women Are Rape Culture In A Nutshell
“Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything.”
These comments are among the most lewd and repulsive of what the public has heard the Republican presidential candidate say about women. Americans are well aware that Trump has a history of misogyny, ranging from attacking the appearances of women he dislikes, to shaming a woman breastfeeding, to fat-shaming a beauty queen, to sexually harassing women who worked on “The Apprentice,” to rating women on a numerical scale.
OK, I can understand womyn getting mad at most of this, but also at the last one? Perhaps feminysts think that while they have everyone's attention, they can now try to shame men from objectively discerning a woman's physical desirability?

my opinion: :down:
 

"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.

Im sure they have no problem in other kind of conversation regarding the d1ck size or hair density of the men hitting on them.

After all inches/cm and % are all numbers that objectify that marvellous creature called human even if such creature happens to miss b00bs.

It's all in the presentation. When a woman approves or disapproves she will talk about "her type", not "his d!ck was small".

Rape culture? You mean the one that puts these people in jail and brands them as a sex offender the rest of their lives??

It's just politics as usual. The Clintons are no stranger to sexual scandal either. Huffington Post has no interest in stopping rape, they just want to stop Trump.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Rape culture does not exist, point me one larger group of people who think rape is ok and I'll change my mind.

And no, rating women is not a part of rape culture and has nothing to do with rape.

Feminists just stick the word "rape" on anything they don't like.

Yes, and let's also stop rating men by income and popularity while we're at it. :rolleyes:
