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 the DJ Bible too big?

Cut up the Bible!!

Its not my intention to be all negative, but does anyone else feel as though the DJ Bible is too big - maybe in need of thinning out? Its just, there is an awful lot of posts there which I do not feel particularly drawn towards - incidentally I have read them all - and feel they somewhat lower the quality. I don't want to name specifics but, perhaps a reduction in size would lead to an increase in quality - Robert Jordan ''a rare commodity''.

Maybe this is just my opinion, but regardless of how highly the DJ Bible is regarded it could provide even more credibility. Not strictly necessary I admit, but as one of those people who want things ''just right'' maybe its worth a thought.




Hows my diplomacy coming along?

(Just re-read this; Robert Jordan is not an example)

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yes!

I like the philosophical musings and theory. I think some of the tips are ridiculous. I like the writings of Allen Thompson, Pook (sometimes ... he gets too wordy), and some others.

A lot of people like the sound of their own voice and write too much.

It needs to be trimmed by about one-third, IMO.

"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.

agreed, one of my mates took one look and said maybe later, especially as older members tend to flame n00bs by saying read the bible if they have under 50 post count
