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 there anything wrong for a guy to take self taken pictures?

"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.

Both men and women take pictures of themselves all the time, look at facebook. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but people will probably subconsciously think you have more "value" if someone else takes it, or there's other people in the picture with you.

I think it is strange. This is ok for girls to do, but especially shirtless pics in front of mirrors it makes guys look like douchelords. I don't even like to post photos of myself that others have taken. You always increase your value by having someone else take/post the photographs.

"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.

Looking at the pic you took we can see that light is from top right and there is shadow on your face. Thus it is a crappy picture. Go ahead take photos of yourself, if you can, just as long as photo is good. Photo is good, if it hasn't been altered, when you have good self-image. Looking at the photo you took and your question it is obvious there is a problem. It's called inner sparkle, happy people with good self-image have it. That's the secret some people have that they look good in all photos. Combine good self image and good picture taking skills and you have an excellent photo.

so good pictures do not have shadow?
 

"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.

OP, you've made more than one of these threads and this need for attention and validation from a bunch of strangers on the web isn't in your best interest. You're perpetuating something that you should be working on controlling.

Part of me thinks you're trolling for you own amusement and another part wonders if you're really that insecure. Fess up... Which is it?

please don't post that. nothing makes me cringe harder than when guys go looking for facebook likes. its bad enough when girls do it. also, why aren't you smiling? don't post your rape face unless you want girls to think you rape a lot.
