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.

What is the point to it. It seems a little retarded if you think about it... WTF to you do. Have s.e.x, raise your children...thats it?? It seems pointless.. The only good thing in life, is love...and even that is VERY ****ed up. Look at the way we try to get chicks...Read the forums...its about manipulation - not about love and attraction...
 

"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.

Love? I'll redefine that. Life needs passion. I don't care what it is, if you're passionate about something enough that you can pursue its greatest challenges to any ends, you've found what you need in life. (Example: Lots of sports stars. Navy SEALs. Great Musicians. Successful scientists. They don't have to be famous, just anyone who loves what they do.) When you waste time futilely attempting to contemplate it (It's a mental trap...I've been there too) and find a purpose, life is meaningless. Life is what you make of it.

If your life is meaningless, then I would suggest that you find something good to do with it.

Re-read the forum with an open mind and don't let a pissy attitude force you to only see the posts that match that attitude. If you think that life is just about manipulating women to have sex and raising kids, you have a lot of growing up to to do. Life is what you make of it.

wow i feel sory for you, you can not even apreciate life, i mena sure it does not seem to have a purpose and all life seems to want to do is live, but still you must apreciate life because there is no proof to say that you get a 2nd shot at it. personaly i enjoy life on the whole alhough it does have its moments. and you should to.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What you are saying is true... Im passionate about the study of law (im planning to be a lawyer). But, unfortunately...i have nothing else to look foward to. All my relationships never work out, because - mainly Distance. All girls, which REALLY interest me - i noticed - live far away; definately not from my school - lol. And i go to the gym - i enjoy to work out...striving for improvement...but yet, there is a void.

You will argue, "Life is what you make of it". What can i make out of it??

In 20 years, you will not remember the things you did. You will, however, remember every one of the things you didn't do. Every opportunity you missed. Every moment you wasted
I feel like, i'm wasting away. I did nothing...

What AM i doing which is revelent?

Well, I used to think like you. Well, not exactly, but along the same lines. I used to spend all day at the computer *****ing about life to myself and everyone around me. That was just laziness speaking. I know it's been said already, but life is what you of make it. Until you get off of your ass and do something about it, you aren't gonna get anywhere. If life is so "pointless," then what do you have to lose?

There's no such thing as a general "meaning of life." I guess life is more of an individual escapade, if anything. Sure, there's the basic stuff - Food/water, shelter, and sex - that everyone has to deal with, but there's also a whole lot more than that. You say the only good thing in life is love, which is sort of true, but love doesn't only limit itself to a relationship between two people. You've just gotta find a passion. That's what life is all about. Now how is THAT ****ed up?

Sure, some of the individual techniques taught on this site might just be manipulative, but if you bothered to look past that, you'd see that this forum is actually about self-improvement. It's about changing your whole outlook on life for the better. A lot of this does have to do with the basic necessities. You've gotta take what life gives you and make the best of it. These "manipulations" just turn lemons into lemonade.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
