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.

America is best
So I just found out that one of my closest friends overdosed on herion last night. He is braindead, they are keeping him alive until his father gets there.

Its fvcked up. Me and this dude were best friends in highschool. Drank together, fought each other twice (once for fun, once out of anger). Now he is dead, just like that.

Right now, I don't feel anything about it. Is that weird?
 

"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.

I lost someone close to me today too. I don't feel anything yet either, it hasn't set in. Don't feel like you have to react in any sort of way, just do what feels natural to you.

My good workmate lost his good friend last week - the drop down dead, leave a wife and two young kids, at the age of 40, totally clean-living kind of scenario. Talking to my mate a few days after, we decided that the only certainty we can fathom is that, when it's time, it's time. Full stop.

As an aside, I had a diagnosis of potential left ventricular hypertrophy on Friday. Such is life, indeed. We get on and carry on. And enjoy.

It's not until we stare mortality square in the face that we fully appreciate the precious gift lying in the palms of our hands, every single time we wake up. Get on with it fellas. Just get on with it. Never let a single thing stand in your way.
