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.

Life's just a nice big red juicy apple, and every second you take procrastinating the apple gets a little smaller, and a little less tasty.

Work hard, play hard. and you'll have a good life.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That's a bit pessimistic :(

I don't like being rushed by time. I like to feel timelessness. So I'm not going to have fun just because I'm afraid that fun will end or get worse.

It's neither pessimistic or optomistic; its realistic.

But rotten apples don't get smaller... and if it's smaller because the flies are eating it, it wouldn't be that "little" less tasting at all. It'd taste like shit.

How can you say this if you're only 16?

In order to have any sort of credentials you should be about 8- years old, and have LIVED A LIFE.

16 years is a blink of an eye when you consider your life. Maybe one-fifth. That's 20%.

I would say 'Learn as you go - don't follow anyone' but then I'm telling you to follow me. And that's not cool:)

Just don't take things too seriously and you'll be okay. That's all.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

First of all, i'm relating life to an apple, so obviously, im not taking life to seriously. I have made many posts on not taking life to seriously.

Something else i know to be true is this; wisdom doesn't come with age, it comes with experience. Most people seem to believe that experience comes with age, but this is also false. Don't judge the value of my words by my age.
