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.

If both people are very confident than the relationship may not last that long.
Interesting, definitely worth thinking about.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

On the topic of marriage, that is a hoax, and all men should avoid it. There are no benefits to it, besides miniscule tax cuts. You could be better serving yourself learning about investing than getting tax breaks by giving away your freedom.

I have to side with the optimists.

LTRs are, or at least should be, centered on love.

Being in love rocks -- if only for the constant, fantastic sex :)


It (love and the sex) wears out though after maybe 6 months.

I'm on the fence about whether an LTR is worth it after that. But the side of the fence with all the women I haven't fcked always looks pretty enticing at that point.

I'm glad that you are realizing that LTRs are for the most part completely useless with modern women.

It is a fact is only 1 out of every 50 women you date is good enough to be in a relationship with.

It is just a sad fact that modern women are complete trash. They are mostly hores and very confused with their roles as females.

I can only suggest that you focus on women from other cultures who still have respect for men.

I'm not trying to be negative here I'm just telling you the truth.

The most positive thing I can tell you is that there ARE good women out there. You just have to get off your fat ass and find them. Just don't be afraid to do some work.

Agreed.

However, the one with more insecurities can end it based just on that reason. That they are too insecure to stay in the relationship. I know guys and girls who have done this before!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I just got out of a relationship of almost 2 years... A lot of what's said in this post is true. Being that I was with someone for a while and have had another LTR prior, this is how i feel


Never stop searching for true love :)

This is true, I've been on the receiving end of this type of relationship. Woman thinks things are going well, TOO WELL! She feels she isn't deserving of such good fortune and believes she's going to eventually fvck things up so she breaks it off before she does! WTF???!!!:confused:

But this was long ago before I learned how to qualify women. I've learned to stay away from women with self esteem problems.
