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.

I'm not talking morally, I'm just talking about in common practice, is it going too far to lie to get what you want? For example, I messaged a girl on a dating site, and told her my real age (26)...she's 18...she said too old, the oldest she goes is 22. So I got a haircut (I look significantly different with shorter hair), made a new profile, told her I was 21, she said I was really cute and gave me contact info.

Does it make me a slimeball that I'm lying about age to get what I want...sex?
 

"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.

I like women much older than me, so I made a profile on POF and I put myself at age 41. I'm getting quite a bit of messages!

Women lie. Men lie. Sometimes you gotta.

Quite funny what happened to my friend.

He went to a club and met this girl there and while talking to her he told her that he was 22 while he was 27, and the girl told him she was 20. They hit it off so they left the club together, and on the drive he told her the truth that he was 27. He then find out that she lied too and she was actually 25.

They ended up getting happily married and they have a 5 year old kid. Not often do you find your wife at a club. lol

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

This is why you don't do internet dating. If you are suave enough and met her IN REAL LIFE, your age (especially with that negligible difference) would most likely have not mattered at all, since in real life YOUR PERSONALITY COMES ACROSS.
