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.

Hey guys, haven't check in in a long time.

Anyways, life has been crazy the last little bit. I ended up moving again and am trying out life in the big city. I made a career change and took a job in sales in at a new start up. Got a new to me motorcycle also and have been having a blast with that. Life gets crazy and I realized about 6 months ago that I truly wasn't happy with the way things were going. You only get one life after all.

It still amazes me when I go out how bad guys are with women. It only seems to be getting worse too. I was at a hibachi this past weekend and was next to a group of girls. 2-3 guys kept trying to hit on them and by the end of the night had paid for their meals, drinks, and got nothing in return.

If anyone has any tips on sales, I'd love to hear it. This is something new to me and while I'm doing OK with it, I know I can get better.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Sales in my opinion is THE perfect job for any aspiring DJ.
So what resources would you suggest to help me get better? I have pretty much no training in sales, other than the things I've learned about social dynamics from places like this.

Listen, identify their problem, give them something that solves their problem...... There are other things, look at Zig Ziglar and other stuff similar
 

"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.
