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.

Often when I see a very attractive girl I realize later she wore makeup.

I don't mean eyeliner and lipstick but all face makeup. It just makes them look hot or hotter than the reality could be.

And I sometimes fell for this "trap".

What is your take on that?
Have you noticed that most of the really hot looking girls wear good all face makeup?
And most of them would look ordinary without it?

I met girls who looked hot without it...with makeup they would probably made die on spot.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I see right through the makeup and hair and clothes to the raw body. I can tell who is hot when they wake up in the morning and whose not, even if the natural girl isnt "hot" when she's made up, she's gonna get my attention. A diamond in the rough is WAY better than a polished turd.

I call these girls Oompa Loompa's.

It is a nightmare when you wake up and her face is removed by the white pillow case.

This is EXACTLY why I wish I lived in California or near a beach.

I would make every first date at the beach. Rock the body + no make up.

I just don't find girls attractive without makeup.

I think the ability to properly use makeup is a feminine trait and something that a woman should know and do.

I don't care what she looks like without makeup because I expect her to wear it, period.
 

"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.

There are some girls that have potential who suddenly realize it one day and then they start wearing the right clothes, makeup etc. and then they really get noticed as a hottie. But it's very rare that a truly ugly girl can mask it using makeup. I don't think I've ever seen a fugly girl become hot using makeup alone.

No matter how much makeup they wear, or how elaborately they do their hair or how nice they dress, they can't conceal their body shape. Even through thick clothing, you can figure out her body habitus.


Personally, I like it when a girl makes the effort to look good. I bet a lot of us guys would be less attractive if we didn't dress well and groom ourselves properly.

Yeah, this is what I think. Makeup enhances the appearance, and the girl has to have something to enhance.

I often prefer the way women look without makeup, or at least with it only lightly applied. With makeup, less is often more. I like the natural look. If a girl has too much makeup caked on her face it's just a turnoff really.

I like this thread... It is an illusion, I think you need to go for someone who at least looks ok without makeup, cause if the smoke blows away, and the mirrors shatter, you don't want to be left with susan boyle.

I don't care how much makeup you put on Susan Boyle, she's not going to look hot.

What's that saying about lipstick on a pig?

^^^Yep. Me too. Another interesting issue is that of plastic surgery. I'd be interested as to what other guys think about gals who get their eyes done, boob jobs, etc? My gal has had her boobs done, and I don't have a problem with it. Maybe some guys would. I like women who "make the effort" with a bit of makeup, heals, nice clothes n stuff. A feminine trait imo. Better than coming home to sweats and flip flops. Hate that. Of course females can go overboard with altering their looks to the point where it's a turnoff.

hate plastic surgery! HATE too much makeup...if they are wearing that much makeup its for a reason. if their face is covered in acne or whatever makeup only makes it worse...those girls can stay the hell away from me. eyeliner and whatever else they use here and there is fine, but nothing else. boob job...maybe, just depends what they have originally. anything else no thank you..natural is the way to go.
ive had girls who need a little makeup, but ive also had girls who i LOVE seeing with none on, in just a tank top and sweats. it can be very hot if the girl can pull it off..
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
