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.

you ever notice how in the movies and on tv guys who are aggressive and come onto women with dirty pick up lines and kino are portrayed as morons and being rejected and getting pwned by women? its always the nice respectful pandering guy who gets the girl. and women are portrayed as smart witty and "strong". women are always insulting men on tv and physically assaulting them. it always implies that life is this way but real life is totally different. it always implies that women are like men.
this is why i cant stand to watch most shows on tv. in real life men and women are both intelligent but women have no control over their feelings. theyre skittish prey who dont know what they want. women are not men.
the media makes it look like nice guys win, **** tv and romance.
 

"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.

Have you played Mega Man V?

Anyways, OP, who do you think writes this pile of sh*t? That's right, writers who were betas. A movie is fantasy. Remember that. Nice guy gets girl my ass.

Except nice guys DO get women, sir.

They obvious have reproduced thus far and have good little nice guys for sons and teach their sons the same crap their fathers taught them. Not every father in society is an Alpha or a "jerk."

I'm not defending nice guys either. I'm simply stating a fact, that these type of guys do get women... if they are good looking. Looks are what counts, behavior is largely secondary, as you well know.
