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 started this thread on a different forum on this site. I just realized this is the mos appropriate one... anyways...


I think I messed up really bad this weekend.

I just moved to a new city. I don't know many people, but I do have "friends of friends" over here. This weekend I went over to this guy's house and his girlfriend came home with some girls... all of them kinda 5s or 6s... there was a 4 in there, too... Anyways, we all went out and I met up with this chick that I used to obssess years ago... a friend of a friend talked to her friend and we all went back to my friend's house for a little after party.

There I got really drunk and I started getting with the 4... I think no one saw me, but that's what all drunks think... needless to say, the chick I used to obssess over is not going to want anything with me after I got with the behemoth 4. That doesn't bother me that much, though. All those 5s and 6s and the 4 that I got with are my friend's girlfriend's friends, and I apparently spoke really dirty while I was hooking up with her. That chick I used to be in love with supposedly heard me.

I guess this is not a hooking-up related problem, but I need any advice as to how to patch things up or at least minimize the damage before next weekend, when I'm bound to run into those few people that I know in this new city.

Oh, and there's some guy talking crap on me to that chick I used to be crazy over. Obviously, I need to straighten him up without alienating anyone else... any advice there?

Thanks, guys.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

dude you are single and it is none of their business what you do, how you do, or with whom you do it. if they would socially retarded enough to question you about it. diffuse them with humor and change the subject. dont explain yourself with humor but nicely put them back in their boundaries with humor.


them:i heard you the other night with that girl

you:really?

them: yes you were so loud

you: so?

I agree with Dr. Meathead - So what?

I am still trying to figure out the question here though, seems to me this kind of situation usually drives the HB crazy trying to figure out why you got with the 4 instead of her. Either way you had fun so?

I'm mostly worried about being overheard telling the ugly chick that i was gonna bang her til she forgot her name and other ridiculous things... plus the fact that the morning after talks centered around what a disrespectful way to treat her that was... i think the hostess might not like my presence around her friends... things like this have a way of working themselves out to my advantage over time, but right now i just need a little peace of mind...

Plus, there's this guy there talking crap about me that I simply can't afford to alienate at this moment... not while i'm new in town...

thanks for any additional advice!

In the future you do plan to put this much effort into women you actually like, right?
 

"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.
