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.

Can you see all the couples around you? Have you really noticed their common partners?

At least in my experience, there's this woman and this man.
They've known each other since high school, and usually have turbulent relationships...
The things I've noticed they have in common are that they have at least 3 or 4 children, their wives are nymphomaniacs, and they have a lot of sex with their boyfriend/husband, yet, some, they cheated, but they stayed together, they forgave.
Usually the woman is a very "pain in the ass," alternating between moments of "wanting to have sex and be feminine" and moments of "I want to be in charge and I'll be a pain in the ass," etc.

I never understood what kind of couple model this was, but it's the most popular...

Furthermore, I've noticed that after 40/45, when women have fulfilled their role, having had children, raised them, taken them to soccer games, done everything that needed to be done, they begin to change their attitude toward their husbands and family and become more churlish and more sullen.
It's as if they resent each other.

Any woman in a relationship like that, look like a nymph for her HB.. infact I know many guys that keep their relationships just because she have those crazy moments of sex. But they're relationships are miserable really..
 

"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.

Several galaxies worth of problems can be prevented, by NOT settling for the first option that comes your way. Most people are dissatisfied with their marriages, careers, neighborhood they live in, etc etc, yet chose to never do more than gripe about that sh-t. Such passivity is, in one sense, understandable:

Achieving prosperity and liberty requires us to experience discomfort along the way, ergo most folks do everything in their power to NOT experience such things

How large is your sample size that you draw this conclusion from?

I notice the same dynamic: many of these relationships seem to move in cycles of ups and downs, almost like a constant "we're breaking up." Then something happens, a major event, the birth of a child, marriage, buying a house, a trip, that leads to reconciliation. And at that point they think, "We made it," feeling even stronger than before.
