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.

This is a topic we don't address enough on this page. Most people don't have iron wills. How do you guys keep yourselves motivated?
 

"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.

I personally do t'ai chi on a nearly daily basis. It gives me a ton of energy and motivation as well as keeps me in good shape and able to defend myself. I can apply the martial art principles to real life situations that are non-physical but still confrontational.

Thats not exactly what I was looking for. See, the kind of people I am referring to are those that can't get motivated to GO to tai chi classes. You see what I'm saying?

My motivation to lift comes from looking at all the hot chicks in the fitness magazines.

They pump me up, that and music!

You really find those women attractive? The majority of women I see in fitness magazines have a disguisting amount of muscle... There are a few hot ones sometimes.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Oh no I'm talking about the fitness babes, not the hardcore muscle babes.

Great article. I wish I had someone like that guy to motivate me. But I have to do it all alone... *sniff*
