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 was just mostly curious, but if you would pick any movie/tv character that most resembles a don juan or an AFC, who would they be? Maybe seeing what i should strive for and stay away from will help me on my way to becoming a true DJ.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Napolean Dynamite- Not only a bad movie but the main character is an example of an over the top cartoon like representation of the worst AFC traits that could possibly be evident in any man.

Seth Gecko- Over the top DJ type character seen in the awesome vampire killin movie From Dusk Till Dawn.

As for DJ, Tyler Durden from Fight Club, Tristan Ludlow from Legends of the Fall. Hell, probably any character played by the Pittster.

DJ = William Wallace in Braveheart
AFC = Listen to just about any love song on the radio, but I'd say Jerry McGuire and his whole "You complete me" BS.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

DJ and AFC rolled into one: Bruce Willis in Die Hard I.

After he single-handedly saves his wife from 12 terrorists and proves himself a hero, he radios in a message saying, "I realize whats important now. I should have understood my wife more. I should be grateful for her loving a bum like me." This is literally after he has done untold acts of heroism.

Typical modern western culture: save the world, do heroic ****, then throw yourself to the floor in order to worship the vagina. Fvcking horrible.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Lol. Aside from that it's a great flick.

What really shocked me recently was watching "Tombstone", which I hadn't since being here. Kick-ass movie, then at the very end Kurt Russel after being the ultimate strong man turns into a total wuss, tracking down the chick who he never even kissed then telling her how he was going to basically worship her for eterntity if she'd have him. And she was kind of a tease as well. Of course in real life it worked out for them but I hope it didn't happen that way. I wonder if the producer's wife had some input into the film's ending.

Also Tao of Steve, which was basically a good movie more or less about being a DJ, then he throws it all away in the end for love. He disowns everything that got him the chick to begin with, saying that it was all crap.

I think there have to be endings like this. You wonder if the filmmakers really wanted to leave it like that.
