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.

in the middle of my mother and father.
Parents split time ago, my bro and i spent prob 60% of time with mom 40% with dad.
School was in moms city, dad was half hr away (still is)

So last year my dad wanted my bro (A) to switch schools. his grades were garbage, and dad wanted to see A more obv. It didn't go over well with mom, obv she wanted to have A live with her and go to school there.

He was caught in the middle of my rents, over their stupid self righteousness or some ****. It was like dad wanted to have A to piss mom off and vise verse. It was about A as well but not as much it seemed..

Went to talk to a 3rd party counselor lady few times. helped cause the 3/4 of us were getting no where, and it was only putting stress/tension/anger on everyone.

Ended up that A went to dads for 2011/2012 school year. his grades were better. he made new friends, enjoyed himself imo..didn't complain much after month or 2. New school and such, no faces you know w.e...

So again the bull**** started this summer. Mom went and without telling anyone signed up A for his OLD school for this coming year. told dad,A, myself week or 2 later..

fawk here we go lool, more stress/drama/bull**** all over. A is caught in the middle again. torn between 2 parents, 2 schools, 2 towns, 2 different sets/groups of friends etc...
don't get me wrong, i love my bro. but he doesn't speak up when he should, he is not as opinionated or firm footed as i am. il tell you to "fvck off, iv had enough." he wont, he tells you what you want to hear kinda, cause he doesn't like to see hurt feeling. up set mom but make dad happy etc..

i can tell he is stressed/angry af. maybe a bit depressed? i dunno what to do here. i dont like seeing him like this, im pretty close to him and try to tell him to stand up tell em both to fvck off. he needs to make his own decision.

he wont even talk bout it now, heard so much i think hes gonna snap soon.


What do you guys think?
How can i help him help himself?
try to stand up for him but rents be snapppping sayn its not my business and ****. wtf

help?
 

"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.

dude only thing here I can say is, ask your bro what he want? go back to his old school or just stay on the new, if he don't say anything, you can't do anything, some people are like that do whatever others tell then just to make others happy. also I don't know if she is also you mom or not, but you can very well just say to her to stay far from him and let him learn and growth on the new school since his score are better, and tell her if she really is a good mom would choose waht is better for him and not for her ego

Well, for one, I don't know if this is the right forum section for this.

Two, it's your parents decision since, well, they are the parents. If you seem to realize that he is happier and better off with your dad then you need to step in and let them know. But ultimately, it is not your decision since you are not the guardian.

I hope you do know for a fact that he is happier with his dad because your post sounded biased, almost antagonizing.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
