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.

and I'm new to the forum. (this is where you say "Hiiiii Joe, Welcome aboard young padiwon :p ) I just found out about this forum and seems to have a fun, mature crowd, so I had to join. I'm still reading the stickies and getting my knowledge on. All this makes sense. The problem I've been having lately when talking to a girl is when they ask "What do you do?" I confession is I'm not 25 but 21 years old. I droped out of college to work full time w/ my father in his business. He owns a Marble & Granite Shop. I never feel 100% confident when I explain to a woman what I do. Usually they ask if I go to college, I usually respond w/ a simple (no, I work full time) then they ask where? I then seem to stutter to choose my words carefully because I feel like if i say I work w/ my father they might get a wrong impression by it. I don't know. My question is what would be the best response for my situation?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Whatever you tell them.... say it in a confident manner. Running a family business is nothing to be ashamed of.

To not be so self consious - to have more balls and be proud of what you do and where you come from.

Confidence is key.

Bull sh#tting about what you do is never a good idea.

By the way this is the mature forum. 25 Yrs old and over.

Q. What do you do?

A. Whatever I feel like. You?

<smile>

Now that you now what she feels like doing, get a date to go do it.

Btw, keeping the job a mystery builds interest. If they still ask about your job right off, probably a gold digger. So tell 'em you're a professional hoe handler.

<no smile, straight face>

Oh, back-hoe handler, you know, construciton. What the hell were you thinking, wench???

Offending a few woman now and then is good for the soul. Half the time they want to suck your d!ck after that

You young foolish bastard - do you know that your work status is probably above 80% of the world's work force status??? You are rich and don't even know it!!!

Only a hor would take such a high work status as a degrading position!! Flee from this sick mentality!! Since when was working bad??????????????????????????
