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.

Name a country/nation(s) that you would relocate/expatriate to.

Expats seeking a better quality of life, better financial leverage, and passport bros chasing foreign women are all over the media, and related to a lot of things we discuss here on SS.

Based on your needs/desires, where would you consider giving up your home for a new life? ,,, and why?



*Or would you just stay put and appreciate what you have?
 

"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.

When I retire I will move to either Greece or Italy. It's something I always planned to do, not because of any particular reason. These countries are where my parents come from. I do stand to inherit some property, most likely Greece (Salonika). My younger sister will likely inherit whatever is in Italy. It's very likely Greece will be where I end up.

Yiassou brother!! My father's side is from Messenia.
Beautiful land, water, food, and women, I just don't think I could move there though.

I feel sorry for y'all Americans.
Usa is the first 1st world country to fall of his cliff.

There are now places in eastern Europe that I'd rather be than the USA. Its like a team whose playing for the top spots in the second division becomes better than a team at the bottom of the first division.

Most of my family is located im south America, and perhaps if I make enough money in my lifetime I'll relocate to that place.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

In order:

1. Puerto Rico - but it’s still the US, life moves at a different pace love it. All of the benefits of being in the US, few downsides.
2. Bariloche, Argentina
3. Puerto Varas, Chile
4. Puerto San Jose, Guatemala
5. Puerto Peñasco, Mexico - lots of paramilitary police presence, some police actions, but it’s because it’s 90 minutes from Lukeville, Az and a fairly big crossing. The locals and tourists are left alone for the most part.

USA has been third world for a while now

:cool: My father is from Stoupa! Along with my cousins we would go to Voidokilia to try to meet girls all the time!

I swear some of you really need to seek the help of a professional. The Cluster B pathologies are so apparent it’s getting kind of weird.
 

"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.

I'm fine in the US, I have too many ties here. I don't feel like I'm living in a third world country. The politics here is terrible, but you can ignore that until you can't. Canada seems to have gone full on Communist. I don't care about passport bros. I might consider a South American country, but I haven't researched enough to say which one.

Panama
Ecuador
Portugal
Colombia
Costa Rica
Philippines

Probably some other ones...these are all countries that I will be able to comfortably retire on my SSI check when it comes that time and live comfortably and coupled with my 401K, live like a king.

Most of these places also have good healthcare systems, lots of ex-pats that live there and a good quality of life with costs 50% or less than what we pay in the US for pretty much everything.

Aside from South America, I'd consider the Philippines. I've always been fond of Filipina women, although that wouldn't be why I would be moving, if I did.

I haven't thought about this question much until recently, but as of now Holland (especially Amsterdam) is extremely appealing to me. I'm awful at learning new languages so that rules out a fair number of places.

I am surprised ( and i shouldn't be its sosuave) that nobody picks out ; germany , norway,sweden Denmark ect, croatia ,poland ect . Is that because of the climate?

Those places are safe, great quality of life and also tons of pretty women. Especially a relocation. Thats not a vacation. Thise places will have an American like standard of living, perhaps even better than the States in many ways.
 

"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 am staying put in Canada for now. Better the devil you know then the devil you dont know. Have received covid payments, welfare, had an insurance agent job and when I lost my job, employment insurance payments. Plus lots of cheap Spanish hors around that I will likely never visit. We have been spared from climate change problems. All my Trinidad relatives prefer here over Trinidad.

In my case it’s the weather, the women, the population density, doing what I love most which is being on the beach and have it be warm. I also happen to speak German so it wouldn’t be much of an issue to live in Germany, as I have in the past - but it doesn’t appeal to me.

The Pleiades and Andromeda are both sounding good right about now.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
