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.

LOL.. that is what is soo twisted and even worse...... They have already judged you based on what she has told them about you, so unless you can charm all of them when you meet them ... you are dead in the water..

Young women seldom do anything without their friends approval especially their fat ugly friend...
nooo i am the young one, she is the one that is 29 lol
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Stop worrying and start living. You sound like the girl in this relationship because you're worrying too much. Decide what YOU WANT to do and communicate with your girl about it. Only you can decide and be the man, you can lead.

I will play devil's advocate and say that it might a little too early to call it quits.

As you mentioned, there is a big age gap, and you two are at different stages in life. She's in the real world and you're in school. But so what? If you two like each other and have fun, does it matter that one of you is a student and the other out? If you legitimately have a real connection, then just see what happens. My neighbors (early 30's single women) do the same thing with their girlfriends, I swear all they care about is his age, job, and looks (in that order), it's pretty shallow.

Also keep in mind that your ride in school will come to an end and you'll need to man up and join the real world sooner than you think.

I am 48 years of age. In my early 40's I was seeing girls a lot younger than I am. And I mean girls. To me they were kids. 18 years of age, even a 17 year old once.

I usually dated girls in their 20's.

The downside is that I had NOTHING in common with these girls or kids. I actually grew to resent their youth. As I approached 45 years of age I knew they would still be young and it bugged.

That old ideology of a 40 year old with a 20 year old is stupid and doesn't work.

I would talk about old shows like "Get Smart" the original not the new one coming out and it would fall on deaf ears.

I learned that the closer in age you are the better your relationship will be.

I upped my dating age to 30's and even that was too far of a stretch.

My current is 45 and that is perfect for me. I am having more fun with her than I would a girl half her age.

Sure young pvssy sounds better on the surface. And it certainly boosted my ego to my peers. But those same peers do not have to live my life.

Age difference relationships are not the way to go...sorry kid.

If your age is bothering her right now it will bug her later on when she is turning 40 and your just turning 30.

It will bug her when she is beginning to wrinkle and your still very youthful.

I hope your love for each other is strong enough to surpass this.
 

"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.

Right now I am 20 years old, my girlfriend is 29. Right now we are at different stages of our lives, I am still a student in college, and she has a degree and has a fulltime job. It seems as if her friends are letting her know that this will not work out. I know they are just trying to look out for her, they just don't want to see me "play" her later in the future because of our age difference. What should I tell her? Should I just move on and let it be? It's been 9 months so far... This girl and I are deeply in love...
(1) You haven't met her friends 9 months into the relationship? She lets you inside her but won't let you meet her closest friends? Hmmm....

(2) You and her are deeply in love, yet you ask "should I move on?" just because some friends say something to her about you? Friends who you have never met? That doesn't sound like love to me, that sounds like looking for an excuse to get out of a 9 month relationship that you both see going nowhere but are either both too afraid to end it and are together out of convenience.

Before it's through and the night is done, man I'm gonna have fun!

Unless she has incredible genes (actress/anchor woman level of babe) or can afford plastic surgery the good kind, the vast, vast majority of women start looking bad around the 40 year mark and it's usually due to weight gain and natural aging.

Don't get too caught up with this thing long-term and you can come back here and thank us in 10 years.
