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.

How is it going, fellow DJs? I have been having some depression in the last few weeks, not women related, just life in general and the situations I am in. Today, I have decided that I want to change it now. If I were to continue like this, I would be a fulltime loser in no time.

I need to learn some new skills to broaden my knowledge. I am going to take some random classes just to see what's out there. I have also played around with photography, art, etc., but haven't gotten too far to actually hang out with the crowds. Out of all that I have tried, none of them seem to have "clicked" on me. So, I need some new ideas what are skills that would be the most interesting, affordable, useful and are still accessible by someone living and working fulltime in the city (Los Angeles) like me.

Thanks a bunch.
 

"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.

Set goals for yourself, improve yourself so that you are investing your time, not spending it. Ask yourself- who do I want to be in 6 months? Who do I want to be in one year? 5 years? 10 years? Imagine the best you possible, the ideal you. Then set your goals to get there. Embrace the ideal you, fullfill your dreams.



Give me a store clerk with goals, and I'll show you a man who'll make history. Give me a man with no goals, and I'll show you a storeclerk.

That's inspiring. I have never thought of "investing" my time. Thanks!

Now, the ideal me would be owning my own boat. Well, I don't have a boat, neither the money to buy one and keep it in the marina.

Until then...shall I not be doing something else?

As the phrase goes: if it floats, flys, or f-ucks- you're better off renting.


As for what you want to do, that's up to you! Take sailing lessons? Work on a cruise liner? The limits of your life are defined by the limits of your imagination. Start imagining, and then get to work!

Great idea Amante.. i could actually go for some volunteering myself the way you put it!

My suggestion would be getting into shape if you haven't already. Aside from being/feeling more attractive.. having/exuding more energy.. being all around healthier and possessing more stamina for the day, and respect for your body, the chemicals that it produces are just great!! You can get a lot more testosterone from increasing your muscle structure, and the endorfines that are produced from a solid workout... powerful stuff.

Doesn't have to be a really big time investment, but it's one of the best you can do for yourself atleast.

Also do you read much?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Dude, why not take up sports of some sort? Team sports are ideal

Competition is good, you make a lot of friends. Joina team that plays social basketball or something.
