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.

For Allen's consideration...

http://ucf.edu/~co262176/dj/logo.gif

The logo dimensions are the same, making replacement easy, and I included the white curve. It's GIF rather than JPG.

I'm a professional graphic artist, who's getting into freelance work. I can do a complete overhaul of the main website, for much less than other, equally talented artists. I have an interactive portfolio available upon request, done in Macromedia Flash. If you're interested, Allen, either privately message or e-mail me.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I've already contacted Allen about using my graphic design firm's resources to design and develop a professional and appropriate identity for SoSuave.com and the Don Juan Discussion Forum.

Of course, if you are determined to design a logo that is better than the one you just showed us, then I'll step down because I don't want to be involved in a competition to design a logo for free.

I'm President and Creative Director of a local San Diego graphic design firm. We recently acquired a new client: DRS Technologies, Inc., a multi-billion dollar military equipment developer.

It's not important enough to me to warrant getting competitive, either.

I like the logo, deep dish. I think most DJs on this site would agree that the logo needs to be changed.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Thanks for designing the logo. But where's the genie? Can't very well have a logo without a genie.

wowee a web design thread!

I'm an "ethical" web designer. My rates can be bigger than the T Rex, or non existent.

Generally, when I design for companies, I charge big time depending on the size of the company. Note, however, that my price is still lower than competitors, yet I get more "pay", because I am only one man whereas every other company has multitudes.

And I'm fast. Very fast.

There's a phrase I coined which I like very much:

The more people that work on a website, the longer it takes to finish
But when my church wants a professional website, or when I'm interesting in giving back to a community that has given me much, (such as sosuave...) I don't charge for my work. Not a penny.

I've also been known to make subsites for Microsoft in exchange for free access to a bar :D

Good Logo Deep Dish

Dude,
I just wanted to chime in to say that I like your logo. By the way, why did you change your name from Inspector Clouseau?

I hated the genie. However, this is not my website; so, I have created a modified version with the genie:

Right here.

Simply put, I just didn't feel that it was representative of who I am anymore.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
