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.

Lieutenant? Are you gonna do some administrative work now?
My Chief is getting up there in age, in his 70s, having some health problems. He is in the top 5 of men in the world I respect. Love the guy. He tried to make me Sergeant a couple years ago, but I turned it down because I had a lot of I.T. security compliance crap going on then. Was in process of moving to a new criminal justice database system. But that is all slowing down now. He hired a guy off the street to be Sergeant, and he is a total dead beat. I told Chief that if he makes me Lieutenant I will take a lot of stuff off his plate that the Sergeant should be doing. But he won't have to sh|t can the Sergeant if he doesn't want to. But with chain of command having the Sergeant between us, I can't do a lot of it 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.
