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.

I opened up YouTube and got a couple of clips of Pearl on Pier’s show, I don’t have network tv so I wasn’t aware of her media penetration.

I know many of you feel she’s just trying to make money and doesn’t believe what’s she is saying, but I’ll be damned if she is not out there on these shows espousing many of the things we talk about here as truth. I’m impressed she’s putting it on the line, she’s getting the message out there either way.


 

"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.

What makes you believe she is insincere?
