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.

I've looked into speed reading and even photo reading in the past (have the book only), but never fully mastered any of them.

I recently got an email from a guru I respect and he and many others were saying how good they thought photoreading was. I am thinking of buying the full course, but was wondering what anyones experience has been with this.

Jariel, I know you had used it before. What is your opinion? If anyone else has comments I'd love to hear them as well. I probably would be more skeptical but this particular guru who's pimping it is someone I respect alot.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I didn't have a lot of luck with photoreading to start with, but then I read an ebook on Photoreading by Paul Scheele and it seemed to click.

I had moments where I felt I wasn't taking anything in, but I persisted and it started to make sense. I've been using these techniques ever since and can fly through books now. The great thing is, once you get to grips with it, you can skim over a book and skip all the filler rubbish and focus on the useful content (which is usually a very small percentage of most books).

However, you might be disappointed to know that it's not quite what it sounds like. You won't be able to just look at a page and instantly comit it to memory. Basically, you learn to read the same way you look at a photo or a painting.

The worst part is that these courses are usually really expensive if you get them from some kind of "guru" figure, like in excess of $100. So any way of getting it free, I recommend taking it. Better yet, I highly recommend the book by Paul Scheele.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
