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.

The first 48 is a tv show that claims the first 48hrs after a murder is the best possible time to find the murderer. It should be also be a tv series showing people f*cking painfully resisting the urge to contact their ex's after a breakup, which is exactly what's happening right now. Need some guidance here. Rip me up, tear me apart. I want to so bad. Tell me it's not worth it. Tell me to move on. Give me all you've got.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Dude, I think its much better to just ask yourself some tough questions instead.

Ask yourself why you want someone who doesn't want you. Ask yourself how someone who doesn't like you is good for you.

You should only want to be in relationships with people who think highly of you. If you have to work too hard to get someone to think highly of you, then its the wrong relationship.

Just get real with yourself. No one needs to rip you up.

You dodged a bullet. Pat yourself on the back, Neo.

Always tell yourself to be a fvcking man. Men aren't wimps, so don't be a wimp. Men don't cry, so don't cry.

Men are strong, so be strong. Men are tough, so be tough. You've only got yourself to rely on in this world nowadays, so harden up and handle yourself. If you can't handle some stupid mindgames some b!tch is throwing at you, how can you be man enough to handle anything at all. Come on Johnny, BE A F*CKING MAN ALREADY!

Imagine you had a broken wrist. It hurts like hell now, but by doing nothing it will begin to heal. Talking to her now would be akin to sticking your broken wrist into a garbage disposal for more excruciating punishment.

It will hurt like hell whether you contact her or not, but one way gets better with time and the other way gets worse.
 

"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.

Get out and date other women as fast as possible. See women you are most interested in but if you have to, date down a knotch. The company with other women will help take your mind off the ex.
