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 actually kinda like this idea. Sell Puerto Rico, buy Greenland form Denmark and offer a Iceland and Norway a chance to join the American community.


 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

How awesome would it be if Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden were offered statehood and joined the American community.

Name 10 outstanding things that America has to offer?

Nah...I'll offer a 50% discount, how abt 5 outstanding reasons?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I do not think he has the power to do this. This has to be authorized by Congress.

Coronavirus, racism, civic unrest, lawlessness, massive debt.
I'm pretty sure I could do 10, but I'll stop there.

We'll, the fella who thinks people wants to come to America has not offered a single thingy yet...

Only the desperate wants to enter the US.

Some of you guys really need to get out of America and visit other countries.

You're linking to a CNN article? shame on you for giving those filthy liars any clicks.

I think the PuertoRicans should be deciding their own destiny and not be dictated to in such a fashion. I also doubt the icelanders and norwegians would be interested in joining the US and giving up their sovereignty in the process.

Let Puerto Rico do what it wants to do.

Considering our failed state at the moment, maybe they get while the getting is good.

Also I can't imagine Greenland wants any part of this mess.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Puerto Rico will be the 52nd state, after DC.
Washington, DC is ur country's capital, very much doubt it will be a state, rightfully, it belongs to the federal govt and should be govern directly by the federal govt via a dedicated ministry, as in most countries.
 

"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.

The District’s 800,000 tax-paying residents are being denied the right of self-governance that all other Americans enjoy.

Didn't they get to vote for their mayor?

I'm confident that they have the ability to enact bylaws that's pertinent to their city and wellbeing.

BTW all central governments, in the entire world needs land to operate from, they can't simply operate on land that's govern by a separate govt, it will create tremendous problems for a country to function.
