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.

Putin a DJ?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Awww hell fvckin yeah bro! -----> This is one of my favorite Euro-Pop songs of all time! :yes:

I'm guessing that you're Russian prairiedog24?
(Although I could still be completely wrong)

But in all honesty, there is quite a consensus world-wide placing Vladimir Putin as one of the "sexiest" national leaders :cool:

Mad props for posting this video dude! :up:

Naw... I'm not Russian, I have German Mennonite roots (although the ancestors lived in Russia, does that count?), and I work for a Russian owned and managed company. I was their original english-as-an-only-language hire, so I give them crap whenever possible. Also have a teenage Russian cousin (adopted). GF is Serbian.

For some reason I just can't escape the slavs at this point in my life. What can I say. :flowers:

So you're one of these people?

Pretty cool dude... :)

It's actually pretty crazy that you were hired as their English-language-only speaker. We have quite a few Russian stores over here where I live (I was actually working for one for a while) and they never hire people who don't speak the tongue of the motherland! Guess they needed your impeccable translating abilities huh?... and what kind of bullsh1t did my Soviet cousins put you through? :crackup:

In terms of your girlfriend, she's probably pretty hot right? (you wouldn't be with her for any other reason now would you...;)) Serbians are actually the closest thing to the Russian people (after the Belarussians and Ukranians). From an objective point of view, Eastern European women are actually known the world-over for their impeccable beauty. As a matter of fact, Mystery and many other famous lotharios have been known to have made statements on behalf of the superb beauty of Eastern European women :flowers:

I'm glad my people have made such a good impression on you prairiedog24..... :cool:
 

"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.

Haha, I've never seen that wiki article. That's us. I have to say though, lots of that stuff I wouldn't recognize. I should read up!

They even have my specific denomination, and it does talk about them being a Russian group. Interesting, I wasn't sure how that all worked because we're def German, my grandparents all speak German, but their food seems to be exclusively Russian.

Ah no I love my managers and they love me. They tried to get me to stay and go into the business with them, but I left for lawschool, so I only work for them when I'm back on breaks now and over the summer. My "Russian" story about working for them, was my very first day they decided I was a good guy who could be trusted with the store, so they left for 3 hours while I ran things. Three different Russian families came in. The only thing I could do was say "nyet paruski" (at least I knew that thanks to my russian cousin) and write down the bosses cell phone numbers for them. I'm sure they got an earful about the stupid american they hired.

Yeah dude she's awesome. Kinda the reason I'm at this forum though. I've learned Serbian girls have an extremely...umm... "materialistic" cultural outlook on life these days. Radically different from my background. We're so opposite in so many ways.

I'm glad my people have made such a good impression on you prairiedog24..... :cool:
haha... pretty much. I love my russians (and my serb) but deep down inside I'm still USA all the way =)
