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.

Putting an end to this.

Over the past 9 months or so, I have really gotten into cigarettes and pot. I stopped pot and eased up on ciggs for 2 months for swiming, but I'm back on and been smoking about bud almost every day and a pack a day for the past 7 months.

But I have such easy access to it (friend deals), that it's just too tempting.

But not anymore. I finally feel the need to let go of all this crap. It's been slowly and slowly bringing me to the bottom of the barrel mentally and physically.

I never have any energy anymore and when I tried swimming again, I felt tired after a few laps, whch was extremely unusual for me. My short term memory has gone to hell, I can barely remember what happened 2 days ago. It sometimes actually feels weird being sober sometimes and I'm always thinking about toking up again. Whoever said pot wasn't addictive, lied. Mentally, it can be VERY addictive.

Cigarettes are a whole different story. I've tried quitting before, and failed. But I didnt go through with it. This time I will.

I'm actually burning out at the moment from an earlier session. But today I realized that finally I need to get my life on check because this **** is bringing me down.

From now on:

-No pot at all, not even on a rare occasion
-No cigarettes AT ALL. Even if I'm going insane, I'm going to pull through.
-Swim workout 5 times a week. Gym 3 times a week. Gotta get my ass back in shape.

The point of this is to get myself back to being sober again and taking better care of my health.

I will update this thread daily with my struggle for quitting cigarettes and pot.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
