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.

Hi everybody. A couple of years ago, I used to drink A LOT and I would get fùcking drunk every saturday night. Unluckily, after a bad experience, where I mixed together alcohol and marijuana and I ended up puking for 2 hours consecutively and passing out, I cannot touch vodka, rum & gin anymore. The strange thing is, I have no problem drinking wine or beer, I'm able to drink tons of them, but just the sight of Jack Daniell's is enough to make me sick. It's been 9 months from that day and I ain't able to drink that stuff yet.

What can I do?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

obviously in your head, it's assosiated with a bad experience. Maybe you can re-assosiate it with a good experience.

every time before your about to nail a chick have a shot of vodka.......every time something good is about to happen have a shot of gin.....

might take a while (few years) but you'll get your habit back.


what i don't understand is why do you wana be drunk anyway.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

why not just stop drinking like a retard.

maybe know some moderation and only get a little drunk instead of trashed out of your skull.

This is your bodies way of protecting you from being a douchebag.

I had a similar experience with vodka and a friend of mine had a similar experience with jager. It goes away with time (more than a year for me), but you really should take it as a learning experience. I agree with Julian: stop drinking like a retard :p

I got alcohol poisoning one night from drinking beer, Desperados (lager and tequila), whiskey, and port, and the only one of those I can no longer drink is whiskey. Funny how the mind works. That was over a year ago and I still can't touch it.

DOnt be an alchoholic, becouse thats terrible!!!! You should lay off the alchohol for at least a year!! Dont drink a lot at all, some people have drinking problems, when they start drinking they just cant stop.



And by the way: I was drinking gallons of vodka in upstate with my friends, later that day I was in a hospitall, my mom beat the shyt out of me, couse i drank so much i was in hospitall for 3 days throwing up!! I still cant drink vodka couse it reminds me of that day!! It was so ****ing hilaruious becouse right after drinking vodka we went fishing, and almsot drowned!! Lucky me, like a quater of my mind was still functioning!!
 

"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.

This is not alcohol abuse. This is a drinking problem. Problem is - you can't drink. I hate it when that happens. :D

No seriously. You should be careful about drinking. Especially the hard stuff. In my twenties, a friend of mine was found next to his motel bed, dead. He drank himself to death.

I almost lost another friend. He woke up one morning p!ssing something to the effect of coffee. his kidneys shut down and spent a week in the hospital.

Check out the link in my sig!

I couldn't touch Southern Comfort for years and years because the smell and the association with the same smell of (the) puke was too much to bear. Then one day I grabbed the bottle off the bar, poured out a shot, and got over it.

Indeed, learn and practice moderation. Learn your limits and the indicators. When my teeth go numb, it's time to take it easy for a while. If I don't, I turn into a drinking machine (because my mouth goes numb) and start gulping instead of sipping - and it's all downhill from there. What can I say? I'm just a thirsty guy. I can finish a can of beer in 2 SWALLOWS. Not chugging, 2 swallows. I can finish a full martini (i prefer gin) in one swallow. It's a neat trick to show off, but, not a skill that's practical for anything besides trying to kill yourself.
