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.

Well, I still consider myself a highschool student because I have to get 6 more credits before I'm finished. You see, I was having some difficulties in school (read: stress, chronic sleeping in, depression) and switched from high school to adult day school, thinking that the more adult atmosphere would help, which it didn't, and I still had the same kind of attendance problems, so I dropped out of that too.

Right now I'm working part time at a supermarket, trying to get my game back together. I'm going to look into taking some correspondance courses while I get in shape and try and forge some positive routines, and eventually join the army reserves and possibly a **** circle.

So, with that background filled in, I'd like to know if there is anyone here who has dropped out of high school, or knows someone who has, and your input on the whole thing. I find that in high school, kids can be rather intruding about what courses you are taking, your marks, your post-graduate plans... at least among the circles I'm in. I find myself rather embarassed to talk about what happened, and avoid it through evasive conversation. Despite what most think, I don't think girls are attracted to guys who drop out of school, you have to be REALLY tough to counteract that, and I certainly am not. When I do return (as I may as well go to high school instead of ADS, it's just easier, more courses, better teachers, less costs), I would like to be more popular and in control. Fitness is one thing I can do... but even that probably isn't enough.

Has does a near-total loser practise the Don Juan Boot Camp? I'm okay with eye contact, I make it with a lot of people, but I'm afraid I might just creep them out... I look all greasy what with the red splotches of acne everywhere...eh well.
 

"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.

acne...

To get rid of your acne go to proactiv.com or call them, that will clear your face up. Also take a shower in mornin and night. If you put sunscreen or anything on your face make sure it is dermatologist approved. Last thing dont touch your face so much either.

i dropped out of high school for 2yrs and went back, it was a much better experience then when i went previously. people will respect your decision to comeback aslong as you respect it yourself and look at it as that your actually working to finish it and not just droppin out. you can make the most of the situation if you just talk to everyone in your classes and socialize with the cool ppl, but you have to be somewhat cool yourself to do that,and girls wont ****ing give a ****, if your good looking theyll talk to you, when i went back i had half the girls in the school on my left nut wanting some but most were seriously too young for me since i graduated when i was 21, but going back older and more mature isnt a bad thing it makes u realize how stupid most of the HS bull**** is
 

"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.

My thoughts exactly. When I do return I intend to focus a lot more on schoolwork.

I've always had a bit of a babyface and was rather shy and un-hairy, so I was always concerned with all that silly stuff. Now I won't be... in fact I wish I didn't have to shave so much. Bloody hell... I think I'll shave half my legs.
