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 didn't know who to talk about this. I feel bad talking about it with my other roommates so maybe you guys can help.

Anyways, my roommate is really introverted. He even told me once that he was scarred to meet new people. Total AFC. Never been with a girl..made out...etc. He ALWAYS picks on me. He hits me with water bottles and treats me like ****. He is really smart. He knows about a lot of random info. He watched joepardy like shows all his childhood. very political too.

He is really tall, 6 feet almost, weighs a little more than me. I work out though...so I can easily beat him up. Or at least sumbit him to the ground. I never doubted that. My roommates themselves said to pin him down. My testestorone tells me the same thing. But i have pity for him. He has only close HB2 friend that he hangs out with. Compared to him, Iv been with 2 girls(didnt get that far), made out. I am at home most of the time now(trying to gain muscle/weight).

Today my roommate, his gf, and us two were watching tv. He literally through the water bottle at me. I was so pissed off. Im sure my other roomate and his gf saw that. But i didn't explode. I just let it in. Its not worth it.

Point is he keeps doing this and ruining my social value around some people. I already tried to talking to him....I dont know what to do. I am actually NICE to him too.

After he left, my roommate asked me for advise for cutting down(weight). Gave me back some respect/somehow cooled me down. he is a great guy.
 

"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.

You have to either have him change, your going to keep taking this ****, your going to move out, or he is going to move out. Those are the only 4 solutions that i can see happening for this situation. You have already tried to have him change and taking **** from him isnt working either. So i suggest you talk to somebody about having him removed from the situation.

Im sure there must be something that can be done because you do not want to live in a situation where some guy is being a **** for no reason.

He is a nice guy to everyone else though. He even tells me he isn't serious. I feel like he needs that testosterone rush by putting me down. Quite normal for AFC people right? Making yourself feel better at the expense of someone else? I am his only outlet for all the disspointment and **** he gets all day. Of course I can't do **** back to him because his life is a rut and I'll feel like a ****tier version of **** if i do. I live with 3 other guys. We were all homies since college began.

Thanks for the reply. I'll talk to the other guys about it...

Every time he throws something at you, pick it up and throw it at something expensive that belongs to him (his computer monitor, tv, etc). That will teach him real quick not to be a faggot.

Physical aggression could have calmed things down but he is your roommate, so you'll never have a peaceful clear air in the house after something like that. So, the best thing to do here, is to talk to all other guys, and get their vote on moving him out, and submit a letter to the landlord with all their signatures.... and cut him out of the lease.
 

"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.

agh. Its really wierd. I used to be so dependent on friends/people some time ago. However, the past year has taught me that at the end of the day, you are alone. I really don't mind just starting over again lol/dont give a **** about anyone. he is my housemate, not roommate. However, the other 3 guys I live with. We literally been through a LOT. I am like their "little brother" in some sorts...I always do that though. Always be friends with the people I am trying to be like.

anyways, ill talk to the guys about it tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Does he usually do this kind of behavior when you guys are alone? It seems to me that he is using you to gain some sort of attention of some kind or to impress others even though it's not working. I mean why would anyone just throw a water bottle at you. Since hes at the bottom of the social ladder he's trying to put you down to move on up. I would talk to him one more time about it but if he doesn't listen I say go ape **** on him. I know that sounds drastic but I've done it before and it worked but do it when you two are alone or only with the roommates. Because he's obviously thinking it's a joke so you need to show him it's not.

Dude, wtf.

Don't take that sh!t, I HATE it when people try to invade my space/AMOG me, and always call them out on it.

You can still be friends with him, just let him know his place.

Usually, I just let out a simple "wtf, fvck off that's rude/annoying/pissing me off" and it's enough.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
