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 posted this in the Discussions section but feel that it's more suited here.


I carry these mentalities into my relationships, social life, school, and the business world.


1. Always remember to have fun. As you learn the inner workings of connecting with people, dealing with women, approaching, talking, you find out that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. However, you ALWAYS learn. Always remember to have fun.


2. Most people never win because they are afraid of losing.


3. Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.


4. Be proactive. Don't let opportunities pass by you. Don't let the world pass you by.


5. The greatest power you have is your knowledge. (You chose to become proactive and come to this website to further your knowledge. That's commendable, and you have an advantage over other people. Now use this knowledge, and ACT. Don't waste it.)

6. Don't be the kind of person who has no guts, who gives up every time life pushes you. If you're that kind of person, you'll live all your life playing it safe, doing the right things, saving yourself for some event that never happens. Then you die a boring old man. You'll have lots of friends who really like you because you were such a nice hardworking guy.

But the truth is that you let life push you into submission. Deep down you were terrified of taking risks. You really wanted to win, but the fear of losing was greater than the excitement of winning. Deep inside, you and only you will know you didn't go for it. You chose to play it safe.



I hold these mentalities not just in my relationship life and social life, but with business and school. Whether it be dealing with investments, finance, college, networking, I believe and act with these mentalities.
 

"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.

sound wisdom lol..

I agree it takes courage and being proactive to get what one wants in life. To me, life is about setting goals and having something to strive for.
