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.

Okay, I been with this girl for about two months now, and yea we fvck and everything seems too good to be true. I absolutely dig this girl and she digs me. However, she always seems to bring her ex-boyfriends up, like out of nowhere she will be reminded of ''this one time'' ...

She also goes into detail about her previous relationships with them, and I feel kinda weird because I dont bring up my ex-girlfriends. I don't know what to do... do you guys think she still has a ''thing'' for her ex-boyfriends or what? .. Cuz I kinda feel stupid when she mentions them, but I dont want to be a d1ck and say something.

Also, her mother yells at her when she mentions her last ex to me... yet she STILL brings him up, everyday.

Gimmie your input.

Later
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

her mother yells when she brings up the ex, because she wants her daughter to learn to shut up.
some girls that are young just have to learn when to keep their mouths closed and stuff.
when they get older and do it, they are either stupid or trying to make you jealous.

Ok, if she's mentioning her last bf every day, that would make me wonder if I were you. Also, have you tried telling her in so many words to shut the f*ck up about her ex? That would work wonders, I'd bet.

Tell her to drop it, or else... NEXT!
 

"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.

Next time she opens her mouth about her ex boyfriend just start to open yours and say something like: " yeah and one time me and my ex-girlfriend were fvcking in the car and I was spanking her ass and man to this day I can never forget that ass" and give her this look like (listen b1tch you don't want to play fire with fire cause my gun is much bigger).

Do this every time and she will eventually get the hint.

You are a very, very angry man.

Anyway, like I said before the fact that she does that is not good. I wouldn't be surprised if he were still around in some capacity-the ex. You need to set boundaries and do it NOW. Tell her no more talking about him, and in fact finding out if she is still hung up on him might be good. You may be the rebound. Or she might be doing it to make you jealous. In any event, you need clarification of what's going on and then you need to fix your situation.

Yes he is a angry MAN. A whole lot better than a pu**y. Which i'm guessing he gets plenty off.

Amen to angry people.:)
 

"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.
