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.

My right arm got Twanged, laying on my side jacking up my van with a slightly too small hydraulic jack. New rotors. I can't twist off a pickle jar lid. If you tap on the bone on the inside of the elbow, that's the spot. I have stopped working out with weights, just low key Mtn biking. All I know is rest rest rest.. NOT HEALING. Been a month and it seems to want to get better then the slightest wrong activity and it's set back a couple days. Supplements ?
 

"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.

I had something similar... same area... was so painful I would almost puke trying to hit a golf ball. I actually went against the grain and got theraband flex bars. I started doing the workout for golfers elbow... and it was insanely painful but I actually healed. I think it was forcing more nutrient rich blood into the inflamed tendon.

I recently had tendinitis in my arm and it took 2 months to heal completely. Wearing a forearm brace or tennis elbow brace might help you.
 

"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.

TOPICAL CBD OIL. Sh1t works wonders.

You can also see a Healing Touch or Reiki practitioner if you have the cash.

Have you gone to a doctor to determine what the issue is? Potential cortisone injection might help

Have you gone to a doctor
Thanks for asking. But I'm 3 years away from Medicare/caid. I'm a self employed, single, male, home owner. And I'm white. I will gladly die before writing another outrageous check to the medical industry.

I have decided to not use it until it's healed. I'll make it better & stronger later on.

If it's an injury that requires surgery it may not get better that's the whole point.
