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.

So what's your halloween costume?

I'm really only making this thread because I'm so psyched about mine, Captain Morgan (traitorous to my own username perhaps, but more fun to dress up as). Just finished ordering everything.

Got the perfect red outfit, wig, beard/mustache, boots, everything... detailed down to the gold earrings, polka dot bandana under the hat, dual pistols, sword, and blue cape. Ought to be a lot of fun. :)

And of course my classy line during costume parties gets to be..

Me: "Do you have a little Captain in you?"
Her: "No.."
Me: "Want to?" :D
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Me and my roommate are going as the Boondock saints. We got the jacket from Hot topic and then got some airsoft pistols guns we're gonna paint all black, and then we're gonna draw on all the tattoos (maybe airbrush them on). And then we got the blue jeans and undershirts they wear, and the sunglasses style they wear.. We're trying to find some rosaries like what they wear in the movie. We're pretty stoked, it's gonna be awesome.

Last year, I had a pretty funny lazy costume.
It was during the hype of Ashley Simpson, etc.

So I gelled my hair straight up into this d!ckwad spikey fro
White Shirt and Jeans, and on the shirt I wrote in a big black marker...
"FVCK YOU, I'M RYAN CABRERRA"

It was a HIT, needless to say. Every chick there loved it, cause it was such pop sh!t, that they would know about. Great Night.

Think I might just do the pimp thing, this year.
Flex some game on some b!tches, and try to get a dollar or 2. lol
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I'm going to be rid**** from pitch black. It's a cheap and eazy costume and it gives me an excuse to show off all the hard work I've put in at the gym.

Ash from Evil Dead 2, chainsaw and everything.

But what I really need suggestions on is my gfs costume. She is asian, so either an asian themed suggestion, or a regular one that would be hilarious if asian (asian Elvis).

Actually we're thinking of her going a Towelie off South Park.

Probably gonna be a cowboy, and throw on some cool lookin' shades just for style.

Do you think that is too common? I mean I don't think it's the most original idea ever invented, but at the same time it might stand out more than people think. Thoughts?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hawaiian Man.

Basically an excuse to wear my silk hawaiian shirt with the top 3 buttons not done up and nothing underneath... and walking down the hallways of my college.

I'm invited to three parties tonight but don't have a costume.....I need one that doesn't cost more than 10. Any ideas?
 

"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.

I have a white suit jacket but dont know what else to do with it.

I didnt exactly prepare for Halloween this year..
Yeah, get some white suit pants, tuck in a pastel colored t-shirt, wear some white loafers with no socks, some 80s-ish or pilot shades, and you're the dude from Miami Vice.
