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.

Damn, good point. I mean not a noun. Thanks :)
 

"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.

Oh, and Hot Ice isn't a native English speaker, so ignore his minor mistakes. I'm sure I'd make many, many more if I were speaking Finnish.

Jez you people sure are shallow. Wanting to shoot someone bc they say LOL in real life? Come on, if it really annoys you that much don't talk to that person. Not many people do that anyway, so I don't think we have anything to worry about. And for those of you that say society is dead, well that's just depressing so go pop some prozac or something. Besides would you rather live comfortably in a "dead" society, or live poorly (living like a typical Ethiopian) in a more "active" society?

Ever heard of exaggeration? It's a literary device. Might want to look it up some time.

True.
Instead, I'd really like that if someone could correct my mistakes since I would benefit from it.
 

"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.

Not only shot, but first buggered with a bowling ball on a 10 foot pole. :rolleyes: They're just mouthing off.

besides, *I* use "lol" (as in one word, not l-o-l) in everyday conversation. Maybe because it's a Dutch word :p

I know it was an exagrattion, it's a phrase (_______ should be shot) I hear quite a lot. But my point was that you shouldn't get so worked up about something so small.

Who gives a sh1t about spelling and grammar on the internet? Its not a spelling bee and you obviously know what they're trying to say with you "superior" intellect so chill out.

Wether someone says lose or loose should not effect anything. Who gives a damn!

"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.

Depends on the context in which you ask the question.

Ask that question to the principal at an inner-city school you'll hear," Gifted"; whereas if you ask that question to a MENSA convention you'll get the answer," Borderline Retarded."

Something for the Grammar Nazis to consider: In the paragraph above I made no less than five incidents of grammatical error (with another two in this sentence), yet you understand the point I am trying to make. I'm just as annoyed as the next English speaking person regarding the ritual butchering of our language, especially in an attempt to present one's self as enviably ignorant. That having been said, given that the whole point of communication is to get a point across, perhaps we're taking this a bit too seriously breaking out the torches and pitchforks.
