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.

for my American brothers in arms:

It is the Soldier
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

-
Hooah, Oorah and whatever the squids and flyboys say…

We all game some, some gave all.

22 combat veterans take their own lives everyday in the US.

"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.

Interesting how the WWI armistice was signed at 11:00 am on 11/11.


Kinda like how D-Day was on the 6th hour of the 6th day of the 6th month of the year (5:30 am on June 6th - 666) and named Operation Overlord.


And how there's the Illuminati seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill.

Almost makes you think there's something behind this numerology and occultism stuff.

As Smedley Butler (who at the time was considered the most decorated Marine in US history) wrote, "War is a Racket".

To be fair, these soldiers - God bless their good intentions - are the main reason why the rest of the world hates the USA.

In our case, my unit, my war. To a man we were all in our late teens and early 20’s. We were there for the right reasons in our hearts, whether or not it was the right thing geopolitically or who benefitted most in the end. Or if there is a council of twelve, Illuminati, bilderbergs, MK Ultra, pizzagate, an alien base under the Denver airport et al or not.

Sheepdogs, who put their lives on the line to defend the defenseless.

A man who volunteers for service is typically there for duty, honor and country. Old fashioned and quaint ideals for most of y’all.

I gave my pound.

Thank you for your sacrifice sir
 

"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'd also include warriors of any allegiance that fight for the values of Western Civilization, like these Heroes:

I had a non-blood-granduncle that was at Omaha Beach, and a blood-granduncle that was KIA in WW1.

I honor all soldiers fighting for their homeland. However this post was specific to the American holiday called Veteran’s Day.

Thanks
