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.

Being with someone doesnt make you happy, it just makes you happier.

Their are advantages to being single:
1. You can do what you want.
2. You can fool around with as many woman as you want.
3. You can have a lot of fun.
4. You can go out anywhere.
5. You can spend time with your friends more.
6. You can focus on your own goals.
7. You can make time to improve yourself.
8. You dont have to listen to any problems.

One day you going to be married and these things I listed you wont have. So enjoy it while you can obviously there is a limit to how far you can go, but my suggestion is to keep being single and having fun till you meet someone special.
 

"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.

Exactly...

Why have one when you can have ten?

The time for one woman is the time when you decide that a particular ONE woman is different from the others and you can maybe love her.

The mindset that you should have ten women if you could is absolutely absurd and makes the dating situation in america all the more worse. Men--You cannot complain about the excesses of feminism when you yourself constantly stick to this mindset. Nevermind that women tended to be attracted to alpha males and whatnot, if you want to lead a good life with women, you must have a mindset that is conductive to leading a great FAMILY life as opposed one in which everything is a matter of sex.

having one hot chick with incredible personality that'll stick with you forever and ever through whatever hard **** is way worth than having ten girls at the same time!~
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You must be a woman who is confused about what that mindset means. That mindset means that I can enrich the lives of ten beautiful women and have great meaninful fun experiences with them, as opposed it just one woman. It is my choice whether or not my relationships are geared towards starting a family or having a comfortable and pleasurable time with someone I enjoy being with.

Who said there isn't room for both?

Every now and then it's good to have a woman who will love you and you can love back. But most relationships don't last long.

And then you're single again.. for awhile hopefully. You don't have to swing all your life and you don't have to be hooked to a chain all your life. Mix it up, try both sides of the circle.

Good point, WC2...

In my own experience, I'll do things that a lot of gals will disagree with, and want to discourage. I'm getting another degree. If I started this in a serious relationship, she may discourage that. I was dating someone when I started, but more as friends, and she still had issues with it, lol.

But, what getting together with a woman does offer is, companionship, togetherness, and, not to be overlooked.. growth. You learn how to be with someone, work out issues. You learn how to be more sociable, think of someone other than yourself, give up a reasonable amount of your time, open up, etc etc etc.

Don't shy away from either one.. single, or together.

and then what happens..?? You come to know that she is nothing but a hor-bag in disguise and yer picking up the little shiny bits of your broken red heart turned blue. :D happened to so many of us all the while.. its very difficult to know she is 'the one'

"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.

Re:

This is a very good post. Although I've been single for 11 years now, I could definitely relate to some of the advantages the original poster listed.
