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.

"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.

Wowwwwww. I just lost half my money with XAG/USD.

People, make sure you research your stuff before you go into a market not knowing that 1,000 units can lose you $450.

Time to start over =/

At some points it was -2450.

Remember, I started with a $1,000 balance not $100,000. So me losing $450 is similar to you losing $45,000.

Doesn't surprise me that "Don Juan" types would be falling for this. Is FX a scam? No, not really...BUT you have about as much a chance hitting it big in FX as you do playing craps. Wealth accumulation should be viewed as a long term process. Benjamin Graham is a name that you should get to know.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Please explain further. Its nice to be pessimistic, and quote big names. Are you an investor or are you doing the same things as Graham?

At least if you trade forex through the CME Globex, it is like gambling at a state-licensed casino. The Internet bucket shops are more like a street-corner dice game in the ghetto.

While smart investors will retire rich, you'll be working until 65 relying on social security. I suggest you learn about investing before you speak.

My boss makes an additional $800 a week playing craps, two days out of the week for like 4 hours a day.

Just sayin...
 

"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.

Exactly, there's risks in everything. Don't want to take risk? Then you have no chance of a big reward.

Thanks for making it nice and clear MetalFortress.

If you guys think you can make money on this, what sets you apart from all the other people who are trying to make money on this? Most people lose money on this, and the expected value is actually zero.

You have to follow a system to the letter..Only buy and sell when all the indicators are going with you. You need to practice this out for awhile before you are 'game ready'.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If there was a simple system there would be software that could do it for you. Lol...someone is getting rich off of Forex, but it isn't/won't be you. Sorry, but just the truth.

Metal,
I just hope to make it to 65! Seeing that I have set up shop in a country where most men don't reach 60 I am glad to see the vote of confidence you have given me. Thanks, bud.

I think most of us won't make money in forex, but it is nice to learn something new. I was taught never to play in any -gambling-type- game if you do not know what your edge is, and in forex I haven't figured out what my edge is; I doubt 95% of the people that trade currency know what their edge is...

Guys try VT trader it allows you to make trades right on the chart and is very easy to use.

"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.
