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.

A few years ago I stumbled upon a phrase that completely shuts down an argumentative woman every time. I don't know yet why it works, but I think it somehow triggers the "daddy" response.

The phrase is this: "I absolutely do not accept that."

Whatever the point she is making when arguing, that phrase will silence her and she will listen to the next thing you have to say. Now, the main ingredient could be my personal style of delivery of this line, but I think the words somehow intrinsically resonate with women.

This works with women you don't really know, as well as girlfriends and I assume wives, although I've never been married. It works for me 100% of the time, for me at least. Somehow it snaps them back into reality.

I would like a royalty for each use of this phrase. I'll set up a PayPal account where those who use it can pay tribute to their Uncle Atom who just saved them untold misery. ;)
 

"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.

Very good post, I said something similar to a female years ago at work that snatched a piece of paper out of my hand, and after that i never had a problem out of her. In fact we became good friends!

Basically when you say this you are just communicating that you are of a higher authority than her and will not accept derogatory behaviour which builds respect and sets the tone and baseline for future communication.

Well articulated.
