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.

LOL! Some of you guys should try this. Funny clip.

George comes to the realization that he should try to do the opposite of everything, so he does, his luck changes and everything begins to go his way including getting a girlfriend, a job with the Yankees and moving out of his parents' house. Things begin to be unlucky for Elaine after she buys a box of "Jujyfruits." Kramer appears on Regis & Kathie Lee to promote his coffee table book. Rachel wants to break up with Jerry and he readily agrees, because his luck has been "even Steven." Elaine's eating of "Jujyfruits" causes Pendant Publishing to go under, and later she realizes that she and George have traded places.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I love this episode of Seinfeld. It's a trip man. I actually did this one time.
In the past,I was just the typical nice guy and whenever I did approach a girl with my "niceness",of course I got turned down. So one day I decided to just try something different. I figured what did I have to lose,what I was doing wasn't working,so if I do something completely different,something so completely off the chart and it still doesn't work,what difference would it make? So the next time I approached a girl,instead of doing my usual "nice guy" thing,when I approached a girl at a counter while checking out my groceries,this is what went down:

me: You don't have a ring on your finger,good. So when are we going out?
her: I have a boyfriend.
me: (in a stern voice) I DIDN'T ASK YOU IF YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND,I ASKED YOU WHEN WE'RE GOING OUT.
her: Well,I'm going to (name of a club) tonight.

Man,I was shocked. I was so taken back,I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe that worked. In fact,I was so dumbfounded,it knocked me back into "afc mode",and of course,I screwed it up. However,I did learn a lesson that day. Be willing to branch out and try new things,things that you would never in a million year even dream of doing. If you have "zero" now,then you try something different and it still doesn't work,you won't have lost anything,but you will have gained a little more knowledge on what not to do.

Cool thread man.

A better place, a better time.

That rules dude, I like it. Trying new things for progress is great.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
