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.

In a conversation, talking and judging other people's lives when they are not present automatically elevates your status, as it gives the impression that you know how life should work correctly.

Only speak about others as if they are there hearing what you have to say. That way, you can cultivate some integrity in your life and not turn out to be one of those gossipers. This sounds like some male hamster **** that tries to rationalize being gossipy like what women do.
