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.

Oh boo hoo, you could get hurt running with the bulls.

Realize that you could die while going to work in the morning. You could die in your sleep. You could die eating lunch from a restaurant. You could die at any time in your life.

If you really want to run with the bulls, do it. At least what's going to kill you is right behind you instead of God knows where. Having said that, when I get some money I plan to do it before I die.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Running with the bulls is the stupist **** Ive ever heard of.

If all you guys are so tough and want to show how hardcore you all are, why dont you go to war or some**** like that. Or would that be a little too dangerous?

So you are saying that inlisted men are fighting just to prove they're hardcore, huh?:rolleyes: Is that why you joined up? You are in the service, aren't you?

I dont know bc someone asking on the internet and i answering on the internet would not be accurate as to what i would really do... right here i might say oh hell yea any day lets go!!! when in reality if im there with the bulls about to be let loose i might change my mind.

I dont think anyone can say until theyre theyre there.

That idea is about as bright as trying to cross the Belt Parkway in NYC during rush hour. Same premise.
 

"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.

I never said that, but if its closeness to death that your searching for then why not join armed forces.

Why do you think Im inlisted?

Just assuming by the way you were speaking about going to war and killing to prove someone was hardcore. So what do you do? Are you hardcore?

I hate bull running or fighting...it's just lame. Fight someone else in a match in a ring...be a man, go freefight...or whatever.
I don't dislike bull running because it is dangerous (hell...I drive motorcycle and sometimes drive 150+ mph (250+ km/h), but hurting animals like that...is just lame.

But a bit more ontopic I guess:

You only lived if you do what you wanted to do. (or at least a few of those things).

No, I was just giving you the benifit of the doubt since I don't believe anyone else thinks so anyway.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well that's not too difficult since the traffic is many times at a dead stop during rush hour in NY.
