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.

OK, my feelings have been hurt in the past....REALLY BAD, no joke not gonna go into it but trust me, it made me bitter toward chicks for life almost. so this girl i've been w/ for about 2 months, very close, doing everything people do in relationships these days...i go away on vacation to see my family for a week and i come back today and call her...she's like "i'm picking up my uncle call you later", she sounded very preoccupied w/ people in her call...well the call never came...she ALWAYS calls back, so now all this sh!ts running thru my mind...she's cheating, blah blah. how do you deal w/ this crap? my past relationships have made me never want to trust women again but i'm trying to deal with it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Rampant jealousy and excessive worrying is the sign of lack of self esteem and self confidence. Stop worrying on her actions and start working on building yourself up before you loose her. Not for her infidelity but for your insecurity.

Re: Cheating

even if she isn't cheating she didn't return your call I would let her make the next move and keep on fishing I prefer the catch and release system anyway!

And never, never, Trust a woman they are wild animals and will bite you if you aren't looking. :eek:

it's been said a million times before-

Jealousy's a bytch.

The way you MUST prepare for a relationship is with an unwavering 'prepare for the worst but expect the best' attitude..

meaning you don't go overboard with unfounded jealousy and suspicion everytime you feel she gives you reason to.

Just trust until she gives you reason not to..there really is no other way if you want a good relationship...if you feel she really is (ie evidence) then, by all means, do what you gotta do.

Moreover, always carry a healthy objective perspective on your shoulders. The threat of cheating wouldnt bother you at all if you realized that most relationships are only temporary and that life would continue to go on even if you were 'betrayed'.

You gotta learn to trust yourself some more.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Never jump to conclusions, always have concrete evidence.

Damn... I normally couldn't be happier than when I'm alone drinking wine... what could be better than getting a good buzz on in the company of my favorite person -ME! Don't let a chick ruin your good times...
