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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I majored in computer sci, and am working as a software engineer. I make good money - almost six figures. But if I had to do it again, I would major in something else, possibly business or finance. The job market is too unstable - unless, like me, you have great education and experience. And the work gets really boring. You also have to work with a lot of geeks.

Hmm well according to my CIS teacher, he says to major in cis instead of finance or marketing since everyone else is majoring in that and it's more competitive. And why communications. I think I'm gonna minor in that because it seems inteeresting to me but I want to major in something that pays the bills and then some.

CIS is a lucrative field, at least for accounting related professions. I can tell you about the accounting side of CIS.

Many of the Big 4 want CIS majors and would kill for an accounting & CIS dual major. These guys usually become systems auditors for public companies and evaluate ERP systems, for example. The standard cert for this is CISA, check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_Information_System_Auditor

Oh, and communications majors are sh!te... i am not allowed to date communications majors any more, those girls are insane !!!

btw anyone notice how communication teachers are all full of themselves and think the communications field is the most important in the world? and assign a large workload because of it? please... the communications school at my university is only set up for kids who couldn't get in to the journalism school.
 

"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.

That's cool. I was thinking of obtaining another degree in business, as I think I want to phase into finance.
