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.

I guess in N. Korea, sometimes you eat the dog, and sometimes the dog eats you.

North Korean Leader Fed Uncle To Starving Dogs

The Singaporean Straits Times cited a report from Wen Wei Po, a Beijing-control newspaper, that said Jang Song Thaek and five close associates were stripped and fed to 120 dogs that had not eaten for three days. The entire process, witnessed by 300 senior officials, lasted for about an hour, the report said. Fox News could not immediately verify the report.
 

"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 don't understand why someone just doesn't assassinate the guy.

Sounds like propaganda. I may be wrong.

^^^Could be, but what really sounds like propaganda is the reasons for their deaths.
 

"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.

It's propaganda. The story said it was 120 "hounds" or "hunting dogs" who were deprived of food for five days. First of all, there is nothing left to hunt in North Korea, because the starving people have killed and eaten almost everything, including almost all the dogs. There would be no point in maintaining a kennel of 100+ hunting dogs. Secondly, domesticated dogs don't just eat people because they have been without food for a few days, especially hunting hounds. Thousands of years of domesticated breeding have taken that wild aggression out of them. Dogs are not the same as wolves. But North Korea doesn't have either one, so their people don't know that.

Now that I think about it, I bet the uncle found out he was about to die of cancer or something, and the dog story was all his idea, his way of taking one for the team to help his nephew's legacy. I would guess his actual death was the opposite of the story, a quiet suicide from something pleasant like morphine or heroin.
