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'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Uh I'm still doing the same **** at 32 as I was at 21. Nothings changed except how much money I have. Girls will still blow you in the parking lot.

Any Birthday that you spend ABOVE GROUND, and HEALTHY, is a "good" day.

ENJOY yourself tomorrow...and "self-reflect" the day AFTER.


That's an ORDER!!!!:)

you're feeling wierd cuz you are still plugged in to the matrix - i know i know, everyone is sick of hearing about the matrix, but thats how it is.

when we are young we think that life will 'begin' when we are 'older' and 'adults' and have 'jobs' and a 'house'.

so as we get older and we discover that - WTF, life doesn't 'feel' much different than it ever did - we get this 'wierd' feeling of 'what the heck is going on?!"

VU hits the nail on the head - every day above ground is a good day! this is why some of the happiest people in the world are senior citizens, because they are just thankful they woke up! they have 'unplugged' from the matrix - they are chasing after status, or money, or women (well not in a needy way anyway), they aren't thinking about whether they are a success or failure.

they are just happy they took a sh*t this mornign and get to play lawn bowling later on.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It gets better in your 30's. Trust me.

All of your life experiences in your 20's makes things SO much easier in your 30's.

You are wiser.

Hey Happy Birthday!

What ever you do, don't go looking at new trucks. When I turned 30, I was still plugged into the matrix big time, and was feeling like sh!t for getting older.

I went to look at new trucks to compensate, and almost bought some huge 40K truck that I didn't need. :)

The sooner a person realizes that life just keeps getting d@mn better every single day you get older, the better off you are.

Enjoy the first day of the rest of your life.

It's all over dude, might as well forget about life as you know it :(

Seriously though....what's with the turning 30 "crisis"?

I guess I thought about it for a second when I hit 30, but I don't remember it being a big deal.

When I was about 25 my dad told me that your 30's are the best time of your life. I couldn't have really imagined that back then, but so far he was right. When I hit 40 lets hope he was about a decade early :)

My old man bought me a 3 pack of Rollaids for the big 3-0.

What concerns me is that I'm actually using them....
 

"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.
