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.

Jack and Jill are going to counseling, and trying to 'work out' their problems. Apparently Jack has been miserable, drinking too much, and not wanting to come home every night. So, apparently this is causing him to not satisfy Jill's needs.

I almost puked typing that. Wife went out to lunch with the chick yesterday, I told her not to let this garbage poison her mind. I mean, sh1t, she's already setting it up to be 'his' fault and all this time he could have been getting a leg up on getting a lawyer, documents, etc., he's getting sucked back in. She's really throwing the 'kids' angle hard and heavy.

Mark my words, this will all happen again. If Jack doesn't deal with this crap now, he won't have a second chance. It's friggin' sick.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I didn't realize the other thread was locked and I'm not sure why it was. Anyway, that was my prediction, that this Jack guy would be wanting the poon again and she would reel him back in.

I've not talked to either of them. What I meant was, Jack was miserable BEFORE the cheating (Or during, who the fvck really knows when they started). I have no clue how he is now. I actually don't think he's pvssy whipped, I just think he's being made to feel like the whole thing is his fault because of the kids, and not taking care of her "needs". Complete and utter bullsh1t, maybe he is whipped. I know if he takes her back my impression of him will drop significantly, and so will everybody else's who knows him, whether they will consciously admit it or not. H3ll, I bet people make him out to be a 'hero' or a 'real man' verbally, implying that the easy way out is to split, when in reality it's the opposite. That's how twisted up this stuff is.

This whole thing is just a real life example of the matrix composed of people fairly close to me. A rant more or less.

Poor Jack, his being setup and his drinking away in ignorance. Oh well, the weather is not bright at all.

Anyway back to business. Also note to self " must avoid women like jill at all costs" before it becomes a clear and present danger.
 

"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.
