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.

We broke up... She dumped me... I'm still depressed... I need help guys!

I'd agree with the guys posted above.

Do whatever you're passionate about, get back to what it is that makes your life worth living. Work on your website, go for a hike, hang out with your friends, mack girls (if you're feeling up for it, I wasn't for awhile after my last gf).

It's a cliche, but time heals all wounds. Combined with perspective, it provides an opportunity to look back and see what the relationship was really about, and what you really can learn from it.
 

"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.

If her mom is fat, she'll be fat, too, almost certainly. Women turn into their mothers.

You really don't want a ltr or marriage at your age, because you can't get a girl who is at least five years younger (she's be underage). Staying single is a blessing, because the longer you stay single, the greater the age difference can be between you and the younger women you date.

Wasn't this a LDR anyway? That was a bad idea in the first place. You are better off now that such a lousy arrangement is finished.

I definitely will! I go to college now, but my classes are night classes since I work during the day (mostly old people in my classes).. I've thought about going to church, and I'm flying to California for a couple days this December to meet some friends.. And possibly make some new ones in the process!
 

"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.

Yeah, we were together for most of the time, and when I moved, we decided to stay together...

You're absolutely right B_B.. She will be fat too! Her brother is horribly fat! And my g/f has been struggling with her weight.. It's only 16, but I can see that it will become a problem in the future.. She's cute not, but yeah, in the future I'm sure she will be fat like her mother.

You're so right! Women age faster than men, and I plan to stay single for a long time.. I'd like to achieve my goals of finishing college and getting into business..

Thank you so much B_B! You are awesome dude!

Thank you! As soon as I saw plane tickets for such a cheap price to California, I jumped at the opportunity to fly down there and meet my friends! That will definitely help me get my mind off of her and on other things..

Today I just changed the password to my email addresses and my myspace account, and my ex sent me an email today. I'm so tempted to reply .. Damnit!! :( It hurts.. I know the right thing to do is to completely cut off contact!
