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.

"What kind of car do you have?"

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Awesome response. You should have asked her what kind of vag she has.

I've been lucky enough to not have dated any hardcore golddiggers. But occasionally, I'll get ones that ask why I don't hold doors for them or pay for dinner. Sh**...how about they hold some doors for me.

Just got this sent to me via text.

I immediately had the Swingers scene stuck in my head and laughed my ass off.

I am supposed to take this girl out tomorrow.. My reply was: "One with a big enough back seat"

gold digger much?
Witticisms like these FTW!
 

"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 wonder, what's wrong with opening the door for a woman? I usually open doors for girls, whether they are just friends or girls I am seeing. It gives me a certain charm which they all appreciate, and it's a gesture that takes zero effort.

I hold doors all the time. It's just the request for it that annoys me. As if a girl is owed these courtesies just because she has a vag between her legs.

Aaah, that is true. If girls specifically ask for something like that, I just tell them I don't do tricks on command and refuse to give in. I completely agree with you :>

There are 3 kinds of girls i run from:

1º Attention Wh*res.
2º Golddiggers
3º "Nice Girls"
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I had a woman ask me that a few weeks ago. The funny thing is that ever since I quit drinking, my reactions are so much sharper and smarter.

Without even thinking I replied in the most logical fashion I could given the type of question she asked.

Her: What kind of car do you drive?
Me: That all depends. How much do you weigh?

That took care of the stupid questions from her. :rockon:
