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 problems are you having?

Hey guys!

It's been awhile since I have been on this forum, but I see that while there are some differences, very few things really change.

The reason I'm writing this is because a great personal trainer, meditation coach and I are working out a new podcast to help men move forward in life: spiritually, mentally, physically, relationally, and financially. We won't be rehashing material found here and other places, because there are many great places to handle that. However, it will come up at least a little bit.

Since this will be totally free and done as a service to men, I wanted to ask:

What problems are you having?

What do you really wish podcasts like this would solve?

Your help would be really appreciated. Hopefully we can be of value.

Thanks!
 

"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 think you're not getting responses because your questions are way too broad.

The problems of men in Western civilization are pretty well defined by now, and they are universal in scope. The problems we in this forum are facing are the same that all men in Western civilization are facing. The only difference is that we here at SS have a deeper understanding of male/female dynamics than the general population.

Agreed. The first thing that I thought of when he mentioned problems were the ants that are trying to
invade my house...

Amdro ant bait works really well. Get the kind that kills any kind of ant, and the one that you spread outside, around the perimeter of your house. They eat that instead of getting into the foundation, they bring it back to the nest, and everyone of of them dies. Yay!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

lol, my dad used toothpaste to plug the holes :)

Terro liquid bait works well if they are coming out of the tiny holes in your molding, etc. They'll take that back to the nests as well. Amdro a few times a year along your perimeter will keep them from even coming into the foundation.
