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.

Did I miss the memo saying that it's alright for half-naked guys to dance like retarded girls or is tectonik just some screwed up sociological phenomenon?

See here

And here

I honestly couldn't get through them both without laughing. The first time I ever saw someone doing tectonik in real life, I laughed my ass off until I fell off of the rock I was sitting on. It lasted a good 5 minutes.

I mean, my primal urges to punch these people in the face are barely suppressed by my laughter. I know that I've said that you should do whatever you want to without caring about what others think of you, but holy sh*t lol, some things just shouldn't be done.
 

"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.

It takes work to be good at any type of dance, even the wierd fad ones like tek, wutang, or whatever other dances some niche group of the 21st century concocts.

If that's his scene, and he goes to electro parties and dances like that, he'll pull more tail than you. What's the point of bashing him?

I can't really pay that out considering i do the Melbourne shuffle but it does look pretty gay :).

BTW, i strongly recommend not punching one of them in the face unless you want to get beaten up by a gay. It takes good strength, agility and a fit person to be good at techno dancing so in all likelihood they can probably beat up your fat self.

"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.

I looked at the video and got no reaction.
He's doing his thing and he seems happy doing it. So what is wrong?

the question is not if he's good, b/c obviously it takes some skill to be able to do that crap.

The real questions are

1) Can he make a living doing that

2) Who is going to employ him ?

3) Who is going to pay to see that crap.


Hence why he's posting youtube videos of it.

Nope, dancing and especially raving is about self expression and fun. There are youtube videos of everything out there, i see no reason they have to be linked to a career.
 

"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.

Consider this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2tJbkPZ9W8. In Korea:

1) Yes, I've heard 60 grand a year
2) Battles, exhibitions, dance shows, commercials
3) Hot korean girls.

Who says it's not the same in France?

Stop hatin' because you can't dance. Any dancer would appreciate the dedication and skill and pay their respects. The haters are probably fistpumpers at the clubs.

Korea's got some of the best B-Boy crews in the world though. it's turned into something of a national pride thing over there

a few of my friends are professional dancers here in LA. between teaching and performing, they make enough to live comfortably and travel the world. it's cutthroat as hell though. other dancers always trying to bite your sht and get you to teach them moves. hardly any authenticity - just a bunch of competitive artists tryign to build their resumes

and my last post still holds. krumping is gayer than all of that

Actually dude, I can dance. I mostly do freestyle boogaloo and hip hop, but I still think tectonik is retarded.
