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.

There was this guy in a wheelchair with a HB date. At first, I felt good for him "Look at this guy he has a disability and he isn't letting it get in his way." Then I noticed him and his gf were acting like douches, complaining about the way their drinks were made and asking a waiter he knew to come over.

So out of the blue, the guy says to me and my brother "Excuse me guys, do you also notice that the lights are flickering?" So my brother says "Actually, no." So he says "fvck you, you guys are sh*tfaced too." My brother said "Actually this is coke." He said "You guys are wasted too." My brother says "Wasted on life."

The last 10 minutes or so we were there (we were done eating) the girl was eye fvcking my brother.

Anyway my question is, what exactly was this guy trying to accomplish? Was he trying to sound alpha and impress his date and just failed horribly at it? He reminded me of a guy who has read David DeAngelo and trying to be "****y and funny" but being completely unnatural and failing miserably.

Also what's up with her eye fvcking my brother. He's good looking, sure, but is it that he embarrassed him and therefore impressed her?
 

"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.

Women eye-**** everyone. They also check out guys' physical features constantly. They just deny it, and act like it didn't happen - as they prance around claiming its the personality that counts. All lies!

For sure the wheelchair guy was acting like a ****. But I'd be inclined to cut him some slack, personally. Must be fvcking awful being in a wheelchair.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

A lot of people with disabilities compensate mentally by being jackasses. It is an unfortunate truth. But if you know anyone with a disability who doesn't act that way, it does make them that much cooler :cool:

Tell him the lights ARE flickering...60 times per second.

She found your brother physically attractive. Him not taking any sh@t was a bonus.
If he had said that about the lights flickering 60 times per second she would have ripped her clothes off and pounced on him. Girls love references to electronics and physics! ;)

I'm gonna go against all of your guys' pity on the wheelchair guy. NO ONE, wheelchair or not, should every disrespect you. Being in an unfortunate situation does not give anyone the right to disrespect people. Always punish bad behavior.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Well he looked like the kind of guy that would be a douche, wheelchair or not. And it came out of the blue like I said. Like REALLY forced on his part, like he rehearsed it in his head. And I just don't get it. He's in a wheelchair and already has a super hot date (Kim Kardashian looking only not skanky/minimal makeup/naturally hot), he's probably at least getting a bj after the date, why the need to try to impress her (and backfiring) with some canned material?

It seriously reminded me, wheelchair or not, of a guy that just read about "****y and funny."

On another note, this is why dating guru sh1t and "pick up theory" is crap. ****y and funny isn't "a$$hole/douchebag, bad jokes"...it's calm, cool, collective...Luke Perry in 90210 back in the day. He's assured, but it's natural and doesn't try to be a wannabe AMOG. His character in the show was respected because he was a man that was smooth yet respectful.

Agreed. There is never an excuse for being a jerk, and thats all they have are excuses to justify their behaviors. People hurt them, they can't trust anyone, blah blah... Nothing but excuses to make themselves look like the victim; always be able to play this crap card, and have people sympathize with them - as they're treating everyone like trash. Just because their lives are **** - doesn't give them free reign to ruin everyone else's. It's not your fault they are disabled, unlikeable, worthless, etc.

I'd wager that this guy acts in such a manner because he can. He probably figures no one is going to insult him back - given his disability. That's usually why people act the way they do - because they can get away with it. If he was worried that someone would beat his ass, or insult him back - he wouldn't be doing this. Bullies come in all varieties, but they're always cowards hiding behind something.
