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 is one thing I want to say to anyone: STOP getting advice from MANY people. Think getting advice from 50 people a day will make your situation better? NO! The only person that can make it better is YOU. The more advice you get, the more confused you become and the more details you consume.

People can tell you anything to put you down or patch you up. Examples: b1tches who want information on your situation. Perhaps they know you and know your other friends. They just want gossip! I hate when guys ask their female friends for advice. They are not wise. They may have experience if they have dated in the past but where do they get their advice from? Frigging TWITTER! Cosmo Magazines! And stupid t.v shows like Sex and the City. Ugh! :down: Also, they don't give any helpful tips. Most of it is emotionally infused. For example: "OMG. She did that you...? Dump her!!!! Don't even bother to talk it out. It's not worth it. She hurt you :( Be butthurt and dump her." :cry:

Look how stupid that is. It's nothing that is helpful or wise. A smart person will advise you to work on yourself, maybe keep in low contact, etc.


Use your head and maybe talk to the person involved or the closest loved one ever. Limit the amount of people you talk to and keep it with in a secure, safe zone.

It's better to have a few best friends and consult family. That's wise :yes:
 

"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.

You should never blindly follow anyone's advice, take what you can use and leave the rest here man.

And the stupidest thing a man can do is take dating advice from a woman. That should be like rule #2 or something.

Don't forget that the majority of people are for themselves, and want you to fail / remain beneath them. Lotta people even get off on it - and using your weaknesses and failures against you AS you seek their advice and support. It makes them feel better about their own inadequacies, and they WILL push you in the direction of failure. Gotta be careful who you confide in, or seek advice from. People just love to define and judge others.
