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.

Which beer would you have?

So I think Sgt. Crowley, Prof. Gates, and the Pres. are going to have a beer at the Whitehouse tonight. I heard that the Whitehouse only serves domestics. Apparently Crowley has the better taste in beers choosing Blue Moon, the professor Red Stripe or Beck's and the President a Bud light. Bud not a bad beer though. I kind of surprised no one chose Sam Adams since they are in Massachutes and all lol.

What beer would you choose? Let's try to keep to Domestics, but you can put an import in too but try to keep it to something that's commonly available and well known.

I'd probably choose Molson Canadian although that might be considered an import although technically Coors owns Molson. So for a Domestic I'd probably go with one of the Michelob brewed ales, Shock Top. I think Michelob and Budwesier is probably the best mass produce American lagers but I can't deal with the byproducts and the resulting headaches from the particular yeast strain in A-B lagers, but that is a topic for another thread. My choice would be Shock Top, I like it better than Bluemoon.
 

"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.

Well you're not going to get that beer at the Whitehouse. And it's not BYOB. I don't even think Brits are welcome at the Whitehouse. This thread is for Americans only, or at least limeys that are knowledgable about American beers :p. (and no comments about American beer not being any good. That's about as baseless as saying California wines aren't good. They're damn good. lol)

Either Killian's Red, Amber Bock, or Sam Adams. That ballpark. (If I had to pick one... um... Amber Bock.)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

American? Something you can find easily? Sam Adams is about the only thing you can get at 7/11 that's worth drinking.

Actually American craft brews are pretty amazing. I've had beer in Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Oktoberfest in Munich, Mexico, Republic of Georgia, Canada, etc., not to mention numerous imports here in the states, and I have to say with the exception of some of the Pilsners and Hefe-Weizens I had in Berlin, American micro brews can hang with the best of them.

It's an argument I'll never win, but comparing most of the mass produced American beers to the craft brews and imports is like comparing Wonder Bread to a loaf of handmade sourdough. They will both make a sandwich, but only one of them adds another dimension of flavor.

Why would you invent your own beer, if you know the best is in Europe and you can import it?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Beer starts tasting like rubbing alcohol to me after a while, so I say if I'm going drink just give me some vodka, tequila, or 151 and let the real talking start.

What the fvck are you talking about? Where the hell did you get 'Brits" from???
Just for the record, I drink PBR, and Coors.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, and dont understand my joke, Click here
 

"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.

When the officer asked that guy to come outside to show his identification, he shouted, "I will come outside if your momma is out there. Is your momma out there?"

Would you really have a beer with a guy who said that?

No beer I've ever tasted can beat Spaten Oktoberfest. Bavarian beer at its finest.

Crowley is a better man than me. Good to see a cop with some self-restraint.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
