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 would you choose: Girls or Money?

Here's my situation:

I've started working at a place recently that has a few cute girls working there who's been giving me eye contact and smiles. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to any of them yet as I work a different shift and they get off just when I come in.

I'd like to just go for it, but I got a job offer that would pays a lot more and I would need to quit my current job soon if I take it. What should I do?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

To the question in the title, both.

To answer your question, take the job offer if it is what you want, and then go back to your current institution as a customer and hook up with one or both of those girls. It would be better that way too because if you stayed at your current job and decided to screw or date any of those girls that you work with, it opens up a can of worms later on.

Before I would have said women. I had little desire for money. Now I'm a bit bitter and poorer, so Money.

Techas right. Many men have lost money chasing women, it's hard for a man to lose women chasing money.

Wow. I can't believe this is even a question. The very fact that you are considering giving up a higher paying job for the sake of some girls you haven't even talked to yet means you've probably already blown it with those broads.

Take the money any day of the week. I could understand if you were in a serious relationship with a girl, but you haven't even talked to these broads yet. For all you know, they could be total b*tches, they could have herpes or they may have zero interest in you.

Chasing money will never lose you women. Women love a successful man. Chasing women can lose you money though.

For Christ's sake, take the job!
 

"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.

Money's better always. Women will chase you, no doubt.

If you chase women, you lose money.

Your priorities are out of order. Money over b**ches! That's my ruling.

Case closed.

Agree 1000%. This forum is full of stupid questions lately (no real offense intended, but I can't believe someone would need to ask this).

Not only that, but work is a terrible place to date girls anyway. I meet enough women in my regular non working life that I don't need to start complicating relationships at work. You should too.

Career before women, always.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The job man, THE JOB. Wonder what the ratio is for available good jobs as compared with available women? I'm a believer in that there is no such thing as a dumb question but this one I had to think about. Take the job and make us proud.

OP congrats you win...RETARD THREAD OF THE WEEK !
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
 

"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.

It's not even about the money really, I mean it depends on your career and how important it is to you. If you're working at mcdonalds and have been offered to work in a cafe, I could see why you aren't bothered by it. But if your career is more important to you than that then you should go for the promotion. There are lots of girls around, but to do well in a profession you have to commit to it, whatever it is.

Also you could just ask one of the girls out before you leave.

The reason I ask is b/c I've been focusing on my career for the past few months with no time for women. I've been passing on lots of opportunities to the point where the temptation is starting to get to me. But you're all absolutely right. There's plenty of other fishes in the sea.
 

"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.
