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.

Im looking at this kid's album sales and damn....its freakin astounding.

I don't see anything special about this Kid. He's a bit of a fad, he looks like an effeminate girly boy with no talent whatsoever.

This kid is no different from Tickle Me Elmo, like Tickle me Elmo it was adorable and it was huge back then....not so now.

I'd take the Jackson 5 over Justin Bieber any day. Its 2010 and the Jackson 5 have sold 250 million albums worldwide..and I'm sorry...I just dont see the same type of Magnitude for Justin Bieber in the future. Lol...30 years from now, I just don't see people referring as Justin Bieber as a freakin "Legend" like Michael Jackson or Frank Sinatra. More like in the " Whatever happened to macaulay culkin ....I mean Justin Bieber?" section in Tiger Beat magazine.

Enjoy the fame while you can kid..because four years from now its gonna start sinking.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

1. Bored, easily influenced teenage girls. Add psychology major dropout brain tank group that specializes in "marketing".
2. Some singing/dancing/etc talent. Doesn't have to be anything major.
3. ???
4. Profit!

Teenage girls like what other teenage girls like because they don't want to be left out. It also helps that they don't have any taste in music. This rule applied to most people, not just teenage girls.

It's just a fad, like gay vampires and those battery powered hamsters from Japan.

If the world was rational, brain surgeons, physicists and aerospace engineers would be superstars. This goes for anybody in highly technical professions where intelligence and hard-work are barriers to entry.

IMO:

The average IQ of 'a person' is 100.

The average IQ of 'a people' is 80.

The average IQ of 'the people' who built society is 120.

Justin Bieber is just being a capitalist. An average person with a cute face, with a team of intelligent supporting staff, marketing to 'the people' which are incredibly irrational. Get any one of them alone though and 'they' (see: we) seem normal. Just the way it works.

If only I could tell people that the reason 'a people' are stupid is because they are moving with the herd and following the ass of the sheep in front of them. The outcomes of intelligence are creativity and individuality, and this is suppressed in anybody when they become blind followers in a particular cause.

This is roughly what I've learned in my marketing classes.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

We give a damn about Justin Bieber the same way a student gives a damn when dissecting a dead frog in science class.

The best way to illustrate this is 'design by committee' also known as, the reason why General Motors made such sh*tty looking cars. When you get a bunch of people in a room, dumb things will happen even if those people are intelligent individually.

Look people, these record companies already have the framework set up for the next fad music icon, all they need is a body to fill the empty slot. I'm sure there were a few other candidates that were running for his position.

It's amazing how a strong marketing campaign can force feed a society anything.

He's an entertainer. You don't get it, I don't get it, but it happens. Dealing with what matters to us should concern us considerably more.

As much as I hate to admit it, the little twerp has talent and is girlishly pretty. Little girls and teenage girls love that. I honestly don't know why I hate him so much. I do that he goes near my Katy Perry again, I will end him. I'd like to meat him one day and hope he turns out to be an arrogant prick so I don't have to wory about feeling guilt when I smack him in the head. A guy can dream, eh?
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Marketing. Plain and simple.

People are stupid. Just laugh at them. And hope they never get elected to Congress. :p
