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.

The poll about belief in God? Last I saw of it, there was nothing but interesting discussion, seriously, what was the point of deleting it??
 

"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.

Religion and politics are not allowed to be talked about here.

Thats why it was deleted.

So yeah you are not being persecuted these were just long standing rules here though it is fun to see if we can get in a discussion about it from time to time before a mod deletes it.

This forum is for "anything else"...... with a few disclaimers and astericks.
 

"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.

Here you go, take it here. It's not that we have anything against religion in particular, it's just not the focus of this forum.
Fine, but it's not like I posted it in the dating tips forum either. Kinda sucks because there were some interesting things people were saying in response. I also recently had my thread on The Pickup Artist show shut down because it mentioned race, even though the discussion was completely civil and interesting and totally relevent to the world of pickup, like how to game black chics versus other chics. I just think the censoring is getting a little too heavy handed.

Me too. I generally don't like forums where the mods go all 1984 on everything.

I think a better rule would be, don't lock it up until members start personally attacking each other.

I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.
