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 other day i got drunk with one of my friends i thought i was really cool with. i happened to tell him i been talking to this chick that we both know and i been trying to tap that and so far things were looking like it was gona get that way. well long story short he told her what i said and now she hates me....

this is like the 5th time this happened to me just this year alone(not this same exact situation but similar).....word travels way tooooo fast. you guys ever had this happen to you..?

i want to kinda get a 2nd social circle where no one knows each other from my other one but i go to school with all these people and its hard...
 

"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.

It's happened. Won't go into any detail, but what happened to me is similar.

But there's no reason to change your social circle just because of THAT. Chances are he had his eyes on her too and wanted brownie points.

Obviously though, if you have lames like that. (That is pretty lame, though it happens.) No reason you can't just improve your social circle by finding more trustworthy dudes to chill with.

This is why if you have your eyes on a girl, just ask someone about her. That's it, then all they know is that you think she's an attractive person. It's normal, she won't hate you, and he's not gonna be a homo and go and tell her about something so insignificant.

It's an information issue, giving that much information is unnecessary.

DO NOT ever give away that sort of information, (Talking about who you're about to smash, her ass, her tits. whatever. All they need to know IS that you have your eyes on her, you think she's attractive).

It sucks but that's how it is, this is why this has happened 5 times, to me it's happened twice as much.

Doesn't matter if you're drunk, just talk about something else. Like how Obama sucks or something. I don't fcking know. It's that serious dawg.

That's all. Don't make a big deal out of it, just distance yourself a bit from that dude. No reason you can't stay friends.

Canada, eh?
No matter what circle you enter your buddies will be the first ones to get jealous and ****k block you. I even had someone who posed as a friend do it to me behind my back, so that it ruined all my chances in that circle. He was possing as a nice guy and actually went as far as telling them I am only after the pusssy trying to get with every woman in there, in fact its was the other way around. That just shows how weak and pathetic some men are. Choose friends wisely next time.

Yup! It sucks, but it can be done. Find people who will make you a better person, not drag you down and add drama to your life. Once you have your new social circle though, keep the information you share very limited--especially since these are all new people. Last but not least, listen to what my grandmother taught me "don't go around kissing and tellin'".
 

"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 society. Good friendships build over extended period of time, not just overnight or after a few months. I'm in LA too, bro. What part are you in?
We can be each other's wingmen. You up for a convo over a snack?
