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.

You guys noticing quality of service declining a lot in restaurants these days?

I think Covid pushed the good employees in the Food Service sector into other careers. They found something else because they had good social skills. When restaurants were able to operate under normal conditions and capacities, only the less skilled waiters, bartenders, and family members of the restaurant owners came back to the trade.

Margins for restaurants are razor thin now as they try to recover from 2 years of losses. Chains are closing locations that don't produce and pulling their labor to more profitable locations. I don't see it getting any better.
 

"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.

I think they are battle scarred from having guys hit on them.

i once was trying to rent a flat. I was friendly with the girl (who was attractive). At the end I said “oh shyt, I’ve just realised I don’t have your number”

she said “sorry I can’t give you my number, I have a boyfriend”

i said “thanks but I mean to rent the flat”

rejected even when I wasn’t trying. Thanks for that, love.
She did expose herself as a bad landlord (overly suspicious), so there is that.

The service is great. You are just hitting the wall and coping.

Stop using the product Jesse and you might see service improve. Have you seen yourself lately?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Have y’all also noticed how terrible flying has been since the pandemic has ended?

Maybe it will get better now that they've expanded the range of allowable cardiovascular health for pilots.


Gee, I wonder why they did this? Lol.
