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 want anarchy, a$$hole?

A friend of mine really hates anarchy. He believes society should be ordered and regulated by a computer.

Anyway, we were at the bar and there were these goth dorks in the corner. They're dressed up in black and depressed and stuff. One of them starts talking about how cool anarchy is, how they could do anything they wanted, and etc.

So my (getting drunk) friend gets pissed off, goes up to them, and beats up the kid (the other goths sorta ran off). His last comment was, "You want anarchy? Here's your anarchy, a$$hole!"

Man, I'm never forgetting that night. I'll have to write it down or something.
 

"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.

Maybe it taught those Goth kids the difference between playing dress-up and the real world.

If so, it was a valuable lesson.

"They're dressed up in black and depressed and stuff."

LOL at that line.

Thats a very crazy tendency....today he beats kids, tomorrow he will sober up and recall there was KKK....or people with other religious view he doesn't like... or people with other skin color he doesn like...

If I were you I would smack your friend - at least it would distract him from doing very stupid things.

Thing about anarchy

If there was anarchy, there would be a sharp increase in crime, followed by a sharp drop to near zero after the crooks started getting a taste of good 'ol wild west style vigilante justice.

Think about it...
 

"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.

Yeah... what kind of lesson he is going to deliver next? He is going to teach people with other views how to see the world "his way" with firsts? Oh I forgot, getting drunk before is a requirement....

Nobody is talking about if anarchy is good...it is not the point. The point is what to do to people who talk about it.
Today he beats goth kids, tomorrow he might as well shoot people with other religion just cua he heard "it is bad for somehting".

Goth is not a healthy lifestyle - especially if you're good at it.

It robs you of your humanity and turns you into an emotionless lump who doesn't care about anything ... not even himself.

The world and everything in it loses all relevance to you and life becomes a meaningless chore.

I lobotomized myself with Goth in HS - I purged myself of all desire and attachment and convinced myself that Life was nothing more than pointless suffering - and that's a big part of why I'm here.

Your friend is lucky he didn't catch a bottle over the head.

Re:

How amusing it is to see the one thing he loathes so much as you stated, is the one thing that enabled him to seemingly prove his point.


I guess it is true, that that which we hate, fear, or loathe, we become, as its what we focus on that we become.

If he heard the same conversation, turned round and it was a bunch of tattoo weilding Bikers with biceps to match, he'd of sat back down and finsihed his shandy.

Sound like a bully to me with self esteem issues.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Insecure or not, it was hella funny. I'm only depressed because I haven't got a video film of the event.

Those kids didn't even know what the actual political definition of anarchy are, so I doubt it has anything to do with ideology. Their definition of anarchy, judging by the stuff they said, is "being free from the stupid government" and "shooting jocks and stupid people".

Don't room fights take place in the USA too? It happens here quite a bit. You guys make it sound like some sort of killing spree, it was two guys having it on. Yeah I know its a bit wrong and stuff, but I still find it funny :D

I think your friend confused the actual meaning of anarchy with the political term. Most goths are anarchists because they don't believe in consumerism or capitalist exploitation of the working class. the actual political anarchy means the (peaceful) destruction of the state, since the state is the foremost user and beneficiary of violence. The idea is that the world would be run by workers for workers, not by faceless politicians and clones wearing suits, selling their souls to greedy multinationals.

I think for his next trick, he should go to a boxing match and try to beat the everlasting piss out of the boxers while screaming, "YOU... AREN'T... SUPPOSED... TO... HIT... PEOPLE... MOTHER... F*CKER!"

"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.
