"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.

Every sunday night, since forever. I've always sat down and watched TV and ate takeout. When I was a teenager I would go to the dixie cafe and get grilled country pork chops and fried corn on the cob and watch law and order criminal intent and boomtown on NBC. When I was broke and starting my first business I would put together 10 or 15 dollars and go to sonic and watch the sopranos.

I don't care where I am in the world or what I'm doing, that's now instinctive. Now we order ****ty dominios pizza lol and sit and watch movies on amazon prime or netflix all night.

For all the things I do or have done, this has always been one of the most rewarding things. Cut the phones off get off the internet, cuddle up wiht the misses, eat **** hawaiian pizza and enjoy each other.

It's the simple things in life really. it sounds silly but it really is.


What are some of the simple things you like to do?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Good topic dude. Sunday Night HBO is a treasure. I have even taken to planning my wknds around them.

For me, the weekdays I don't have to work are life's little pleasure. Strolling to WaWa while everyone who is working is driving, checking the Daily News while everyone else who is working is hellbent on the coffee station, getting two sizzlis to enjoy while everyone else who is working is eating their bagel on the road, getting home and listening to Sirius Bluegrass junction.

On those days I feel like a king, or at the very least, landed gentry.

Battling another young guy on the tennis court. Win or lose I love the intensity and rythm of the game. And it's so tactical. What shots of yours r on and off on the night. Recognising his weaknesses and playing Your Strengths to them
 

"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.

What a cool thread. Sunday brunch with great coffee, eggs Benedict or breakfast tacos.
Simple but decadent when done well. Anything building the relationship with the kids is a treasure. They grow up so fast.

For myself a few simple pleasures:

- A warm soak in a soak tub
- An evening dancing Latin or swing
- Playing pick up soccer
- Cup of great hot tea
- Conversation
- Chess
- Gin Rummy (the card game)
