"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.

the all black outfit in the body picture makes me fear that I'm being catfished

I've been messaging her today, do I ask for number for today or keep talking to her for a couple days?
Idk anything about online dating
I barely know what getting catfish means

But yeah that body pic is not telling you much
 

"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.

she can't be horribly overweight. Her face looks good. I don't think you can be more than 20-30 lbs overweight without it affecting the face


catfish = you expect a girl in decent shape and she's 50 lbs overweight

she already admitted to me that she stopped working out and gained some weight but she said she really wants to get back into it. I'm very good at training people

This is like the house that you can get cheap where the structure is phenomenal but just needs some moderate work to make it perfect

she has probably the best looking face, for my taste, of any girl I've seen on online dating. Such beautiful eyes, smile, etc...

Online? Yes, I would say so.



Yes.



Great. Now just follow through with it. One step at a time Dave. Meet her and make a decision from there.



Just roll with it for now and work with what you get. Work on new pics in the meantime. You will get there. Its just a prelude, Dave.

yea she seems very interested in me. I'll ask her out this week


but I am frustrated that I'm not getting better results overall. I think my reply rate is like 10%. I need to hire a professional photographer

so I figured it out

the first pic is her when she was thinner - you can see her face looks lean. Second pic is after the weight gain

She keeps responding to me instantly, seems very interested, so I'll take her out. Hopefully it's not as bad as I'm fearing

Do it within 24 hours, Dave. Do not wait.

You can do it tonight if she's really that interested. That is the entire point of the site, after all: EVERYONE IS THERE TO MEET PEOPLE THEY ARE INTERESTED IN.

She is interested in you.



You will. We will get there. Once you have everything just right you will be able to flake on women for any reason you want because you will not have enough time for them all anyway. You will have to start eliminating out of necessity.

But for now. Meet her. Don't try to plan everything. Just go and see what happens. If you don't like her, you don't have to do anything else.
what happens if I like her but she's 25 lbs overweight?

You should not be thinking of that right now.
But got to tell you a few lbs overweight is not the end of the word especialy if the two of you are connecting very well.

yes we're connecting very well

Looking at her pics, she seems like a very nice person. Has a very nice smile and expression in her eyes. I'm not surprised we're getting along so well

Leave it for the meetup. Your goal should be to have a good time and to verify attraction. Please do not worry about having an LTR until your a successful dater.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You have already achieved with this girl everything Match can do for you with any woman. It is time to take this interaction off of the site. Just ask her if she's interested in meeting up. Very simple. THEN make further decisions from that point on.

I met her on plenty of fish

what are the odds of that? POF is mostly garbage, bots, hoodrats and what not

If she weighs 400 pounds but looks good, you keep dating her

If she weighs 100 pounds but looks bad, you dump her

Doesn't matter if she's 1 pound overweight or 20. What matters is how it looks.

I posted pics on previous page, that's probably how it's going to look in real life

I want a woman with a hot fit body.

Then it doesn't matter if she steps on the scale and it says 357.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

she's 28
no kids or dogs
doesn't smoke and barely drinks (what i want)
college educated
seems very nice
lives by herself
great boobs
face is EXACTLY my type. Literally could not find a girl whose face is more my type than that


the 2 downsides is she lives about 45 minutes away from me and she looks like she needs to lose about 20 lbs - which I'm worried will be worse
Meet her in person before you disqualify her. I swear you Seinfeld every girl you meet. Next we'll hear how her second toe is a smidge longer than her big toe.

IMO, he only needs to take one simple step. Meeting her. That's it. He can decide to walk away from it after that if he wants to. Dave can be Dave if he wants to.

Just one step is all he needs right now. The rest will be decided the moment they meet.
I'll get her number tonight

I got about 5 girls that I'm talking to now, all of them are really attractive in the face, but finding one who is both attractive in the face and has a hot body to reply back to me seems to be so hard

I do seem to be having much better reply rate going after Latinas, Italians and Middle eastern chicks. This is probably good for me to know for the future to aggressively pursue darker skinned women in real life. They seem to like me way more than white girls do

Why not? Your assuming she will lower HER standards and be interested in you. If not you have yet another excuse not to date a real live woman that is not your sister!

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
