"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.

Not sure how many have seen this but this guy definitely conducted himself very well as well as the reporter.
You could see the initial fear by the anchor woman and the reporter as he was approaching initially. But the guy got out his message effectively in a non-confrontational manner. He then told everyone that can relate that he has a family. I just felt this guy did a good and effective job at getting his communication across. It has nothing to do with girls but but I think he exemplifies how guys should conduct themselves and act. Be stern but fair.

 

"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.

Yup. Except for the surface contact part. That is not the problem. It's airborne and that's why his restaurant needs to limit seating...or close.

Yet you see alcohol, sanitizers, wipes sold out everywhere...

I'm not even allowed to sign my credit card receipts anymore. It's either contactless or they give me a new sanitized pen from the new jar...

I have no problem with people washing and sanitizing their hands more. It was a good idea before and will continue to be one. If people want to stop handshaking I'm all for it as well.

But it's not going to stop COVID. Only nature is going to do that I guess.
 

"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.

I'd better get my comment in here before a mod decides to lock this posting and future conversation within.

I'm glad this video was shared.
We are now in an era of normally only receiving one side of a story. The reporter deserves credit as well - for encouraging a point of view that didn't necessarily seem to mirror the news story narrative.
I miss the days when balanced reporting and journalism was the standard.
