"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.

Literally just back in europe from 2 weeks in the US.

At a bar in Nashville early hours a cute little blond came right up to me started a conversation, held onto my hand a made out with me infront her entire friend group.

At a music festival in kentucky the next week a 21 year old came right up to me telling me I was handsome. She was a little buzzed but man American women are so forward.

Not sure what OP is doing because I never approach a single woman on my trip (it wasnt my purpose) but me and my buddy got approach quiet a bit
Context is key. I do get better reception from younger women in that age range. Same for festivals. But you got to have the right look, too. And be considered someone you won't be seen as "shamed" for. Not everything is so simple. Not saying you're wrong, power to you. But it's not an ordinary event.
 

"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.

There was a time, not long ago
4:43-5:07 when the nation was sh-t-ing bricks over reports alleging that men had TOO MANY partners

Things have changed drastically, in a very brief time

It's not hard to see the allure of a man who's affiliated with that life
, when we compare him to the sort of fella who holds multiple PHDs/is "stable", yet persists in writing whole books laden with sentences such as: "The point that the argument misses is that although natural selection involves incremental steps that enhance functioning, the enhancements do not have to be an existing module" https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-gift-of-language

In the short term, the former man's communication style is infinitely more intelligible, thus rendering him far easier and more enjoyable company
Exactly, humans are not wired to be logical. THey are wired to survive. And survival looks and sounds a lot different than "the formulaic structure of the data indicates that the three examples shown in table 1.1 aren't coherent enough to truly indicate low failure rates...." :rofl:

ur probably American raised, tall, kind of chubby with a handsome face and u might have a slightly wiggerish vibe. I'm not even saying this to be disrespectful although I am saying this bc it's funny but also true. The only guys I saw do well with American women fit that stereotype but of course there are all kinds of exceptions. :p
 

"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.

who were the PUAs..
name and shame!
Can't. I'm a man of integrity and I'm taking that one to the grave. It would damage their reputation + I had to save them from a bar fight. lmao.

The logic behind gravitating towards men who communicate lucidly/appear as if they'll be engaging company is actually pretty solid... Thought provoking as much of S. Pinker(Who wrote the sentence: "The point that the argument misses is that although natural selection involves incremental steps that enhance functioning, the enhancements do not have to be an existing module")'s work has been, this isn't someone you'll be able to discuss the practicalities of daily life with. RL Ex:

Ralph Nader probably boasts a higher IQ than every candidate he's run against, nonetheless he's spent the entirety of his political career getting his clock cleaned by more attractive and relatable candidates, in damned near EVERYelection he's participated in

The Smartest Guy In The Room is someone we call upon to draft a 3,000 page report on the long-term effects of rent control in the nation's 5 largest metropolitan areas. NOT someone who can be turned to for solid generalship, especially when sh-t has hit the fan

The thing is smarts is relative. Humans are not selected evolutionarily necessarily for who will have the most potential to draft a 300,000 word analysis on the milk stock market forecasts for the year 2045. Humans would have never survived if women always chose those guys. Intelligence is first and foremost survival, THEN the fancy theories.

Yeah, disturbing truth is:

For the better part of our species's existence, men similar to THESE https://youtube.com/shorts/puIt8lKf31M?is=JTPOHta-8iJxmPhb kept us alive in what were essentially a series of neverending tribal wars. Our hardwiring guarantees that, even in these relatively placid times we inhabit, fellas like Money and The Beast there are the ones men admire and that women drench themselves over
