"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.

Hi Guys,
I've been reading game and masculine self-improvement stuff for years. I've got the online business, spent three years travelling the world, got a strong body from working out, and a good library of solid books...

I read and experimented with some game back in 2007, met a great girl and in a hurry got married a short while later.

Now in 2015, the desire is gone from the relationship and I'm looking to get back into the game. Still living with wifey but want to put on my training wheels and see how the world looks now I'm 37 and with a head full of grey hair!

I live in a country where I don't speak the language beyond 'hello' and 'thank you' so that adds to the difficulties a little.

I read a The Rational Male over Christmas and decided its time to actually reach out to the guys here to help grow a bit of backbone in this area of life.

Will be studying the DJ Bible next and putting it in to practice. I'll let you know how I get on, and sending you salutations from Prague in the Czech Republic!
 

"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.

I always encourage fields reports from guys over 30 as we share experience .
Czech women are very nice compared to here in north america , I think if you learn some language you will be able to get women.
Keep us posted
 

"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.
