"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.

Let's do this.
Let's do this.
"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.

AAA Competition is back!
Will you be participating Gray?
Will you be participating Gray?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

No, got too much on my plate, though I may occasionally step in and do some of the challenges myself for the hell of it.Robyn923b said:

Since quite a few veterans have joined, you should consider making it a two tier competition. That is, give them the same challenges, but allow them to win within their cohort.Gray The Prince said:

I know there's a few of you who need to sign up but haven't yet! Time's running out!
Instead of making veterans ineligible, I'm gonna go ahead and go with Robyn's idea of making a Veteran's division.

I participated last year, and got pretty far in the competition if I remember.
Sign me up.
I'm still not where I want to be, and last night I backed out of approaching a HB9, I don't want this to keep happening.

21 participants, who will be left standing?
As you see, I took Robyn's idea to heart and decided to put all of the vets into a separate division. At first the veteran tasks will only be slightly harder than the gladiator's task but the difficulty will steady increase as I try to weed guys out. If there's a gladiator and a veteran left standing at the very end, then they will be their respective division's champion and will compete head to head with each other to become the official champion. (Yep, all vets in the competition are now eligible to become champion if the circumstances end up a certain way since their challenges will be noticeably harder.)
Same rule applies every year is still in effect this year.
Two strikes and you're out.
What gets you a strike?
1. Not completing a challenge on time.
2. Failing to do the challenge at all.
3. Complaining about the challenge being too easy/hard. (This wasn't a problem last year but we had an incident of this back in the 2012 comp)
Without further ado, here's the very first challenge.
Gladiator's Division!
Approach seven people regardless of gender and strike up a conversation or at the very least say hello/good morning/evening/afternoon/your shoes are untied/I don't give a damn what you say/whatever. However at least three of them must be HBs. This can be randoms, a girl in class, anywhere. You do not have to get a number this week. What I'm looking for here is small talk and eye contact.
Veteran's Division!
Make three approaches and go for a number close in all three. It does not matter whether you get the number or not.
You all have until Sunday February 23 11:59 pm Pacific Time to get this done
Best of luck men.

Put me on this list, I'll do an extra # close challenge for being late
"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.
