"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 one girl I'll never get over losing. My cat. I had her for 12 years, since I turned 30. We traveled 13,000 miles together, visiting 33 states, and she was always in arms reach and never made a peep. What other woman would have endured such a journey (which was required for my career path). The funniest part is she was an outdoor cat. Even in hotels I'd let her out the window and she'd always return. She went out March 1 and never came home.

My aunt was a psychologist and she said that a cat is the most feminine creature of all, even a male cat but especially a female cat (a Horse is the most masculine, hence they say women who love horses and men who love cats are a lost cause).

Truth be told, it was that cat that taught me how to treat a lady, and how to be gentle. She'd maul me otherwise. She had the purest female aura I ever knew, and I realize now that I never loved any girl as much that cat (pretty pathetic I suppose). Though the love for a dog is probably similar. I wonder if anyone can relate.

Those who are lonely might consider adopting a pet from the shelter. I think they comfort us in ways that others can perceive.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I have my pet a dog, she is quiet and do what I tell her :p

but about the part of when you aer alone you should get a pet.... I remember that EP of house when Wilson tryed to get a cat and what house said :)
 

"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.
