"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.

I'm just wondering, what do ya'll think about ppl with accents? I mean, cus even though I was born in wisconsin, my mom is mexican and my dad is italian, so they have like the thickest accents ever, and I couldnt help it but get an accent like a combination of their two accents as I was growing up.

It seems like at times this accent holds me back, because I'm afraid of saying something because I know I'll sound weird. And its the same way when I'm with girls, it seems to hold me back. I mean, its not an accent as thick as fez's (70s show), but still an accent.

Idk, I've heard girls find accents sexy too, but, I guess its only a few of em. So, idk, what should I do? It seems im afraid of talking sometimes, I hate it.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Trust me, you don't want to talk like people in Wisconsin. They have the most annoying accent ever.

I say be proud of your heritage.

I personally am not a big fan of accents but I am italian and I love everything about Italy, so it personally wouldn't bother me. However, if any girl is gonna make fun of you for your accent or anything like that, then she's not worth your time in the first place. If she can't accept you for who you are then forget her. . .Be brave and don't hold back from the girls, like I said, if they don't like you for your accent then they're not for you in the first place.

It is not the accent that is holding you back, it is your lack of confidence in your voice. You need to realize that everyone speaks a little differently, and you are not a worse person because of your accent. If you are confident in your delivery, people will think your accent is sexy. If you speak like you want to hide your accent, you cannot expect others to like it.
