"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.

"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.

Haven't dated a girl over 34 ever, to the exclusion of several who lied about their age. I date 8-20 years younger, so I would lend no credence to studies lacking how such data was extrapolated (and simply not by baldly alleging "preference").

A distinction also has to be made between looking older with deteriorating looks vs. looking older with impeccable looks.

Some men are honest enough to admit at age 47 that they want women who are 20. The rest have wives holding rolling pins.

I would estimate that less than 1% of women will say this is ok. 99% will demonize him.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

For the past 8 years all the women I have been with have been 10-14 years younger than me (I'm 46) consistently,even weirder is almost all of them have been natural blondes with blue eyes.

All I date is older women.

For me, it's easier to care less. But of course, the ignore tactic only works if she's really interested in you. Otherwise, it's useless.

First, this article is scientific. Yet women want to say all the men involved in this study were perverts. It's called living in denial, ladies. You can't b!tch your way into being hotter.

Did you read the comments at the end? One woman claimed to be a hot 21 year old screaming all in CAPS about how she can't stand being hit on by older men. Sorry, honey, but hot 21 year old women are too busy taking money from older men to be "on OkCupid just for kicks" and online blogging about how much they hate it. No, this sounds like a fat, middle aged woman pretending to be a hot 21 year old woman:

"It will never stop being fu*king gross to me that guys hit on and try to get with MUCH younger women ALL THE TIME. It really just disgusts me so much. I know its just sociological and men are conditioned to be that way, but for fu*ks sake. I (presumably... HOPEFULLY...???!!) looked older than I was when I was a teenager and I would got hit on by guys in their 20s and 30s constantly.

Note that I am 21 I get hit on by guys in their 40s and 50s. I pisses me off so much.

I keep an Okcupid profile mostly just for kicks/ something to do when bored. I state my “Looking For” age range as 21-30, and I make a point of saying, “please don’t message me if you are a creepy old dude!”"

Well, boo fvcking hoo, cry me a river. :)

I like that graph in there that shows the women than men find most attractive by age. It never varies, and never goes beyond the 20-24 age range. As the article states, it's not really a graph, just a table with a couple of columns in it.
 

"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.
