"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 on a forced sobriety for 14 days after my procedure. I'm wondering if I should try to continue it. Common sense says I should. Here's a story from a few weeks ago...

I was at bar and started drinking, then I Ubered to another bar, then another, then another, then another, then a strip club. Some of these bars were 30 miles away in opposite ends of town, and some of them I only know I was there because of checking my Uber log the next day. I must have Ubered 100 miles that day.

Unfortunately, alcohol can sometimes help my social skills. And sometimes I feel like my emotions get caught up until I introduce some substance that unlocks them. I could be angry for weeks and not know it until I have a few drinks, then I realize I've been angry for quite some time.

Aside from the negative effects alcohol has on your body, it also would cause me to be less motivated for my business. And I doubt any decent girl wants to date a drunk. But usually once I drink one, I will end up drinking 6-10 at least.
 

"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.

I believe they call it a social lubricant. Though like motor oil, it tends to make mess of things if used too much. :\

What I tried last night was drinking bourbon in a glass. That helped slow down how much I drank through out the night.

As for emotion, it does seem to bring out our "true" selves supposedly. Though I wouldn't take it personally if it comes out as it can be misguided energy, which is beneficial in other things like being an entrepreneur or making dupe music.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Some of what's released was controlled for a good reasons. So some subconscious thoughts you wouldn't have acted on came come out. Since the inhibitions are reduced. Self control is a good thing, no?

did you talk to at least one person in these bars apart from buying alcohol
 

"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.
