"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 used to use it when I was younger but I just feel like I kind of grew out of it. If I'm talking to a person I prefer for it to be face to face or like on the phone. Its just more fun that way. But people ask me in amazement why I don't use the thing. My brother sits on it for about 3-4 hours a day and I just see it as a waste of time when you could be out drinking with your buds or something.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

LMAO. Thats like saying "Am I AntiSocial if I don't spend my life on the internet?"

I don't use MSN. I use AIM. Even then, I'm not on terribly often, due to work, personal life, sleeping, football, etc.

Absolutely. By using MSN instead of AIM, you are displaying anti-social behavior. However, you forgot to bring up Yahoo Messenger - if you use AIM but don't use Yahoo, then you're twice as antisocial. However, if you use MSN and Yahoo but not AIM then you're not as anti-social as you would be if you used Yahoo and AIM.

I say that it's a racial thing. An absolute bigotry against all things Microsoft. He's probably a OSX user.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ok I guess you guys don't really understand what I mean. When I said MSN I meant all instant messengers. I just don't care too use it all that often. But I know some people who live on them.
