"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 know this has already been discussed many times, but I'd like to ask about my situation, since I won't be referring just to getting ladies, my problem is with being perceived as a child by both males and females.

I'm 19-yrs-old but most people mistake me for 16-17 (sometimes even 15), since I'm a bit shorter than average (I'm around 5'9) and I have a really youngish face.

Most people can tell I work out even when I'm wearing regular clothes, but my frame is extremely small, so I look like I haven't developed yet (is it possible that I have to develop yet, or at 19 I'm already grown? I'm not talking about height, I'm referring to bones structure): my muscles look really "pumped", but I still look small.

Plus, my face has really young features (I don't even have sideburns, although I have to shave my chin and moustaches almost everyday), and blue eyes and curly hair doesn't help either. I'm pretty cute, but I tend to attract just girls who are 15 or even 13 (I get approached a lot by these girls), while older ones need to be isolated, IMO because they would feel ashamed to flirt with someone who looks a couple of years younger than them.

Also, I'm very loud and outgoing, so most people perceive me as immature (which I probably am) and this doesn't help either.

Any ideas to solve these problems?
 

"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.

I'm not sure if you are suggesting bulking or if you have just posted in the wrong thread. If it's the first case, I don't think bulking would be a nice solution: I already look stocky for my height and people can already understand that I workout even when I have my clothes on, so it wouldn't change much, if not in a negative way (looking even shorter, thus younger)
 

"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.

Dont shave, ever. Take extasy at least once a week, and stay up at least two nights in a row. Don't eat. Just drink a lot of water.

I'm 18 looking 25 right now... I havent eaten since 3pm yesterday, and I havent slept since friday night

I'd like to see your pic, you probably look similar to Romero's zombies;)
Actually, I spent a week during my last school-trip, where I got to pass 60 hours awake and then sleeping just 5 hours or so... I smoked everything and I substituted water with Absinthe for seven days in a row.
Guess what? I looked like an emaciated 15-yrs-old stoner...
