"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.

Man today i got fired, or "laid off". This sucks. I came in the morning, and just found out. 2 days ago, I made a mistake. My first mistake there in 2+ summers of being there. It wasn't major but it was enough for me to be dismissed. I don't even get paid, its volunteer work.

I know i'll reflect upon this sometime and i'm glad its not that big when compared to a grand scale.

I'm a bit sad i must admit, and also angry. Arjdsghdsjk. Didn't feel good (this never happened to me before).

I played it off cool, but man internally i'm pissed off. Now it's too late in the summer to get a job or anything, but i'll try and see what happens anyways.

Anyone wanna share some stories with a fellow brother?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

That sucks I guess, but really it gives you more time to enjoy the finer parts of life, so its not all bad. Happens to people all the time, just get a new job. I've never been fired but came really close. I used the store computer to play games, unfortuatly I didnt erase the history, and we had a meeting, but I played it off and was clear. We only have 1 computer and it has alot of private stuff, so that was my closest.

Then they are the ones losing out. It's not very smart to fire the free labor.

i agree with bible. perhaps it is just a good excuse to go out and find something that pays :)

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

rofl, you got fired from a volunteer job :crackup:


Just chill for the rest of the summer. Then on future resumes, list the period that you worked there as "Summer 2007" and don't specify that it ended early.

Nah....JK.:rock:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This is actually good advice. You might be the only person to have ever gotten fired from a volunteer job. You should probably just quit life now.

i accidentally hit a kid and he cried, told his parents, who informed the manager, who then who in turn fired me without explanation!!

hmm i don't like doing weed or that ****. i like to stay athletic. Will i get addicted to that stuff? I still want to be able to post shots over you 6 foot ballers out there.

So no one ever got fired for anything? Nice job guys, give yourself on a pat on the back for being diligent workers/laborers. I congradulate you all, i will catch up.

lol, that sounds to me like a big mistake. You hit a kid! That's grounds for termination under any circumstance in any job. Especially this one, which sounds like a day care.

Why do you bother volunteering?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
