"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.

Chick wants to take a "break" from dating, giving out "excuses" for disqualifying men after a first date.

https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/i-decided-to-embark-on-a-total-dating-detox

You could argue that I’d been disqualifying plenty of men in New York even after a first date for arguably trivial reasons:

  • for licking his fingers after we ordered yucca fries (both hands, multiple times)
  • for repeatedly calling me by the wrong name (Natalie)
  • for not knowing where Addis Ababa is
  • for eating meat off a stick
  • for carrying a large wad of one-dollar bills in his pocket
  • for being my height (5′2″)
  • for having a face slightly paralyzed by Botox
  • for not having heard of burrata
  • for wearing a beanie at dinner
  • for having a visible herpes simplex virus breakout on his lip
  • for snorting coke in the bathroom between courses
  • for wearing a tooth around his neck
  • for being on Atkins
  • for reviewing the bill like he was studying for the bar exam
  • for not having eyelashes
  • for wearing raspberry-colored trousers
  • for asking me for a blow-job
  • for telling me he dreams of a Range Rover full of offspring.

"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.

Got one better for ya. Same "author" - Seems everyone and anyone can be an author these days.

My failed attempts at online dating drove me to marry myself (and it's a hot trend among millennials)

Oh my, what a nutcase!
I moved to an ashram in Kerala where I meditated and subjected my body to an Ayurvedic cleanse, worked on a vineyard on Sicily’s Mount Etna and went on a solo-safari in the Selous, Africa's largest game reserve, a place that is remote, raw and teeming with wildlife. Exactly what I needed.
This is just the inevitable result of feminism. Thank goodness it is negatively evolutionary - with the sp3rm donor exception, of course. Maybe are "all alone" (i.e., intelligent life, as defined as being able to produce intelligent radio waves, on Earth) in the Universe because technologically advanced civilizations become feminized, thereby leading to its technological downfall.

"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.

I just think it's amazing on how some, in this case, women, think. This was a nice excerpt:

It all started when my thirst for some serious soul-searching at the end of a succession of failed romances drove me to get off the dating merry go-round in New York, vacate my apartment in Brooklyn, and wander off deep into the wilderness (as one does). I moved to an ashram in Kerala where I meditated and subjected my body to an Ayurvedic cleanse, worked on a vineyard on Sicily’s Mount Etna and went on a solo-safari in the Selous, Africa's largest game reserve, a place that is remote, raw and teeming with wildlife. Exactly what I needed.

Must be nice to live care free like that.

Give her a break. She just wants to be able to fart in her bed and buy more dildos
