"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.

Assumed sarcasm?

What does it mean when people especially girls always seem to assume that you're being sarcastic and interpret many things that you say as some criticism of them, or are quick to apologize for the littlest things and often insinuate that they're trying not offend you when you're being as warm and friendly as possible? How many of you get this? Am I just giving off the wrong vibes? Maybe I just seem too uptight and unapproachable.

"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.

Ask a person you know-not a close friend or family member about your tone of voice. My ex-wife always E NUN C ATED her words, what she thought was proper diction always came across as pissed.

This is a good thread.

I have the same problem too. I have the highest grade in my English 101 class and all the girls in there try to use big words with me trying to impress me or something. However, it is kinda funny when they use a big word in the wrong context in which it should be used. Anyways, when I do talk to them and they don't use a big word they act like their less superior than me and say stuff like, "I know I'm sounding dumb right now, but not all of us can be a writer and use big words like you." I'm always like, "What the f**k? I'm normal too you know."

It's an on going problem in my life. If someone can help you, I'm sure they can help me as well.
