"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.

The path of least resistance describes the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths. Often, this phrase is used to describe the flow of water down a hill, electrical current through a circuit, or the turbulent motion of barometric disturbances through the atmosphere. This concept can also be uniquely applied to human nature. While life doesn't always have to be a struggle, it's in your best interest as a competitive and autonomous human being to choose focused action over lethargy and perpetual movement over stagnation wherever and whenever possible.

We live in a competitive world where only the well adapted, intelligent, and overall most fit survive. Whether you choose to compete or not makes no difference.

It is for this reason why I have declared war on my own existence.

Every continuing moment that I remain cognizant, my time will be spent fighting against myself. Contemporary culture makes us terrified of hard work, easily defeated by instant gratification, and causes us to rarely think more than two to three steps ahead. While we don't all share the same conditions, we do share the majority of our major predispositions. As human beings, we all have the ability to convert effort into transformative action. It's time to abolish the paralysis of modern diversion. You are suffocating more and more every day. Learn to hate lethargy more than cancer. Mobilize yourself. Think fvcking harder. Get a dream and wage war.

See you on the top.

I know more clearly now that pure intent, curiosity and a devotion to awe inspiring experiences must be the fuels in my tank now more than ever because as much as i have jumped over the past 8 years of my life, i haven't yet jumped big enough. And how else does one take leaps like that in this world without a fuel that's pure and that's not gonna run out in mid air. You know, sometimes i feel like i've come so far and others i have to wonder if i really jumped at all or just toed the ledge over and over again - wanting to be braver. I realize now that i have a calling to a much larger freedom than i've ever actually known, and it's living in me, reminding with every tiny pang in my gut, that i could go deeper and dive further and to keep pushing.

"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.
