"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 am going to one day go back to NYC no matter what happens so I want the city to do well. As much as I may sound like hating on the city, Manhattan made me. However, I know it is not doable for most young people. So many of my classmates who moved ended up moving out after a couple of years. The city has a big grind factor to it that most young people cannot handle.

The networking opportunities are insane and it has a lot to offer but I can see why Chicago would be ranked so high. It is a cleaner and somewhat more relaxed version of NYC. You walk the streets that are so wide so you no longer have to cuss like a sailor because the tourist in front of you is walking slow and you have to get around them.

I will always love NYC (well really only just Manhattan), it made me.
Sometimes I wonder if Chicago is gonna be the next top US city in the coming decade.
 

"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.

Similar experience except for the fact that now, so much has gone remote and online. If you are only going for a career in a given niche space like let's say tech, I will suggest Seattle and San Francisco (even Austin) over NYC anyday. IMO, the networking pays off in NYC if you are in big finance or big4 consulting but those fields are trending downwards.
Where were you born again?
