"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.

So I'm needing a trade I can make decent money in part-time until I finish college--then I came across an ad for bartending school. AND they guarantee a job in the town of your choice...which is great, because drinking is the #1 activity where I'm going to school (drinking town with a football problem.)

So who here has done the bartender thing? Any tips/tricks/outrageous stories?
 

"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.

Save your money and don't go to bartending school. Just go barback to get experience and you get paid also. Even when you get out of bartending school they will stick you at barback for a bit.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The issue I see with bartending isn't getting a job, there are always lots of bartending gigs to be found. The issue is getting on at a hot club, which is where you want to be, not one filled with old alkys. I'm not sure if bartending school would help or if you just need to approach the clubs you want to work at and ask how to get started there. Maybe someone who actually works at one of these places can elaborate. Whatever you do remember that bartending is a *vocation*, it is what is, and you don't want to be a 50 year old bartender!!!! I'd keep my emphasis on my college degree and make sure the club knows bartending can't get in the way of studies.

That's true, but having a trade to fall back on is never a bad idea...I'm wishing I would have gone to vo-tech in HS for free when I had the chance. I'm a college man all the way, but it'd be nice to have something that pays more than I'm making now working at a bowling alley while I'm still in school.

A person can never have enough skills...besides, girls only want guys with good skills! /napoleon dynamite voice
