"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.

NO SPOILERS, please...

Well, it came out yesterday. I won't get around to it this weekend. Has anyone started playing?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You kids these days have nothing but GAMES on your mind. Why don't you go read a book or something?

Yup, I'd better grow up someday.

But not today, because I'm leaving the house right now to buy Bioshock Infinite.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Holy moly, this is one amazing game. If anyone here likes early 1900s alternate realities this is the game for you. It's a steam punker's paradise.

Now I've gotten myself all wired up after blasting my way through the police ambush and made it to the next level. I hope this broad Elizabeth is worth saving, although I have my doubts. I might have to drink the "Buroughs Vigor" and throw her off a ledge if she annoys me too much.

Dude!!! Is that the air game? I played the first Bioshock and it was definitely one of the best, craziest, most intense games I ever played. It was like living out a science fiction horror film. Very cool.

I don't know about this new game though. I guess I'll have to check it out now that SS has mentioned it

Yeah, it's the one with the floating city with the islands connected with skylines that you can eventually travel on.

If you thought BioShock was good, you'll love Infinite. The world they've created is incredible.
