"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 just have to say how refreshing it is to hear some actual LIFE WISDOM from older fellas who have made AFC mistakes. I spent almost a year in the regular forum and managed only to become an rAFC, only to return to AFC tendencies by focusing on one girl at a time. The other forums can serve a purpose, but it's nice to see legit posters instead of pimple-faced keyboard jockeys whining about every petty behavioral change in a girl, or flapping jaw about how he's the swingnest **** on the planet.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Agreed. You're never too old to learn something new, but I'd like to believe most of the older guys here have the basics down pat, and we're just here to work on points for style :woo:

There's no stand-in for experience and life lessons. These younger Brothers don't understand nor can they comprehend what it is that us guys with age under our belts have gone through. But it doesn't stop these pimple poppers from trying to substitute what they see on tv to real life.

And thus, make azzes of themselves trying to give advice on issues while walking in untread shoes.
