"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 procedure in which a person ends a relationship reveals a great deal about the content of their character. History has shown us that the depth at which you were involved is directly proportionate to how passionate the breakup will be. Obviously variables include the lust factor and the time duration. How you handle the rejection will determine your longevity success in dating. The proper course of action would be to be the first to call it quits, as being dumped tends to wreck havoc with our hearts. You want to strive to be a heartbreaker rather than to suffer from a broken heart. Being the first to breakup often gives you the power. If you ever been dumped you know exactly what I am mean. J. Geils wrote a song called “love stinks” and it truly is a depiction of a bitter/jaded man. Take a look at the movie “the wedding singer” if you need more detail. Try to avoid being one of those people who sound bitter/jaded and tend to talk about the ex whenever they feel the need. Lets take an inside look at some of the ways people handle rejection.

1) WHO CARES-these people tend to be loaners, remain silent and recover quite quickly by dating someone new. Commitment is not in their vocabulary; they tend to avoid confrontation at all costs. Psychology teaches us that, running to the next person will end up biting us in the butt down the road. They might breakup via text, email, phone call.

2) I WANT CLOSURE-these people assume it’s their fault and tend to seek answers that contributed to the breakup. Why are we breaking up, what did I do wrong, is there another man, etc. They want to remedy a solution to avoid being jaded in the future.

3) WUSS-they cry, make attempts to gain the person back by writing heart felt letters/emails, send flowers, gifts, etc. They philosophy here is guilt them back into their lives. If only I can show them they are making a huge mistake.

4) HOSTILE-these types tend to express their rage and pretend they don’t give a rat’s ass but in reality they do. They get verbally abusive and try to berate the other person to justify their feelings. Expression of anger is not the best course of action.

PSYCHO-now these types take being dumped VERY PERSONAL. They have the mindset of if I can’t have you no one can. Jealousy is a very powerful emotion. They automatically assume you are cheating on them, there must be another person. Behavior like this almost always leads to behavioral problems: stalking, verbal abuse,violence, etc.

Good list but I don't agree that the reactions reveal the content of a person's character so far as making that person be a good or bad person if that was the intent behind your words.

I do believe it can reveal the content of their character from a mental health standpoint though.

I'd say the first one you listed is the healthiest possible reaction but moderate anger is also a healthy expression so long as its not taken to psycho levels such as physical violence and whatnot.

The first one is good so long as the first few liasons the guy has after the breakup isn't his attempt to replace the ex with a new LTR but rather get some sex and companionship in the short term ie the forgetting phase because trying to jump into a new LTR right away the guy could be needy and ruin it for himself.

A guy is well advised to do the random hookup thing for a good long while then gradually ease back into the LTR hunt if that is what he desires.

sure they do-its all contigent on the lust factor and the length of time you dated. Is there such a thing as a good breakup?. Mutual breakup ideal but casual sex to foget is a bandaid solution.

HOW TO BREAKUP 101 is another article. I am just saying people's reactions reveal how successful you will be in the future. HEART BREAKERS have women longing for them all the time, thats what we want to shoot for. Wuss like behavior is detrimental to progression.

Ever hear one of those guys that goes on and on about his ex...........sheesh this is not what women want to hear about, surely not the best way to get laid.

Love stinks...........ya ya......its not love its the breakups. I merely point out some of the ways in which men react.
