"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.

Following Pook's instructions, I have tried to minimize the amount of flirting and kino that I do with girls early on. Supposedly a real DJ should be so inherently sexual that those things are overkill. (Also, flirting is a tad bit girly and indirect.)

So here's the quick question: If I'm talking to a girl and before too long, she brings up her boyfriend (who lives in a different city), does that mean I'm doing a good job? As I said, I usually don't flirt much or do kino, so the fact that she's considering me a threat/prospect must be a good thing!

or does that just happen to every guy who "approaches," loser or otherwise?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

yeah, I think I read that one -- and also i've read Pook's discourse on W0manese.

But I'm not even really talking about whether she's interested in me or whether she's trying to reject me. I just think it's funny for them to mention their boyfriends when I'm just talking to them, and not even overtly hitting on them.

of course, if they are interested in me, for whatever reason, then they can forget it. I don't deal with other guys' girlfriends. If you do that, you're just asking for either a hor or a girl who will waste your time.
