"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.

This is pretty common out here during this time of year, but I think this is the worst I've ever seen. Must be about 2 dozen wild fires all burning at once.
Luckily I'm not near any of the fires, but yesterday could smell the smoke in the air and I can see plumes of smoke everywhere in the distance.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Just read that Del Mar is being evacuated. That's backbreaker's hood right there.

There was a fire in my city. Some truck was blown over by the wind and started a fire burning 300 acres or so, but was put out luckily, while the other fires where going on. right now I can smell and see the smoke comin from Lake Arrowhead. usaully the hills behind my house or the hills to the north ALWAYS burn and i'll get ashes here.

But im amazed by all the fires these past few days...

My cousin is a fire fighter and is out battling these fires right now
I give mad props to him.

Lol, it was really bad in sb this weekend. When I got back from going out, I wiped a tissue on my face and the tissue was all grey. Ash all up in my hair/face/clothes. We couldn't drink any of the beer pong beers because a few minutes into the game too much ash collected in the cups. As I was going out everyone was squinting.

If its that bad in sb, it must be horrible in so-cal.

Is it really the winds that causing the fires to break out? I would imagine the flames would be put out when swept up into the wind.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Not when you have 5% humidity.

Yeah that's all I hear in the news nowadays. When my parents are watching it, in the background I hear of fires, and I'm thinking, I remember hearing the exact same thing just yesterday and a couple days before that.
