"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.

if you call someone and it rings, meaning the call went through, and it rings twice but then it goes to the voicemail, what does it mean?
im thinking she saw my id and just closed her phone?

because if her phone is off, it would go directly to voicemail without the rings right?

or if she's talking to someone else it wouldnt ring, it would rather have this weird tone thing.

thanks
 

"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 relax. it just means her cell phone fu<ked up! most cell phones automatically answer when someone flips them open, and if she did that and hung up on you, u wouldn't get her voicemail. ur okay

That's not necessarily true. Nokia candybars have an 'ignore' option where it will ring a couple times then go to answering machine. Some of my friends used to do this to me ~4 years ago pre-SS.

Every cell phone I know of, if you hit end or close the phone, they either hang up on you or send you directly to the voice mail. That is what my dad's, sister's, brother in law's and coach's cell phones do. I would recommend leaving a SINGLE voicemail and leaving her alone for a few days, if she doesn't call you back.
 

"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.

He gives a ****... and you sure as hell will be searching this **** the next time a HB does the same thing to you. So STFU. This happens to a whole lot of us, and this is obviously a potential IL indicator.

yeah kid, you dunno me. I don't care if anyone does that to me. If you care ok, man but seirously keep wasting your mind and time on this crap. She mighta been busy. PEople have lives. Learn to live yours as an independent so you don't care so much about how other people react to you (and it might not even be a reaction to YOU).

peace dude. hopefully you will think of yourself as more than a nobody someday

I'm on the road to it... I'll change screenames when I become somebody, until then I'm nobody.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

That means it's got little to no signal, and/or was switched off in the first place.

So basically they wouldn't see the call anyway.
