"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.

Hi everyone, i was wondering what kind of chivalry moves should i do when going out with a girl. I havent dated much all these years, throughout highschool i didnt get one single gf and basically im a newb to all this especially handling women.

Besides the hold/open doors, carry something heavy are common ones, what are the more subtle ones that exist such as walking on the outside of the sidewalk (next to the road) when walking with her.

Thanks a lot guys, tmrw is my birthday and im hoping for a new change this year starting off with these things. =)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I wouldn't go too far out of my way to do things for women you don't know. I've seen guys hold open doors for 30 seconds waiting for a girl. Of course, she feels awkward and starts walking briskly so she doesn't look rude.

Don't get me wrong, I like to be overly nice at times. But usually when I already have rapport with a girl. Remember, theres a big difference in between being a nice guy and a good guy.

let her go up stairs first, go down stairs first, so if she happens to fall you can catch her.

go in elevators first, and out elevators first.

If you're at a dinner table at a restaurant before her, stand up when she gets there to greet her. Maybe pull out her chair. But yeah as one poster said, HUGE difference b/t being a nice guy(doormat) and a good guy(does the right thing but respects himself, will not be walked on)

Some chick was going up the stairs today and a dude stepped aside so she could go ahead. She said "chivalry isn't dead" and he said "no it just got beat up", but he kept going on and on about it. He was uncomfortable with her favorable response.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
