"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.

We got any classical music fans up in here? I don't just mean classical in the "classical" sense but also baroque, romantic, 20th century, opera, etc.. basically western art music. I'm the only person I've ever met who's ipod is > %50 classical.
 

"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.

Wow! Pretty sweet if you ask me. I am open to all that great stuff. I live in a place now where you can hear live performances for almost nothing (as compared to the West). Would you consider the composers from the old Soviet Union to be Western art music?

BTW, I would recommend everyone to give Opera a chance.

Absolutely.

I'm not as much of a connasseur as I'd like to be, but classical music is really something.

I'm one. Big on Mozart and Chopin. And yes, if I owned an ipod, it would consist of probably around 65% classical music :)

I'm a big fan of Philip Glass, I guess that would be modern classical.

Adagio For Strings is my favorite classical song.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I am only somewhat familiar with classical music,a fan,but not aficionado. If anything, My favorite piece of classical music is the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Oddysey. Which is also one of my favorite films. I highly recomend both.

Yah, I'm into a lot of classical stuff, too. I love the old Ludwig Van (esp. his intense 7th Symphony), Orff's Carmina Burana, Stravinsy's Rite of Spring, in particular.

I like composers from the Romantic era the most, particularly piano music. Chopin, Debussy, etc. Very beautiful music.

Oh hell yeah, Soviet music is awesome. Shostakovitch is probably my favorite composer, I love his 5th symphony so much, plus his first cello concerto is awesome too. Where I am now, performances are an expensive rarity, and I'm moving to New York City next year so they'll turn into just "expensive". I recommend everyone give classical music and opera a chance.
