"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.

Well guys this is just a question for you about style. I wear black cowboy boots (western bootS). They look good in my opinion for dressing up, and I wear dress pants all the time. I hear bad things about the boots, that people don't like them....especially women. Hell, they even had a thing on the radio about the top 10 most unnatractive foot wear to women (don't ask me), guess what was #1?

I know it seems that if they're out of style (or never were in it) I should ditch them. The kicker is that it's something I'm known for. I also like how dressy they are. A cowboy is definetly not a bad thing to be, but is a bad dresser a bad thing? Obviously.

I like being known for cowboy boots....but I don't wanna be known for horrible style. What do you guys?
 

"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.

um. Is Minnesota known for it's cowboys and frontier?

If not, it might seem weird and out of place. In Texas, of course you think 'cowboys' when you think Texas, so people doing it there makes sense.

Im about to get cowboy boots, cause I cant wear timbs all the time and I dont like leather dress boots cause you cant really get them dirty...Dont get the kind with all the designs on them and sh1t, get the plain kind...Ive seen people pull it off before, all you gotta do is pull your jeans over them and most people cant even tell, and Ive seen some that are more for fashion purpose then an actual cowboy boot...

go up to some women that are like the type you want to attract, and ask their opinion... simple

Please, if you aren't a cowboy or live on a ranch, just dont wear them. There are way too many cowboy wannabes.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Cowboy boots are an American classic. They're as iconic as leather jackets and aviator sunglasses. I'm about to invest in a pair of brown ones myself. Any suggestions on which brand and where to buy?

I'd say theyre iconic of the American south.

I go to college in Michigan, and there's this TV ad for a car dealership with the owner and family in cowboy hat and boots and lasso and horses, and it look incredibly stupid. Cowboys in Michigan? Gimme a break. :rolleyes:
