"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.

Could this be what's been holding me back?

So I don't want to sound ****y or anything, but I've been told several times that I'm a "hot" guy, I work out often, got a lot going for me as I'm doing great in college, and I feel as if I have a lot to offer girls. Yet as I said in my first post a couple of weeks ago, I don't know why I have trouble getting girls to open up.

Anyway, last night me and a few friends went to get some food at a restaurant, and one of my best friends asked me why I look so mad all the time. This really got me thinking. I mean, I'm not even close to mad most of the time, yet apparently I come off as being mad all the time? Could this be what's been holding me back? I mean, if others feel you're mad they'll label you as unapproachable or simply no fun.

What do you guys think? Could this be the key to success?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Do you judge yourself too much? Do you worry about what others think of you?

You sound like one of those guys who goes to the gym everyday and expects ***** to flock to your 6 pack. I've got some news for ya, if the only thing you have to offer to a woman is a 6 pack, she's not impressed.

Some guys have a hard time coming out of their shell early in life and when they finally do, they are looking down the road at marriage.

Do me a favor. Next time you go out, try something new. Maybe you're just a little too much to yourself and you don't speak up? Maybe you need to smile and have some more fun? Giving off positive, alpha-like vibes is a huge part of attracting the opposite sex. Do you try to be the leader of your group of friends? Do you take control of situations and execute before anyone else?

I know, a lot of questions, but these are all things that will help improve your attraction with women.

You know, I probably do judge myself more than I should, and worry about what others think. I was kinda chubby as a kid (got in shape around 13), and I got teased at school for it back then. I think that's kinda stuck with me and that's why I sometimes care too much.

But not, I actually don't take lifting that seriously anymore. I used to be into bodybuilding but I only do it to stay in good shape now. So no I don't go around taking my shirt off and hoping girls come running to me. But I see where you're going with that. Good advice. Thanks.

Eye contact and a smile will do wonders for your approachability.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Smoke a joint before you go out, and if you are still mad looking, lay off the botox treatments.

Mastering body language is really important, especially when you're meeting new people. It's first impression mode. Throw on a smile, be personable, and you'll likely get the same in return. If you're grumpy, you'll get the same in return.

I definitely understand where you're coming from, but you have to look at it from the other point of view. If someone starts talking to you and looks way too serious, almost grumpy/annoyed, would you think they're happy and liking you? Of course not!

What's holding you back is probably not you looking mad all the time, it's probably you over analysing! It should be simple, especially if girls find you 'hot'.

That being said you need to have a balence between not overanalysing and fixing your problems.

A lot of people say it's bad to smile too much!
