"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.

So I'll try to summarize this story to not make it long winded...

Met a girl for drinks off of POF... She was 37.. Anyway she was semi attractive maybe like a 7.. So we go up to the bar, I order a beer and she orders a glass of wine. We talk for a bit and it seems like its going ok.... but then I could tell she lost interest at some point and because of her sudden break in conversation and her non reception to kino I also lost interest. She said had a lot of work to get done and had to get going soon (obvious sign of disinterest). She drank about half her wine and I asked her if she was going to finish. She said she was good and wasn't going to finish it.

So the check comes and its about 7 dollars for my beer and 10 dollars for her glass of wine.

Me: Ok, so we'll just split this
Her: oh I didn't go to the ATM machine today, I don't have any money sorry.
Me: That's ok, I'll wait I'm sure there's one close by
Her: Well its a date the guy is supposed to pay
Me: This didn't really work out
Her: I know but still the guy is supposed to pay
Me: I'll have the bartender give us 2 separate checks

Me: (calls bartender) give us 2 separate checks please, 1 for my beer and 1 for her wine

Her: No we aren't doing 2 separate checks... I'm leaving goodbye

So she ends up walking out of the place and leaving. I told the bartender I would only pay for my beer and thats what I did...


True story......
 

"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.

Eastern Time Zone where it's always really late
Translation: I was looking for some cawk to satisfy my cougar desire to prove I still got it. But early on during the date, I realized that you didn't make my Virgina tingle. Thus, I'm gonna bail early. Even though I'm a working professional woman making my own $$$, since you failed to turn me on, you must pay the penalty, ie the cost of the entire date. After all, it's YOUR fault my cooter doesn't like you lol. I don't really have work to do later. I'm gonna go home to my 50 Shaydes book and vibrator. I'm tired of p of. I'm sick of the fake profile male model guys that spam me and then flake lol.

OP: Yes, women are getting worse. Anyway I'm glad you stuck to your guns.

Really brutal OP. The self entitlement is strong in that one.

Glad you held strong and didn't pay.

The funny thing is you know she went home and complained to all of her gf's about what a cheap guy and bad date you were. And she will feel totally justified in her assertions.


Ridiculous.

Thanks, I'm glad I did too. I am just astounded by her sense of entitlement. I mean this girl really thought I was supposed to pay even though the "date" (I thought of it more as a meet as I don't date unless I like someone) didn't go well.... Like it was the law.. I mean this girl really believed this.

What is more scary is I felt that if this scene escalated further the bar/restaurant would side with her and say I actually had too... thats how feminized this society is becoming... I hope to God that wouldn't be the case but I feel like women get sided with more than guys

Well done on not paying for hers. I can honestly say Ive never had that done to me and Id be livid it ever it did.
 

"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.

LOL this story cracks me up.


I have never had that happen to me before, ever. But good on you for not paying. You should even had provided the bar her name and contact information.

You know I actually thought of this after the fact.... the one silver lining is that she picked this place as she frequents it often.. maybe next time she goes in the bartender will remember her...

I did send her a text afterwards "lol I can see why you are close to 40 and still single"

Probably unnecessary but one of my trademarks :)

I agree that a woman shouldn't arrive at a date with zero cash, or lie about it just so she doesn't have to pay.

But the real question, OP, is: what went wrong during the date? Sometimes two people just don't get along. But I'm not sure I've ever had a date end that badly.

Don't blame "women" for that bad date.

There should be a law that requires waiters to bring a separate bill for each person at the table. If you want to cover somebody else bill, fine; but it shouldn't be an automatic assumption.

The judge commends you for having a f**kin' spine! :up:

Sorry to hear about the bad experience though. Glad you didn't give into this "princess's" demands.

Now if only more men started doing this...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Ha I bet you wouldn't have cared so much if she decided she liked you and wanted to go home with you.

It sucks but it was only $10, making her goto an ATM for $10 shows how much of a scab you are lol, I would of been more turned of by this! However that's nothing, try losing $150 to a chick who decides at the end she isn't into you after leading you on. You got off cheap but have lost her fo good

"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.
