"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.

Anyone going to this on Sunday? For those of you who've gone to a concert before...what do you usually wear? Also what time do they usually start? I'm trying to decide if I should go or not (this girl invited me to go because she had an extra ticket).
 

"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.

Well I am not much of a concert person but I did go to see Linkin Park and when I got there I bought a sweet tee and it's a fav of mine. So just wear something and buy the tee to go over it.

Man, DMB concerts are really fun. Hell, just wear laid back clothes, shorts and a tshirt. I'm going to see them in San Fran in August :cool:
 

"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.

Ah. A bunch of my friends got caught with almost 3 oz. of weed. THe cops ambushed them from the woods when they were tailgating before the show. The cops let 'em go before it started so it was all good.


And jlazz, you seem to make alot of threads about what to wear. Its really not that big of a deal. People really dont judge you much by what you wear. And if they do, they're shallow and you shouldn't waste your time with them anyway.

Yea, I'm going to Gigantour on the 2nd :D I can't wait. Dream Theater is soo awesome. The last concert I went to was the Straylight Run Concert in Oklahoma City Bricktown. It was inside so I wore something that would keep me kinda cool. (It gets really hot in there because everyone's soo close together.) If it's outside, it kinda depends on what the weather's nice. But if you're going with a chick, dress a little nice when you go.
