"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.

Interesting article:
http://www.slate.com/articles/doubl...st_their_will_.html?google_editors_picks=true

A lot of Quebecois choose not to get married but are entitled to file joint taxes if they cohabit. Under this law, neither person is obligated to support the other in the event that they separate.

Now a lady who separated from a billionaire feels that she is entitled to $50 million and $56k per month in addition to the $411,000 she already receives in child support.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I was just going to post it, Lexington!

It sounds like all one needs to do is to not check the married box for taxes to stay single - IOW, one gets legally married by checking that box!
