"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My myspace just has a few of my friends on... everyone on there I knew previously in real life... what are some of you guys doing!!?! LOL...

Don't be a fool and post your whole lifestory on there as has been said... it makes you look a prick, think about it... everyone who knows you in real life already knows what you're about, and why do you want to tell anonymous internet users about every faucet of your life?? It just makes no sense...

You guys should just look at Myspace as a way to market yourself.

-Don't post pics of you with every girl you've ever seen
-Don't give out tons of info; maybe a job title and some hobbies
-Sorry to guy above but posting pics of yourself flexing is.. well, kinda lame.
-Don't have a bunch of crappy (tacky) musical add-on's and things floating on your page

-DO post pics of you out and about with friends
-DO have a family shot in there somewhere
-DO have a pic with a chick or two (pick the best)
-DO check your spelling and grammar

The idea here is that if you give a girl your name, it's almost guaranteed that she'll look you up before a date. You want to convey a fun, friendly and interesting angle, not that of some roid-monkey bent on conquering the world with his thug friends- sure, you might think that's cool but I guarantee some MBA grad HB10 won't. You want to look like you're approachable (remember, someone may be checking out local profiles and just happen to run into you in person) and you want to create depth by limiting the information, not expanding on it!

This is one of the few times that you completely control the stage on which you appear. Make it a good one!
:up:

Good stuff man

I think you worded it a little harshly ("delete it"), but I see where you're coming from.

Here's my page. Like friendster I find it a bit of a ghey circle-jerk and rarely use it, and I only have real-life friends on it. There's also a link to my website - anonymity-schmanonymity.

"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.

I see the good intentions but man... pretty uneccesary if you ask me... and a bit insecure. All it will do is mess up your game? If you have game you have game, I'm definitely not worried about myspace messing it up.

Myspace nowadays is as common as a cellphone, and if you dont have one people will think you're different, but not in a good way. You will be seen as some1 who doesnt have that many friends.
LMFAO. This is total bull****.

Yeah, because someones social status is directly related to how many strangers they have on MySpace as friends. Maybe he doesn't have time to sit at home and collect "girl friends" because their clevage looks nice. God forbid he actually approach in public, vs sending off some corny email that trys to show he's not interested.

I think a lot of guys use MySpace as means to avoid the fear of rejection. You approach a girl at a bar, you get shot down. You take a dive. You talk to a girl on MySpace and it doesn't get anywhere, then no harm done it was just talking.

I'd stay away from MySpace.com if I were you. I hear that the people who do background checks for jobs/college/etc will go to friendster/myspace/facebook to search for your profile. If you have a picture of your dumbass self holding a bottle or two of alcohol or if your guestbook is filled with stupid music videos or sexually explicit imagery, they will judge you harshly.

If you can't stay away because your social life will become miserable without then you might have to use a fake name with an alternate email address.

Also, Myspace.com is owned by Fox Media which gives free info to US Gov't.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

i think this really has gone too far.. like seriously, there are almost 100,000,000 people on myspace and only 6.3 or 6.4 billion people on the earth.. when its put like that, i'd say most people are on myspace.. with the majority being from north america, asia, and europe..

i think myspace is awesome because its like the first homepage type of thing that is FREE, and super easy to use, and almost everyone is on it or getting on it. i dont use it to pick up strangers, i mean maybe occasionally send a message to a girl i dont know but only if we have common interests.. and even then that chances of her writing back aren't great lol..

its not that serious.. theres more to life than worrying about creating mystery.. fvck all that.. live your lives

I deleted my myspace a while ago. I think its a stupid waste of time.

I also don't have a working cell phone.

My friends know how to contact me if they need to. That's all I need.

I havent finished making my myspace profile yet....Im really behind on that...Prob because I go out to much and have a life!

I do want to make a good profile thow....dont know why. Same with my msn blog. I think i want to do it so all my old msn buddies can see how im doing without having to talk to me as im not on my comp near as much as i used to be these days.....pretty much only when im at work or an hour every 2-3 days.


No phone jack knife??? Your Mad. I couldnt go more than a day without my phone....but then i wouldnt need to since i have my own mobile phone shop. :D

I hate the old "i use it to keep in contact with friends" excuse. No, you're using it for attention. Friends have your e-mail address and phone number if they want to contact you, and you have theirs.
 

"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.

No......seriouslly. I have alot of online friends who are always talking to me on msn. Most the time they are asking what im up to these days. I always tend to be replying "Soz i gtg. Talk another time"

I dont use excuses.....why do i need to qualify to you anyways.....Your wrong.

My email is never used for contacting friends, and my cell phone had been shut off for three months previously, therefore, myspace is the easy answer. Don't be that guy who acts like an old man talking about "back in my day" and trying to tell US how WE use OUR myspaces, even if we already know what we do with them. That's just gay.

I just deleted mine a few days ago. I think it's a waste of time. Maybe in a few months I'll re-make it, but I was spending too much valuable time when I could be out in the real world meeting new people. I would find myself checking profiles way too often when I was bored or when I should have been doing something else.

The whole thing about how people won't think you have friends is ridiculous. I have plenty of friends who, for the most part, aren't on myspace.

There's nothing wrong with having a myspace,
I just don't see the point of messaging girls who are way
out of your reach (geographically). If you're going to use
it, like PowerTripII said, add your friends, business associates
and family members. Don't just add anyone with big boobs or
who seems like Miss Popular 2006.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
