"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.

The owner of craiglist said that he would be pulling the erotic service section of his website off due too recent murders do u guys think he gave in to soon?I think he should have fought it and not have give in so soon. What are your opinions.:crackup:
 

"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.

To tell the truth, no. The owner was making money off of hookers posting and it would hurt his image if it was kept in the news any longer. When you basically hook up with anything considered immoral, someone will try to hang you out to dry just to push their own crap. But, I do not see how what happened is any different than when a guy met a woman off of either facebook or myspace and killed her. In fact, I can't remember if the guy in this case met the woman from the erotic section or the romance section. Either way, anything that gets men sex without going through the "proper channels" will get slammed.

The craigslist owner made the valid point that the yellow pages and also most newspapers have escort ads, too.
True, but craigslist is the new thing for a younger gerenation so it gets the rougher treatment.
