"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.

well since this past semester started, ill be walking around with my girl whose very pretty and random dudes will give me some dirty look like i took there girl. Honestly i pay no attention to these guys besides when i catch em, ill just stare back at em until they get the idea but im wondering if thats the right thing now. its almost like im getting sized up and this dude is threatening me, but i get it a lot and only when my girl is with me. now dont get me wrong, me and my girl are good and we laugh about this stuff and im cool with other dudes checking my girl out. but is ignoring them the right thing to do?
 

"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.

Obviously, they're just envious. But, I don't think staring back at them is a good idea. That is issuing a challenge and playing a game of "chicken." That might be ok if you're a really big guy that would intimidate them. But understand that, to some extent, it's a trap. Some really angry, jealous mofo might actually be trying to start someting with you so he can humiliate you in front of your girl. Regardless of your size, why invite drama when you don't have to?

If your eyes meet, just look away TO THE SIDE slightly and move on. Looking up is an insult like an eyeroll. Looking down is a sign of submission (bad). Looking to the side is neutral.

Unless the guys are being rude by leering or cat calling, I would mostly just ignore it. Staring at guys in the wrong environment (E.g. nightclubs, or anywhere that serves alcohol) could lead to a fight. However, if you feel like a guy is staring in an inappropriate way, by all means let him know non-verbally (staring back) that his behavior is rude.

I like using communication to subconsciously hint something or put an idea or image into someone's head very slyly. That being said, don't put some image of other guys' penises in her head.

Instead, play the guy off as gay.

"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.

Yeah, well, I consider it a backhanded compliment when guys' neck hairs get raised in my presence. I'm the top dog, and you hate it.
