"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.

I agree that this thread is a nice change from all the negative and whiny ones out there.

Here are mine:

1)I'm intelligent

2) I have an awesome supportive family and even more awesome close friends

3) I am compassionate

4) I am very decent looking

5) I have made more progress in improving my game in three weeks than I have in the last 10 years

6) I managed to do what most find nearly impossible to do, quit smoking cold turkey. I havent smoked a cigarette in eight years

7) I lost almost 55 lbs going from 245 to under 190

8) After bouncing from job to job, I finally got trained in and now a job in a career that I truely love

9) I take really good care of myself, and have learnt to develop my own style

10) Girls have said they love the touch of my hands :)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

So pleased I found this thread today. I've just suffered through an absolutely sh1thouse day. I became a complete AFC - started feeling and acting all negative. Finally, I mentally slapped myself in the face and made two cold approaches to a pair of 8.5s and an HB9 tourist. Both times I crashed and burned without doing or saying anything particularly stupid. What's more I'm sitting right now at my PC while my sister and her AFC boyfriend play wrestle and giggle like stupid lovesick puppy dogs

But this thread has encouraged me not to launch into a huge rant.

1) I have a tight group of friends who will always respect me no matter what I do

2) My close friends confide in me with all their problems/secrets making me the central member of the group

3) I have a laid-back personality and this puts people at ease when I'm with them

4) I see the funny side of life - I never take things too seriously and am happy to laugh about my mistakes and misfortunes

5) I can be funny when in a happy mood

6) I have good morals, integrity, and most people trust me

7) I prefer to keep the peace and can prevent conflict

8) I respect myself above all others but am always observant of other people's feelings and moods

9) I have dealt remarkably well with an illness that has been with me for nearly 10 years

10) I can be quite persistent and am always able to bounce back from setbacks

11) I am fastidious and careful with my work and study

12) I am able to get employers, clients, superiors and teachers to like me

13) I like to do things right the first time and make the effort to become competent at new skills

14) I'm competitive and strive to reach new targets and improve on my performances

15) I have leadership experience in work situations

16) I take great pride in everything I do and read to expand my general knowledge

17) I enjoy dancing and singing and have promised myself to pursue these interests as far as I can

18) I've been told by many people that I'm a good writer

19) I recently got myself a lucrative position at a large firm

20) I'm intellectually and emotionally intelligent

21) I've never smoked and am not dependent on alcohol

22) I wake up everyday loving life and not dwelling on negative thoughts about the "true meaning of life"

23) I'm not controlled by religion and nor am I one of those hypocritical "Christians"

24) I'm driven and ambitious but not power-hungry

25) My pet cat and budgie love me

26) Women have said I'm charming and that I'm fun to talk to

27) Girls with boyfriends have fallen for me to varying degrees on quite a few occasions

28) My body is slim and toned and matches my height

29) I have an interesting face with a nice smile and really thick eyelashes (girls love that)

30) I have grown up with little money and have learnt to value it
