"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 am on day 15 of kicking a 10 year Skoal habit. ****ing can a day. I'm staying strong but my mind is trying to trick me, sneaking thoughts that after 2 weeks it would be ok to just have a pinch.

This is a health issue, tobacco use of any kind is a dangerous and nasty habit.

Anyone here battled with this, and when does it get easier? When do the physical cravings fade out?

I sure could use a motivating success story or two, please! :)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Start treating yourself to really good food. I'll be surprised if you don't suddenly start finding the flavours so much more appealing after you stopped smoking.

EDIT: Wait, that's chewing stuff, right? Should have the same effect on your tastebuds though.

I used to chew a little bit but never had a problem quitting. It is addictive, though. I guess I never chewed frequently enough to get hooked hard.

I agree with Espi---tobacco has been proven over and over again to be carcinogenic and cause various chronic and often terminal health problems. That's all the reason I needed.

I used to smoke when I was a teen as well...quit that after 2.5 years. Never looked back.
