"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.

DJ's in Church. Is God testing you?

How do those of you who go to church or have gone to church control your sexual feelings when there are so many temptations around you while during mass? Especially if you only see certain women during that time?
 

"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.

If I feel that way then I would throw 1 Cor 7:2,9 back at condemning thoughts because it's written in the Bible to avoid sexual temptation one is supposed to be married. It says to avoid fornication, people should be married and have a spouse.

1 Cor 7:9 acknowledges that people have sexual temptations if they don't have a spouse to release that sexual energy on. God created sex between married people so there is nothing wrong with sex itself in marriage. How do you think you were born in the first place? Where would you get the idea that it is wrong?

If you are not attracted to women, then how do you expect to want to be married in the first place? I'd say go and find someone and get married, and if you get rejected then at least you tried to deal with your sexual temptation.

There are no attractive women at my church, and that is probably for the best.

Quite possibly.

It's a good opportunity to practice self-control/discipline. Ironically, ignoring women makes them more attracted, so there you go.
 

"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.

True, that.

I noticed that a lot, at about age 11, and totally blew it off, (and all religion) by age 13. It's all just so obviously a crutch for the inept, intended from the start to set up the 'witch doctors" with an easy life.

Once you realize that life doesn't mean anything and you might as well kill yourself, then you may just change that tune.

I really don't understand the thinking of people like you. You're like a progress bar that stays stagnant at 50%. You're basing your beliefs on the inadequacies of humans, which is the whole point of religion. You're basically saying "since dumb people use religion to get by, religion is stupid." That's like saying diapers are bad because babies crap their pants.
