"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.

Do you feel bad about cutting loose some plates?

Sometimes, there are girls who you aren't really into, but they are REALLY into you. It's quite a boost to your ego to have someone like you that much. But there are just better prospects out there and you have limited roster space. Does it sometimes pain you to have to disappoint people like that?

I guess I can kind of sympathize with these gals. I was once that chump trying incredibly hard to impress a girl who wasn't into me.
 

"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.

Refer to the catman.

It's only human to feel bad for hurting another, our male sense of justice puts us on the wrong side of the scale; where there is pain, there is also retribution and comeuppance.

Still, the aspiration is to rise above all these weak human trappings we carry and to continually evolve into something monolithic, impervious to all save the greatest wisdom.

I was yesterday a blob of semen, tomorrow a pile of dust long forgotten; today is all that I have, and why should I burden it with regret?

Keep moving forward.

No.

Do you think they feel bad when they dump you?

Forget them. Besides, if they are decent looking they will be hopping on a new d!ck before you can even contemplate how they feel after you dump them.

It's always better being the one doing the dumping than the one being dumped.
 

"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.

Not anymore.

Much like a mutant who could possibly regrow an arm everytime it's cut off, the effect of losing a limb (much like a plate) would eventually dull until it's become common practice.

Since it's a plate, it can easily be replaced.
