"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 think 33 y.o. pretending to be high school student is due to the terror of hitting The Wall?

I was reading this and it got me thinking:

On September 2, 2008, a shy, blonde transfer student strolled into Ashwaubenon High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The petite sophomore wore a pink hoodie and carried a new school bag decorated with hearts, eager to start the new term. But just 16 days later, she was standing in court wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and shackles, charged with identity theft. There, prosecutors revealed that Wendy Brown was not really 15, but a 33-year-old mother of two—who had stolen her teenage daughter’s identity in an attempt to relive her own high school days. In her weeks as a student, Brown had taken classes with students half her age. She had tried out for the Ashwaubenon High School cheerleading squad and even attended a pool party thrown by the cheer coach.
:eek::eek::eek:

It seems to me that the timing is that this woman is hitting the wall and she is in utter terror of it, and being someone who seems to have a bit of a small-time crook past, just figured that she was entitled to do this.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

The most revealing part of the story into a crazy woman's thinking is when she said "He should be the one in jail not me." Refering to her ex husband that had nothing to do with her sad attempt at re-living her childhood.

1) Beyaches be crazy
2) Beyaches never admit they fvcked up

That's kind of like that movie "Orphan" where the family adopts a kid that turns into a demon who starts killing people. Only she wasn't a demon she had some weird disease that made her look like she was twelve and at the same time made her a homicidal maniac. Best part was when the mom found out here previous "orphanage" in Eastern Europe was an institute for the criminally insane.

The family in the movie was her third or fourth one. Her M.O. was to seduce and bang the dad, and then kill him and everybody else.

Dude did you even see her/read about her? obviously came from a hella fked up childhood..this isnt just your average woman "hitting the wall" and going back to highschool to try and relive youth for narcissistic purposes...seems more like this woman is very troubled/mentallly ill. not an excuse but its more based in reality then some chick trying to retrieve her youthful glow an be prom queen or some ****
 

"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.
