"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 that this woman would make a good wife?

"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.

I give her credit for bucking the trends, taking risks and trying something for herself. I think where she f*cked up was trying to do things that had been done 300 times before, by all those other teachers. She didn't find any way to stand out from the crowd. And sure, plenty of entitlement sprinkled in there....I like how she got fired from her job, rather than have a set of balls and quit, and dedicate herself 100% to yoga.
People often fail due to lack of a plan and/or lack of innovation. She was obviously the latter.

Yeah & NYC is a REALLY bad market to get into something like that b/c it's too saturated. There's probably 10,000 or more yoga instructors in the NYC area all competing for the same customers. She woulda likely been better off to start off in a smaller town. Always research the competition when you're looking to start a business in any market. If it's saturated then you're likely going to fail unless your product is extremely innovative and your competitors are offering nothing like it.speed dawg said:
