"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.

Does having nothing in common with women really matter?

They're all into clubbing and top 40 pop and I am not. Can I still bang them?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Pretty much what Mike said.

Attraction is about attraction which is all you need for a sexual partnership. Common intersts are important for relationships.

Where people get in trouble is confusing the two. You can have a great sexual partnership with someone you don't have anything in common with but don't fall in love and try to make a relationship work because it likely won't.

reminds me of a 19 year old chick i dated, she likes listening to rihanna while i bang her, as i listen to slayer in my ipod while i seasoned her abbys. We're not completely in common but she's so hot i gave her an exemption.

lol Slayer. Will they really let you listen to your iPod in the sack? I wouldn't even try.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Sometimes a guy has plenty of common interests with a female. They like many of the same things. The guy is convinced that she is perfect for him. But he's in friendzone because she isn't physically attracted to him. She sleeps with some guy that she has little in common with because he makes her gina tingle.

Of course, as noted above, we are talking about flings here. For a relationship, you need attraction and hopefully some things in common.

Having things in common with a woman is important if you want to be her friend....

In fact if I find a girl likes something that I don't, I make fun of it...I do this often.

I had nothing in common with my last Fvck Buddy aside from enjoying to fvck. Other then that everything about us was different. If you want to potentially date or if your dying to be in the friend zone then ya, having things in common will definitely help.

like everyone else said, common interests only matter if you want a lasting relationship with them to work.

if not, then you could be complete opposites and still have fun for weeks.
 

"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.

To be honest, yes and no. If you guys have common interests but don't see eachother as LTR's, (they don't possess certain traits) they are only good for FRIENDS and FwB! We all make friends with some similar interests anyways
