"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.

Alotta times, I would be hesitant to start conversations with people out of fear that I would not be entertaining enough and I won't seem interesting. I felt like I had to come up with a good conversation topic first, and then only stick to it when we were talking.

Now I just start talking, even if it starts out as something boring. As long as I give room for the other person to person to add to the conversation (not just ramble on), and leave oppurtunities for a change of conversation, I eventully find ways to have entertaining conversations, throw some good jokes, and to connect with the other person.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That is important.

It amazes me that many people are not having fun while running a pickup.

If you arnt having fun and being happy how can you expect people to be happy about you talking to them.
