"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.

I live very very well here, but we still work pretty hard to maintain the quality of living. I used to complain, but come to think of it, I am fortunate. But still, people in the USA have no idea how good they have it...
As I said, it's all relative. You're definately right though, it is infinitely easier to get by in US then in other coutries. People who work, rarely if ever go hungry. I'm from former USSR myself. Where I come from, right now average income is $120 per month.

Problem is, while $2000 is alot to you, to me it's a month to cover expenses. The cost of living here is ALOT higher. Especially in the NYC area. There is always a trade off.

Btw, I love brazilian girls. Definately better looking then from other latin countries.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Sure! From what I heard, food here is a lot cheaper than in USA, for example.

Wow.i am surprised to see one thing not get mentioned here.

Join the Service.

Help with collage,you can live on the base for next to nothing,they give you money for food and necessities,and you are old enough to join without permission. You can request a ship date that is within days of your graduation(or even the day after if you want).If you are at the end of your rope,so to speak,find a ride to the recruiting station,and just sit down and talk to them.The Army is very good for those who don't mind hard work,The Air Force is great for those that like a mental challenge,Marines are great for those that love both hard work and mental stress,and the Navy is akin to the Air Force in the water(haven't talked to a lot of Navymen)
 

"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.
