"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 want to give this tip that I think will help you guys big time. First of all I am far from perfect and make lots of mistakes in spelling and when writing. It is one thing to use the incorrect word here and there but most of the message is clear. I take this to text messages as well, I would rather take a few seconds and write out a real message rather than a hard to decipher text message and I certainly want to receive clear messages as well.
I make this comment because in part when I read some of the text you guys post, I am amazed that girls would want to continue talking to you. Unless their writing skills are that poor let me assure you that you are being put in a different category than someone who can articulate well both in person and in writing.
Just take a few seconds and spell check, you don't have to be perfect you can probably find errors in my posts here but the message I am writing is still clear. Now if a chick wants to pick you apart to an excessive degree she can fu** off but I am just saying in general. Slow down and write a decent message and expect the same.
 

"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.
