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.

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.
Lishy is so ****y because she knows that as a species, we men can't live without them and at the same time, we can't kill them neither... lolLishy said:You had better believe it!!!!!!!!![]()

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.
[emphasis mine]Mavrick said:If you are in a relationship, or you are looking for a relationship for validation or to fill a void, get out of it now and stop searching. It's better to end a co-dependent relationship and learn to be independent and unplugged than it is to stay in one or search for one.
You cannot and should not depend on another person for your happiness and value in the world. If you do, one day (most likely), your world will come crashing down around you, and you will have a hard time climbing out of your hole.
Always find yourself and be that person that you love the most. Love yourself the most. Then when you go in a relationship you won't be expecting anything from them, and you won't be let down. Your partner should only be a piece of the puzzle, not the puzzle itself. She should be an added bonus to your life, and not your life.
It's time we as men find value in ourselves and offer our value to these ladies. We have to stop asking these women to fill our half-filled cups with their validation they unwilling bestow on us because of our desperation. We are men, and we offer our strength to women. We do not get our strength from them. Feminism cannot offer masculinity to a man.
We are strong, not only with muscle, but in mind. We do not beg, do not put a woman above ourselves, do not cry over women who have cheated or manipulated us. We control ourselves and we don't care what the outcome is because we as men live in the moment.
At this very moment it's time for weak men to change. It's time to find courage, strength, and validation in themselves. No longer will we be stuck in the past and dwell on what a woman has done to us and hold that against all future women because we control the frame. We control our destiny. We will stop looking to the future and stop worrying about the outcome with women because we as men only live in the NOW. We as men only live in the MOMENT!
Rise soldiers of misfortune and misguidance. March forward and don't look back. Be brave, be strong, and live in the moment.

what are you trying to say here? its good to be emotionaly attached after the break up?Interceptor said:And perhaps the greatest sign of growth and abundance is to STILL be emotionally attached, to Love another even if that person does not love you back.
Excellent point's made interceptor.Interceptor said:Good post, Mavrick.
Emotional Attachment is usually ALL or nothing for men.
They usually lack the Emotional Attachment Switch or gauge. In which they can invest emotionally a certain degree according to their resources, and theri needs being met.
it is important to be able to attach oneself carefully, and with full respect to one's feelings and resources.
And it is important to detach oneself when one is not being fulfilled by another in the way the would like.
And still be emotionally strong enough to not wish that person harm or any negative feelings.
When one's needs are being met, one can GIVE more freely.
When one is feeling lack or scarcity, one usually withdraws one's emotional resources from others, and often from oneself.
And perhaps the greatest sign of growth and abundance is to STILL be emotionally attached, to Love another even if that person does not love you back.
Lishy, the usual them of 'soldiers' , or preferably "Warriors' or alluding to military themes or war is a powerful one for men.
It is something that is part of being a man.
There are deep reasons for this.
And they dont necessarily mean a man versus woman War.
The notion of a Warrior or Soldier resonates very strongly for a lot of men.
And many women have no idea how to relate to it and understand it.
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.

Never ever depend on 1 woman for your sexual needs... She is powerless when have other options...
All my women tell me that they tell other men that very thing...LOLLishy said:5 of me? I doubt it babe!
I may be female, but this female would not be up for a booty call!![]()
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.
"Letting go" only works well when you have several other thing to grab onto (which most men do not) hence why it works so well for women who are constantly being offered companionship...Victory Unlimited said:Ahhh...yet ANOTHER good post by one of our "newer" recruits.
Great Work, Mavrick. MUCH RESPECT.
LETTING GO is a powerful weapon for us to use when the burdens we are carrying become more than we can, OR SHOULD, bear.[/B]
