Yes, who wouldn't want to hear about their ex's new sex life? ****ing *****.
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 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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You females are loonytunes.penkitten said:shes trying to make you jealous by belittling your penis size. all women think men have penis envy and its all about who has the biggest one.
women have boob envy. whomever has the biggest bounciest rack, wins.
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.

Me: "Hello?"
Her: "ADDMAN! I'm with my new boyfriend, we're about to have SEX!"
Me: "great... so why u callin me? need me to give u guys some pointers on how to get started?"
Her: "no... I just thought maybe you'd be jealous?"
Me: "why would I be jealous?"
Her: "ohhh ok... well goodbye"
Any why is a guy hanging around a woman who's doing this?onemorerobot said:Yes, who wouldn't want to hear about their ex's new sex life? ****ing *****.
haha! Hooray for boobies! :crazy:penkitten said:shes trying to make you jealous by belittling your penis size. all women think men have penis envy and its all about who has the biggest one.
women have boob envy. whomever has the biggest bounciest rack, wins. all others in the room are inferior. its true. except you cant ask one of us, because we will lie and say you're an idiot for saying that.
therefore, when you ex says her new sex life with whats his face is great and his dong is about as big as a louisville slugger, you should mention how your new girl, miss big bouncy rack, says your dong is the most awesome in the land.
it helps to go find a new miss bouncy rack and walk around with her in public where the ex can see the big bouncy rack for herself. then she will go home and stew in it.
She's only mentioned it recently. Until now, I've had no reason to question our friendship.Francisco d'Anconia said:Any why is a guy hanging around a woman who's doing this?![]()
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.
Alright, so she's just done this. What's causing the confusion?onemorerobot said:She's only mentioned it recently. Until now, I've had no reason to question our friendship.
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.
