"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.

Midway through a 71-63 victory over Richmond Dec. 23 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, UCLA's "Mistletoe Cam" cut to a couple seated courtside. The man reaches into his pocket, pulls out a ring and says, "I knew that I was going to do this since the first day that I met you, and I figured now was as good a time as any." His girlfriend's response when he gets down on one knee and pops the question? Well, let's just say it involved an awkward pause and running in the other direction.

I feel bad for him.
 

"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.

Well and the fact she was put on the spot and in front of all those people certainly could not have helped.

All I am sure of is that if I ever decide to marry a woman I will propose to her in private.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think it was staged. Just recently in the news, it was reported that marriage is at an all time low, so the anti christian movement decided to pull this stunt in order to subconsciously persuade others to by pass this oath of the basic building block of society.

I'm sure this scandal will cause many other copy cats, and mock the marriage oath.

I would use the new popularity to spin more plates around campus. Dude, you go to UCLA, there is enough honeys there to make my whole family diabetic :rolleyes:

Lessons to be learned:

-Do NOT try to take the relationship "to the next level." Let women do their work.
-It's better to keep plates as plates.
-Turn your negativity into positivity.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Robyn923b: you mean you let her do the proposal thing ?
you're not gonna get marry soon ! ;p
but i'm intersting to know your point.

Packers2010: why you'll never get married ?
axcepted what the pook said, but if you find a great chick who's what you're just looking for and even better she's a true woman who's not trying to get a social status or even your money ???

sure i agree with you, i'm not gonna do that in public, not because it's a shame but because no one need to know what happens in my life excepted her and i !

Less is more. Keep it simple. Either way, he wanted marriage. Light or heavy can yield the same result, whether good or bad.

This type of sh*t only works in the movies successfully. Not in real life. He is guilty of over-application of pressure. The fine is some smashed feelings, 1 aching breaking heart, and a trip to Heartbroke River, Maine. That's my ruling.

I hope I don't see anybody here trying this just because it worked in that movie Anger Management. That's got epic fail written all over it in at least 7 languages.

Case closed.
