"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.

You will need PROOF of her neglect. That is what the courts give a sh!t about. Nothing else. Do you think for one second her old man will roll over on her? Don't hold your breath.

Don't wait for her to fvck up, be proactive and catch her in the act. Hire a Private Detective so he can notate how long she's gone and other things to present to the court. He can testify on your behalf, you can't.
The truth is.. I think she wants me to have my son. She knows it's best. It's just a matter of working out the details. We'll sit down and work this out. I'll have my son, one way or another.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

If she files, is it automatic that they garnish my paycheck? How does this work? Secondly, if I feel the amount is unreasonable, how do I go forth and fight it?
In my line of work, every day I read case notes on child support enforcement cases. My access is rather limited in scope and I don't really see the legal side, but I do see notes regarding locating absent parents, paternity establishment, eventually the garnishment of wages, I even see the records of the actual garnished wages, and my boss is a child support expert. I can only speak on behalf of the state of Florida, but I would imagine the general proceedings are probably similiar to whichever state you reside. From start to finish, the process can easily take over one year to establish payments and the garnishment of wages is calculated upon your income minus your living expenses. There is an appeals process in place should you feel the determined payments were unfairly calculated.
