"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.

Feeling nostalgic for my high school days...

And I like literally just graduated a week ago. Its starting to set in that I'll never be going back to my high school, that I'll never attend class there again, that I'll be splitting up from a lot of my friends. I feel like I just wish I could go back to those days and do things differently, you know? I wasn't too successful with women in high school, so I feel like I wasted my time, even though I tell myself I shouldn't base the good times off what girls I slept with. Ignoring that, I had a lot of good times, especially this past year. But now it's all gone, wtf!

Man, thinking about this is a bummer. Like, it's really got me down.

College feels like a completely new experience and I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but I'm a little nervous/anxious about it. I know everyone says that college is gonna be the shyt and I fully expect it to be, but at the same time I'm a little hesitant.

I dunno, I guess anyone feeling the same? Anyone able to offer some advice?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

went through the same thing, occasionally do when i think of all the good times back in high school. Just make sure you start college full-on raring to go. Don't be timid, there is so much stuff to experience in college it's not funny.

Yeah dude college is 10x better than high school. So much crazy stuff awaits you in college that you can't even predict it right now. Trust me, once you get done with college, you'll look back at this thread and wonder how you could've felt about your high school days like this LoL....

I think everyone would have done things differently if they could go back to high school. Think of it as a learning experience. You absolutely CANNOT get it back, so my advice to you is this. Embrace the present, ie college. Forget high school and don't stay stuck in those days. Move forward and have a good time.

Never live in the past. Enjoy the nostalgic memories briefly and move on to bigger, better and more exciting things brah
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
