"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.

Well, my old '93 Lexus ES300 finally gave up the ghost - actually, it blew a gasket while driving down the interstate, filling my entire car with smoke. Not a great moment, especially considering it was nighttime and I'd just come home from a bar.

So, I took the plunge and bought my first new car... a 2007 Scion TC in the dark gray color. A few optional accessories like the iPod connection and color-changing CD player...

The difference between the two is night and day. Then again, the reality of going from no car payments to $300 a month (I put $5k down) isn't that pleasing... still, it's better than a lease!
 

"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.
