"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.

Maybe i shouldve anticipated this already but frankly i wasnt surprised when it happened. But regardless its ok and normal for ppl to have their own lives and priorities...but nothing like this.

I kind of sensed this girl had low/moderate IL. Well i setup a time today 4:30 to meet me at X. I get a call before 4:30 telling me she'll be a little late cause of trains running slow.

Well i show up a little late also around 4:40-:45. Didnt see a sign of her in the area and even looked around the area. stayed till 5pm, no sign of her nor call, so i left.

I got back home around 5:30, my cell rang 3x and she hung up w/o even getting to my voicemail...(if she respected me at all she would've left a voicemail). I called her back and picks up and she asks where i am, so i tell her I just got back home. She said "ok i guess ill tty tomorrow or something." hang up. To top it off...she didnt have an excuse for her lateness.

A few mins later i texted that i dont tolerate BS from girls and if she doesnt respect me enough to meet me on time then dont waste my time. I didnt get a text back as i dont expect to, but i just wanted to make it clear with her.

From the start my gut already knew her IL was in the low...yet i still bothered with her anyway. my IL is low too but i wouldnt mind seeing her and see what happens...for the record we went on a date a week ago.

Was i too harsh and give it another shot or move on and let her phone me?
 

"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.

its not a question of 'moving on', cause you should be gaming other girls anyway. If your IL is low too, i guess theres no point wasting time. At least she knows you wont take sh1t.

not everyone leaves voicemails, get over it.

also, if a girl flakes why even bother telling her you don't deal with that sht?
she tells you that she'll talk to you tomorrow? then let her talk to you tomorrow, but don't make plans with her anymore.

Why did you even bother?
 

"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.
