"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.

Not really a shocker but it’s NEVER happened to me before. She’s a USA citizen now, 13yrs or so. She has a 6yr degree and makes good $$. She’s been fishing hard, thinking I’d tell her. Rude as fvck, am I right?

Not really looking for advice, just wanted to share.

Feel free to discuss or share similiar stories.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Legit (related) question.....
Say you were dating someone exclusively. When is it okay to ask someone you are dating what their income is, how long they have planned for retirement, etc?

In this case, the shoe is in the other foot b/c I make a terrific living.

I'm thinking four months in? For me, he has to have a retirement. I can't support two, in the lifestyle I want, on my retirement. I feel I need to ask before too much time has passed so I can weed the "no retirement" ones out.

Thoughts?

Depends the ethnicity....

Some want $$ and see it has a relationship factor. Especially she might want you to do more than her
She might be planning you moving in together too

Otherwise, she'll either stay à plate or spin you

This topic is funny to me.....a woman gets anxious about the way her body looks in certain sexual positions, wants the lights dim, wants to hide certain features, and shows reluctance at times. But she thinks its ok for her man to expose all his financial details! hahahaha Yeah sure babe, let me spread my financial portfolio right in your face so you can sniff all of that green!

My exwife was the last one I will ever share financial details with. I never tell them what I make or what I'm worth. If the hand I've currently shown isn't worthy, then she can hit the road. She is in it for the wrong reasons.

Women need to get better at sizing a guy up with out asking questions. Usually all of the clues are there, but most of you suck at putting it all together.

Sazc- you start asking me those questions and red flags are going up. Its amazing how females are some of the most covert/ creatures on the planet, yet they aren't very good detectives.

A chick is acting like a chick..... not a surprise. They all do this to some degree, they will stalk you on-line, check out your linked-in profile, Facebook, Twitter.... they check in with the 'girls network' to learn what they can about you. They freaking LOVE doing this sh!t.... They love the detective work and trying to figure you out. Don't ruin her fun... really you shouldn't be offended by this, it's female nature, make it a game and don't make it easy for them.

They ALL do this, most are just smart enough to figure it out on their own.

I have never told a plate how much money I make. They don't need to know.
