"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.

Called a girl I've been seeing (4 months). She was out of town with her family all weekend so I hadn't seen her. I asked if she wanted to hang out tomorrow, she said she wasn't sure, we chatted a bit etc. etc.

Ten minutes after I said goodbye she called back, and said something to the effect of 'I won't hang out with you tomorrow, because I tried to hang out with you all last week and you didn't want to' (garbage because I was with her for almost three straight days last week - an awfully long time for me. I like my privacy). She also accused me of becoming 'too comfortable' with her.

I didn't capitulate (fall to my knees and swear my love) but I didn't completely call her on her BS because I wasn't in the mood for a long confrontation. In the end I smoothed things over.

I wouldn't be too upset if I lost this girl; I don't see much long-term potential in her. What confounds me is the desire of women to cause havoc and drama in their own lives. the more girls I meet the more I find myself really belieiving in the whole 'emotionally fragile' thing.
 

"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.

^ Stuff like this is why I almost piss myself laughing when I hear a girl say something like

"omg I can't stand drama" or "I don't hang out with girls because they cause drama" (that last one usually comes from girls that hang out with guys a lot , witch is in itself asking for drama)

women are unbelievably fragile and oblivious to their own mental problems , which is scary

I was talking to a female friend of mine about this. She flat-out told me "Don't be honest with us. We can't take it."
