"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.

I just got back from meeting up with this girl, long story short she said she has oral herpes from babies spitting at her face (She studied early childhood education) I don't think I have herpes. I remember having pimples, atleast thats what i thought at the time on my upper lips.

They say 80% of the general adult population has it, I know eventually I'll catch it with some other girl so it doent matter if its now or later. What matters is if my body can keep the herpes dormant.

What do you guys think?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Well am pretty sure she doesn't know better, plus its safe to assume she kisses the babies too.

I'm grateful my azz don't have it....
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

What do you guys think?
LOL, that sounds like BS. She probably told you that because you wouldn't wanna know what guys have been "spitting" on her face.

From what I know of her, she said she has been in only 2 relationship and she is 25. Also her character does not seem like she messes around with random guys. Anyway that's beside the point.

Should I next her? ask her to let me know if she is having a breakout or not before kissing? dammit finally a girl i really like and I get this crap.

Dude, didn't you just say you just got back from meeting her? You already think you have a fair assessment of her "character" and you already really like her? Sounds to me like a case of oneitis developing.

I would personally not risk it. May sound cruel but herpes are for life.

At first I thought you wrote that dudes were spiting their babies @ her face
 

"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.

ahahhahah


Well its a hard decision man... There are many girls out there that have it so there is a pretty good chance that you could hook up with a random girl that will give it to you later on. Atleast she was honest with you, do some research i believe you can only catch it when she is braking out... i dunno.

The OP and a few responders should research the difference between genital and oral herpes since they're being discussed as if they're the same condition.

LOL...!!!!!! Males love to think stuff like that to make themseves feel better.... The truth about most women is too painfullll for most men...

Women are human they go through phases when they F like crazy randomly unprotected then they become "good" again... they will never tell even themselves aBOUT ALL TEH WIDE CRAZY FUN STUFF THEY HAVE DONE... SO THEY WONT TELL YOU EITHER!!! Face it. MOst of the biggest S!UTS eventually become some ones wife after 35 soooooo..... what you gonna do????
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Jeezus!

She just told you she gets cold sores. That's it!

Tell her about Lipactin (get it at the drugstore) and live life.

This isn't a big deal, and does not imply any slutty habits.

Most people have it/will get it, without symptoms. You probably already have it. Just make sure that if she's breaking out with a cold sore to use caution (I wouldn't let her near my wang.)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
