"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.

girl finds an 8 ball of cocaine in a book she bought off amazon

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Its a ploy by Amazon to sell more books, obviously.

It's certainly plausible, as Amazon sells used books. I couldn't help but find the irony of the title of the book, Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues.
 

"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.

I'm inclined to believe the story is valid and true.

Why, because of the Law of Large Numbers: rare things with a once-in-a-million probability happen all the time. Product tampering, although very rare, does happen. With the massive volume of books being sold, it would be more remarkable if things like this did not occasionally happen, even more remarkable for used books.

Amazon is already a huge empire (and why stop there, it may have happened at the book publisher) and there is no credible reason to think their book sales will increase, and in fact good reason to think their sales would decline if it was a major news story of product tampering. 99% of people find hard drugs reprehensible and many customers would stop using Amazon, at least for awhile, which would far outweigh the less than 1% of people whose ears would perk up. It's a small news story which will be quickly forgotten, so the net effect is zero.

Somewhere in the world, someone is frantically tearing apart their house about now looking for their stash.
