"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.

After couple of weeks after finding out she's pregnant the doctor told her that the she might have had a miscarriage. We both feel a bit sad about it but also relieved, it happened naturally so there's no blame on anyone's part.

Since we've just got together, how this will panned out in the future I have no idea. I guess from now on I'll just concentrate on having fun and see what happens.

One thing for sure is I will use protection from now!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

And the modern day Atheist is the biggest cancer to society. So I guess it's 1-1 on the scoreboard.

Right, because religious people never do anything wrong. Tell me, who is more popular with the priests, choirboys or alter-boys?
 

"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.

I wouldn't know I'll ask my Priest next time I visit Church? Oh wait, I don't visit Church, but I do believe in God.

Some Religious people have always done wrong, not all of them, but some of them. However the decline of religion in the Western world seems to have gone hand in hand with a decay in morality in the Western world. I mean it could be a complete coincidence, I notice you only choose to pick on Christianity, I wonder if you would be big enough to level that kind of criticism at Judaism or Islam? Probably not - Jews and Muslims don't tend to take kindly to defamation of their religion by some holier-than-thou Atheist who thinks his excrement is made of 24 carrot Gold.

How many Atheists flew planes into the twin towers? How many wars have been fought over Atheism? None.

I don't care what religion you follow because if you look at the history, just about every religion has been baptized in blood. Even the Buddhists were once considered violent.

The fact of the matter is some of the worst atrocities in history have been caused in the name of Religion. You see a decay in society, I see an improvement. I am glad to live in a society where people can't be put to death for practicing witchcraft(not that I do) or get stoned for not falling in line with what the church wants.

guys this post is not about religion, leave it out. I just want to get it off my chest, no one in r/l knows about this so you guys are the only ones I can tell.

This means I am back in the game, since she had a miscarriage(am not happy about it) I feel no more responsibilities towards her. Feel so much more free now, while she was pregnant I felt sometimes I had to be careful what I say or do. Bring on some more plates...

A Terrorist is a Terrorist, you can't blame Islam for the lunacy of several men who hijacked aeroplanes and flew them into the World Trade Centre. Islam is not at fault for the actions of a minority who have twisted the words in the Quran to suit their own twisted agenda. Osama Bin Laden was no more a follower of Islam than I am and I'm a Roman Catholic.

You see an improvement? I see a break down in communities, I see higher divorce rates, I see children growing up in one parent households. I see people of my generation walking around with no respect for themselves, no respect for their fellow human beings and no respect for the society they live in. If that's an improvement then I despair for humanity because something is seriously wrong.

3000 people died on 9-11.
6 million Jews died in the holocaust.
30 million people died in the Taiping Rebellion.


How many people have to die before you admit that religion was a major factor in those tragedies?

I agree that Osama isn't a true Muslim, but that doesn't change the fact that he used religion as tool to cause death and destruction.

I see a society where kids aren't separated in schools by their colour. I see people who aren't staying in unhealthy/abusive marriages because others might judge them. I see a generation of people who are able to do things that their parents or grandparents could only dream of doing.

If you want to live in a more religious society, then by all means move to one. Sure you might get killed for voting for the wrong party, but hey at least you'll be in a more religious society.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Ok, I'll drop the religion thing. I have to ask though, how much have you talked to her about this? A miscarriage can be (and usually is) an extremely tough thing to go through.

We have not had a chance to talk about it properly yet, she just been to the doctor today. I am seeing her tomorrow night so will have a proper conversation with her. I don't know what to say about it though, I guess I will just console her if she feels down about it.

The good ol' kick her down the stairs trick never fails, eh?

On a side note, cut the religion flaming before I go Nazi Moderator on your asses.
