"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 wants me to lend her $140

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I dont even think good friends are trustable when money becomes involved.

I had a guy, knew him for a few years, pledged a fraternity with him. We had roomed together for over a year, spent countless time partying with him. Trusted him with my life and had risked my own for him on one occasion.

At 20 he got some worthless slut pregnant, was a broke college student and had no job, neither did she. Couldn't afford an abortion and the clock was ticking down before she changed her mind, she was already leaning on keeping it. I lent him $200 with an on his life promise to pay me back, made sure he knew I was very serious about it. He had a plan to get me paid back in increments within 3 months.

After the first two weeks he tried to stop paying. I hounded him for half a year and only ever got $140 back, only reason I got half of that was I took some of his books, traded them into the bookstore and kept $70 of the cash.

I don't think of him the same anymore, no longer trust him, now I always think he's out for his own best interests before considering mine.

The best thing you can do if your best friend needs a loan is point to a bank. It will ruin your friendship.

Better yet, tell her if she gives you a BJ everyday for a week, you'll lend her the money. Theres nothing like turning a women into a wh0re.
Do this and if she agrees enjoy the benefits then at the end of the week or two don't give her the money and claim you don't know what she's talking about.

Strange how most of you get so religious about your money... "it´s all about money all the time" that´s what you hear from about anybody returning to Russia from the States and the thread seems a good illustration for that.
Can´t judge from own experience as I haven´t been to the US yet.

If a friend is in real need and you can help him out - why not just give him the money...? I mean, having to pay for an abortion and sitting without money - what more serious reason could there be...?

Hounding that poor guy for months, selling his books... jeeeesus. Man, what were you doing...

I try to help my friends, and if the situation is such that I have money and a friend is in dire need - then I give it to him without any fuss. Without written statements and without interest payments. And I don´t expect it back. That would be foolish. If the money is paid back eventually - only the better.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I can lend money to a friend if I have enough. No questions asked. Just depends on how good of a friend she is.
