"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.

Girls taller than you...

Do you guys like it or not? I just moved an old friend from friend zone to friends with benefits zone. She is beautiful looking (also smoking ass, super sense of style, lovely curly hair), but tall. I am 5'8 and she is 5'11. I never noticed it so much before except while kissing her tonight. I didn't feel as much on top of things as I usually feel because when we were standing I had to look up to look into her eyes. I am not terribly mad for this girl, but it seemed like an opportunity waiting to be cashed, so I cashed in. Anybody else have issues with women taller than themselves? It sucks for me because I find tall women extremely sexy, and I have this block that comes up when I am around them.

Update on the relationship I was considering... she was throwing a big tantrum about being exclusive and stuff (we have been dating only 2 months), I just let her blow off steam without offering any any answer at all. Two days later she writes saying she is happy with things as they are and is glad to give me my space. I love women.
 

"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.

Haha you are a happy guy!!!

I really do not have any problems with girls taller than me (I'm 6'1 and its rare to run into a girl taller than I.)

But...if a girl would judge you based on your height, she is shallow and would you even want to get close with a girl like that?

Just make sure you don't put her on a pedestal!

Good luck!

Never met one. At least never met an attractive one anyways.

Tall girls can fall for you fairly easily; the question is whether or not you fall for them. I prefer shorter girls, myself.
 

"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.

i dated one. in 6th grade. lol i wouldn't be able to do it personally. being taller than her is just something i have in my back pocket that helps me be more dominant. (6'3"-6'4" :D)

A couple of girls have nexted me because I they are taller than me. One was 5'9" and the other one was about 5'5" (but she liked to wear heels)

With that said, it's the girl's problem, not yours.

and if you're wondering, yes I hate being a midget.

I'm 5'10", so there aren't a ton of girls taller than me, but there are definitely some. My favorite line to use on them is, "What I lack in height I make up for in length," accompanied by a wink

Cheesy? Yes. Successful? If executed properly, absolutely.

Usually girls don't go for shorter guys.

But nice work on the second part dude. Most guys would defend, commit, offer explanations. You played it perfect.
 

"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'm about 5'6" and I've dated taller and shorter. Either way doesn't make a different to me.

I'm only 5'7" myself, the tallest girl I've ever dated was 6'1". Personally I prefer 'em shorter for most of the reasons stated above (easier to throw about the bedroom).
It's only really a big deal if you make it one, no pun intended.

I think some women get off on dating someone shorter than them. Especially if they are not used to it. They tend to be the more dominant, aggressive type of women though in my experience.

I'd find it a bit bizarre kissing a girl who is taller than you and having to look up to her! I don't even like women who are the same height as me. I like my women short, especially the petite Asian type for similar reasons to those listed above (you can pick 'em up and easy to manouver!)

Thats *really* lame. The fact you acknowledge it shows your insecurity.

Plus I'd rather be taller than have a bigger **** any day of the week.
