"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 am so sick of these women & their fairy-tales! Looking for Mr. Right, princess seeking prince, etc. I found this ad on-line under the heading Southern Lady looking for Mr Perfect's next door neighbor
Hi! I just recently moved back into the Henderson area. I'm 28 and enjoy, movies, cooking, snuggling on the couch, nice quiet evenings and some one who is fun to be around. I'm not looking for the perfect guy, just a friend who has a little bit of romance left in him So if this sounds like you then drop me a line. Talk to you soon.
So I sent this reply:

I am Mr. Perfect's next door neighbor & nefarious arch-nemesis, Mr. Wrong. I am somewhat hygenically negligent & eat spaghetti with my fingers, but people say I'm fun to be around. Everybody, that is, except that poor pathetic wuss-bag Mr. Perfect. I try to guide him--I try to show him the light. I wanted to teach him how to ride a Harley up the front steps & do burn-outs in the living room, but no, Mr. Perfect insists on being a drag. I park my bike beside the coffee table & pass out in a drunken stupor on the layer of pizza boxes & beer cans littering the floor, while foul black crankcase drippings seep into the remains of the carpet. Poor Mr. Perfect looks on in dismay, goes "Tsk tsk," and returns to sharpening his pencils.
 

"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.

I stay away from cliché filled profiles like the plague. :p Where's the originality? It shows that the person is pretty much like everyone else.

Mediocrity, ain't it a b1tch....
 

"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.
