"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.

....that we, as guys, tend to date girls who look like us?

It's really strange. Does anyone besides me notice this?

With every girl whom I've dated, there's been at least one person who commented, "Are you two related?"

"Are you two cousins"

"Are you two brother and sister?"

This has happened with every single girl I've hooked up with. It's really strange.

Has anyone else noticed that the girls you're attracted to look related to you? Or am I just an incest freak.....

Lol please respond
 

"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.

Sometimes I just get "Are you two together"
which i like, because i feel like it shows we're compatible.
It's real nice when i am just getting to know a girl.

I do know what White Boy is saying, though. Maybe it's narcissism or whatever but i notice a lot of guys with similar looking GFs. Look a Johnny Depp and his wife.
they look the same.

This observation is well-documented. It is no secret. People very often go for what is familiar. The same observation can even be made with pets, not just girlfriends/boyfriends.

I once saw a couple that I swear looked like they could easily be brother and sister.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

oh and how could I forget? There is a TRUE story out there about a couple that met and hooked up. Turns out they were long lost brother and sister. They had never met before and didn't know.

and cue the crying game.

Sometimes you tend to date girls that look like your mom (Freudian theory), which is basically she looks like you.

Sometimes, by spending so much time together, a couple might end up looking alike.

It's a real phenomenon. You're gf is generally some you feel comfortable around and who passes the boner test.

The comfort piece might be because she LOOKS like your mom or sister, i.e. someone you associate with comfort and warm feelings.

Nothing twisted or incestuous about it. It just happens unconsciously.

Yes it's true. Or you search for the facial 'lines ' that your mom or dad had.

My dad has big forehead. And my mom is blonde. And well I go into horndog mode when I see a blonde with big wide forehead.

Though none of them had blue eyes....
So what you're saying is that indirectly, you get turned on by your dad??
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I've heard that what happens is you unconsciously see familiarity in a person, they may have features similar to family members, and that makes you more comfortable around the person, and also slightly more attracted to them.

It's pretty interesting, I've been told there's some sociological and psychological reports on this subject, never bothered looking it up though haha.
