"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'm quite good looking, have my life together, good salary,etc. I'm consistently dating tons of girls. I'm very devoted to my faith so sex is not ahat I'm trying to achieve with women. I decided to breakup with my ex, 1.5 yrs ago. I've been in a few relationships since. I'm finding I'm constantly comparing the new girl to the ex. Is she prettier, more feminine,etc. They'll usually be prettier, but lack alot of the good qualities my ex had. Loyalty, devoted, hard working, But also income and a good job and education. I know some guys on here were married before. Just looking for advice. It's like my ex's characteristics really trump alota the girls out there. It's tough to feel like you've got something better, ya she may be prettier. But that's about it. Just looking for some positive feedback.
 

"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.

What's the question? You want us to tell you how not to compare girls you are meeting to your ex?

Each ex you every have will likely have some quality that others cannot compete with.
Also, keep in mind that your priorities change.

My ex wife of 14 years was a 9+, total package (some traits).
The last ex of an 8 month relationship, was max a 7, didn't have a doctorate, fought a weight problem.

I cared for the later far more than I ever did the former.
It took me two years to clear the formers impression out of my head though.

Whatever you do, never let these feelings influence to back peddling.
You will value another woman more than your ex.
It's natural, people change!

Looks like you are suffering from the dreaded one-itis.

This bug has infected every single member of this community at least once. It's a biological write-protect that women race can put in our heads.

What you need to do is:

1) First, recognize and admit your problem: That there are many suitable candidates for you, very close to you, as well as or even better than your ex and that it is very likely that your ex possessed qualities that are partially or completely shared by many other women, who are more good looking than your ex.

2) Second thing to do is to find ways to access those women, by trying out various ways to branch out.

This will take patience and hard-work; but it is very rewarding. And once you break the spell of one-itis and crack the code, you gain life-time immunity for further breaches so it's a golden bracelet for any sexually active man.

Good luck.

Dear Gimme,
One of Scarras indelible Mantras is,You go back only to rediscover why you left!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Excellent. The reasons are already coming back. What a great quote. Are you really 68?
