"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 have seen this advice given by many people to a younger girl that might be interested in dating an older man.

The theory seems to be that an older man for example, a 45 year old man, is only interested in a 20 year old for one thing. i.e. he only wants her body. What else could he possibly want from you?!

I keep seeing this advice being given over and over again to younger women. Stay away from him. He is only after one thing.

My answer is SO What?! Here is a news flash. Most 20 year old guys are after girls for just one thing as well! They hardly want a relationship.

And the assumption is that the 20 year old girl does not want the same thing from the older guy. Why the assumption? Maybe all she wants is a physical relationship as well? Why can't girls also be with a guy for the same "one thing". We know they enjoy it as much as we do!

Either way, I find this ridiculous advice.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

and if he didn't want that one thing, he would be making friends with GUYS (who are logical and less flaky) instead of wasting time with immature young ladies. Some people just need to get a clue about what gender roles and relationships are all about.

"I don't want one thing... I like back massages too"
 

"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.

Advice means sh1t anyway to most young chickies now a days.

If a woman makes up her mind to sleep with someone there is little anyone can do in this world that can stop her, especially with words.

Only low-medium interest girls will listen to this advice.

truer words have never been spoken

if a woman likes you, there is very little any one can do to prevent her from sleeping with you

if a woman doesn't like you, there is very little anyone can do to make her sleep with you

Chickspeak: "He only wants one thing from you"

English Translation: "I really wish he only wanted that same one thing from me, so I'll put your feminine virtue in question to make you wonder if you're being a slut if you do bang him while I compete for his attention and hope he sees you as a prude."

More or less, local dialects may vary.
