"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.

so basically recently on the news- in the Uk, where i'm from- up north there is a guy who's just split up with his girlfriend who he finds out actually got with a police officer and married him.

His response:

do you think this kind of thing is what could be the causes of all these mass shootings? well atleast something related to a women?

hit me with your opinions and ideas

Peace

Aaz

UPDATE: Not sure if they were married as BBC and CNN say different things. But anyway- the point is still the same.

and its a good piece of info- but the guy is a Bouncer.
 

"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.

And yet this happens so often I'm not even surprised.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Umm, no he didn't. He blew his brains out with a shotgun. Not sure where you get your "news" from.

Actually, the family does seem to be debating on getting a second postmortem from an external source, as there were apparently 2 tasers fired.

Yea I know there is talk of 2 tasers being fired. However, Aazman said that he was arrested when in reality he blew his brains out...that's what I was referring to.

I thought the postmortem concluded that there were no taser marks anyway?

I mentioned that the family was considering getting a second postmortem.. I mean if the 2 tasers were fired why are there no marks reported in the postmortem? And if these marks were omitted or missed are these results reliable?

EDIT: I'm sure the cause of death is probably the self-inflicted bullet wound, but what if the trigger was reflexively pulled when the guy got hit with the tasers? There is an independent police inquiry into this, but I don't know enough about these to know if they are reliable.
 

"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.

+1, not everyone falls into categories of DJ and AFC. Moat wasn't an Average Frustrated Chump, he was a psychotic enraged hard nut.
