"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.

How can I get more purpose behind my life? I dont know if its the adderall that I take or what, but I feel like I have no real drive.

Like, I can't bring myself to work on this script I'm writing hardly anymore, and last semester I had such a hard time actually studying because it wasn't fun to do. Its like I don't have any discipline, like I'm this ultra pleasure seeker and that I always want to be feeling good 100% of the time and working doesn't make me feel good so I don't do it. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty large social circle with a lot of friends and I get more than my fair share of girls, but when it comes time to actually be productive and not party/socialize/slack off, I have the hardest time forcing myself to do it. I'm heading back to college as a sophomore in the fall and I need to get this sorted out as soon as possible.

Can anyone relate to this or have any ways to kick myself a proverbial kick in the ass and start getting a work ethic?
 

"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.

Find something you really want to do, a passion or something, and do it.
Worked for me *shrugs*

The medicine might be reducing your drive by messing with your dopamine levels btw, I suggest asking your doctor about that.

ADHD? The medicine can do that to you. Talk to the doc. It can cause a false sense of well being among other things. Maybe it's your underlying DX. Please go see the doc and talk to him about it.

I'd say start working out and eating right. It's what did it for me, man.
 

"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.

It can be! Dude might be bisexual. Gay men often dedicate their lives to working out and looking good. Many older married men support young good looking guys. So, being in good shape in essence is your life.

Find something you like doing, and figure out how to get paid to do it.

It will get him started. Are you going to answer his question, or just comment on my answer?

Respectfully--please speak for yourself. Your values and beliefs aren't God. Your definition of purpose might not match another's definition, but that doesn't mean that you're right and that everyone else who happens to disagree is wrong.

So, you're telling me that eating and going to the gym are the most fulfilling things for you?
 

"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.

His purpose was not to eat and go to the gym. He was a bodybuiler. From what I know, he idolized Reg Parks and followed in his footsteps which is why they have similar physiques. Arnold took his lessons and surpassed him to become a champion in his sport. He decided to be the best, that's his purpose.

Fortress Maximus: Thanks for repping me down (3 months after you posted in this thread). How passive aggressive of you. Kind of sensitive aren't you?

Those drugs have side effect like depression, suicide, etc. You better off smoking weed IMO.
