"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.

G'day people, I was curious,

WHAT TACTICS CAN WE USE FOR GETTING WOMEN TO RETURN VOICEMAILS, TEXT MESSAGES?

This is a really practical thread...

This is the usual situation:

I approach, usually in a very non-chalant way. I have an accent which girls love the first time I speak to them, so they are IOI all over the place. I usually get their number after about 5 minutes, telling them I'd better get back to studying (im in college), or that I have to meet up with friends, etc. I don't think its the approach.

I call about 1 or 2 days later, and I leave a voicemail, saying "Give me call back. This is the Australian guy you met blah blah"

Any suggestions?? Specific words we can say to get a response, or things you should do when asking for a number, how long, tone of voice when calling for the first time, (it is very rare that a girl will pickup the first time I call) or should I just NOT leave a voicemail, and call back a day or two later?

Also text messages, what have people found to be great at getting dates, return texts etc?

P.S. This isn't just me. This happens to alot of guys. The thing is I will end up hooking up with them later in about a week or two. I just find it so frustrating that they never answer, or return calls. So how do I short-circuit that defense that they seem to have up.


Cheers mates! Lets get it rolling, and lets keep it REAL...

"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.

An accent can keep a woman interested for only so long. The message you leave must be interesting enough for them to return your call. Just saysing "Give me call back. This is the Australian guy you met blah blah" just ain't gonna cut it.

I understand an accent wont last forever. That's not the point of this thread. The point is examples of successful voicemail/text messages that people have left, and have a good response rate to...

Post in the right section in the future. TIPS is for giving tips, not asking general questions. Thanks.

"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.
