"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.

You are in small town, 150,000 people, in summer that number grows 8 to 10 times. There is a center plaza 5 stories no elevator. Office pricess across the town are pretty much the same. Some charge more in summer, others charge the same yearly.

On 5th floor rent is X, and year round income is 3X sometimes 4X, in the summer it is 12X.

On 4rth floor rent is 2X, and year round income I am assuming is the same.

On the ground floor rent is 4X, how to calculate my competitor's income? Would it be correct to assume his income is 4X * 3 or 12X?

I can't seem to decide whether I should move down or not, on one hand my rent is cheap, on the other hand I'm too fing high. I do electronic repairs.
 

"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.

How much more would it cost for you to pick up and deliver your orders?

I hope you and your competitors on the 1st floor deliver different products. If you do, I suggest you move to a different location or just stay where you are. If you don't, just stay where you are because I do not believe you would make 3 to 5X if you move down.
