"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.
How would you feel about being a househusband?

"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.

Im fine going to the supermarket to get the food and cook my meals but there is no chance in hell I would let a woman be a bread winner in my house (that would be her house in that case).
I kill the spiders,she changes the diapers thats my concept of family.
Are you gonna dress your son in the morning and fix his hair? and if he behaves badly you will let him know that when his mother will come in evening he will be punished?

This is my problem with it. On the one hand, it sounds like most guys here are living on their own, so presumably they are doing their own housework anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.Who Dares Win said:
But I don't want to raise kids. And I don't want to be in a lower financial position than my wife/partner.
That said, I will be retiring in a few years, and one of the things I do plan on doing is spending more time on keeping the house up, as far as being clean, organized, and maintained. I don't have a problem with this, but I do wonder sometimes how it is going to affect my relationship. Is she going to resent my staying home while she has to work? Because although I provide a house, I don't pay her bills, health insurance, etc.
What is the difference between a gold digging gigolo and Mr. Mom ? Is there a difference ?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
