"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.

I am sick of these tonsil stones!

This is about the 15th time i had tonsil stones in last year and a half. Each time i get it out by gargling myself to throw it up. Last time it actually went down by using a q tip and eating a lot and eventually it dissapeared.

This time, the tonsil stone is here BUT i cannot see it . Does anyone know how i can get rid of it if i can't see it when i open my mouth and use a flashlight? This feeling in my throat is very frustrating. You feel the food stuck in your throat whether you talk or swallow.

Thank you.
 

"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.

You'll be stuck with them as long as you have your tonsils. The problem is the stones get stuck in your throat usually from food. These stones stink like sh*t, literally. I actually feel sorry for people who have these things. People who get their tonsils removed don't have to worry about having these stones.

did you try the bi-carb soda mouth after every meal. Worked for me.

I have them too. It's not THAT bad. Most of the time I can't feel them and when I can some gentle pressure with a finger at the base of the tonsil will usually release the stone.

"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.

I used to get them all the time, but in the last few years, they mysteriously stopped. I never had my tonsils removed, they just went away on their own.
