"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.

Just gt back from playing pool/longnecks and when i was leaving an arguement that began inside between some guy and his ex was escalating into a brawl outside, anyway the guy had the last word calling his ex a dirty whre and made a comment about her date just being the flavor of the month and the chump/superhero she was with moved her aside and was like "I'm giving you 3seconds to apologize to her,or i'm gonna split your fkn skull !!!"
like he was defending her honor or something LMAO

if someone talks sh!t about your girl do you go looking for a fight?
 

"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.

I only defend girls that I've known for a long time and that is only if the guy did something to her worthy of defending her over (hitting her or trying to rape her come to mind, the second one has happened before).

No. You never go looking for a fight. It's relatively cut and dried, easy to understand. Going and looking for a fight accomplishes nothing, gets you in legal trouble if you win, and in pain if you lose. Fighting is a last resort. And as far as defending a girl's honor or whatever bs some AFC will try to say that that qualifies as, it's not. If I'm out somewhere where girl friends are, then they know I'm there if some jackas$ gives 'em sh!t, but mostly just for the intimidation factor. I'm a big guy, 6'4", but that doesnt mean I can fight the gun out of a psycho's hand. All it means is that my girl friends become less approachable targets.


So in short, the dumb a s s in your story is just that-a dumb a s s. Welcome to the world.

I can't imagine many AFC's getting into fights like that, there'd at least be hesitation.

But yeah I agree with the guy above, you've gotta be there willing to step in if things get out of hand. But don't go looking for fights, if someone's out of line I'll step in and tell them to cool off or whatever.

The only AFC in the fight was the ex-boyfriend who felt the need to follow his ex-girlfriend around and insult her AND the new guy she was with. Her new man was also getting insulted, remember.

He was looking to get his a$$ pounded.

As to whether or not the new man should have defended her...??? Judgement call for him.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'd defend my girl, but not aggressively. Something like:
"Cool it mate, we're all here for a good time. Don't work her up."
Then just ignore him and try to separate my girl and him. Of course if it comes to blows, I'm going to fight. But I won't start it.

You can be AFC and be aggressive. It's one of the signs of 'having' to prove yourself. A real alpha has nothing to prove.

LOL. I'm not the one looking for a fight in that situation, that guy was itching for beating to be honest. He's not man enough to take losing like a man. I probably would have laughed at dood and just said let's get out of her and give him a sly wink that means "I'm banging your chic tonight brah!" lol.
