"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 just stopped at Winchell's and ate 4 donuts back to back. I couldn't resist. Damn, and I was doing so great lately!
 

"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.

Don't know about other guys, but it's necessary that I allow myself to eat some real shyt once in a while. I don't have too many bad cravings...I have no sweet tooth at all. But when it comes to French Fries :nervous: I let myself eat one order a week, and in that way it's easier to resist them during the week if they are offered to me. I am comforted knowing that I can have some fries on Friday or whenever. I really think when it comes to disciplining your diet, you need an occassional "exhaust valve" in order to avoid massive, cataclysmic dietary eruptions. ie, eating 4 donuts in one sitting WTF???
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I wouldnt sweat it, I doubt 4 donuts would make such a big difference in the long run, you will burn them off in a day or two!

You should have one day a week where you eat the foods you enjoy. That way you won't get in a rut and go out and binge on doughnuts.

Psychological tricks are for p*ssies.


You shouldn't be craving foods if you are getting appropriate nutrients.
