"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 know masturbation threads have been done before but im hoping to get a little deeper into the topic.

in my experience, masturbation makes me less horny and raises my standards as i no longer think of women as 1's and 0's and start rating them on a more complex scale (0-10).

is this higher standards thing good or bad in your opinion?
why?
 

"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.

Higher standards are good. I would not worry about it. It is a personal thing. Masturbation is different for everyone. Take my case as an example. 90% of the time I masturbate is when I am in the car. For some reason that just turns me on. I don't think too much about it. Everyone is different.

I used to be a big fan of the no masturbation thing. It had a lot of benefits, but I recently found that it had one drawback.

After a while, you will be tempted to fook some warpig. Fortunately, I rubbed one out and quickly came (pun intended) to my senses lol.

I think it's all about balance. Yes you should have standards.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Yes, it depends on what stage you are at.

If you are just starting out and just want to get the "training" in, then not masturbating will compel you to get relief from other sources than your hand.

Whereas if you have played the field and realized that there is more to girls than just s*x (or so I've heard), then MB'ing occasionally will help to make sure you don't do something you might regret later.
