"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.

When first discovered game dynamic from Neil Strauss, AMOGing became a new awareness I had never even thought about. At first it was empowering to realize how many dudes are complete pussies and can’t hold eye contact with another man. But it also wrecked my frame when I’d meet others with equally unflinching eye contact. It had a weird self-questioning effect that could mess with my mojo.

Then one solo night a year and half ago while wenching this bulkier and equally charming guy inserted himself into a circle I was working. Our eye contact was firm and I felt it coming again and instead I up-nodded guy, smiled and said, “whassup?”

He replies in kind and we bullsh!t for a second. Dude has a powerful presence, I’m impressed even intimidated. Then he’s all:

“These your girls?” with a sly tone

“Nope” He made an eye motion to chick he was after, I shrugged and indicated mine. All of sudden the energy changed and with an equally sly smile he said:

“Lets get ‘em”

All of a sudden I hand an instant wing-man and we both pulled our targets and traded numbers for future adventures. Last night we were rocking the house at the very same bar when between shots we were joking about competition in the field. He's all:

“if you’re fighting over a b!tich here, you’re an Idiot and don’t get it.” I agree and respond:

“Its way more fun when you’re allies” and that note we went back to work. I Got some numbers had a great night and total a epiphany:

If you’re worth your salt, no man’s your competition, but he can be your equal.

Game recognizes Game, yes?

I've acquired many instant allies since. Some have budded into awesome friendships sometimes just a shot at the bar when we see each other.

There’s no point in competing for a woman, you’ll inflate her ego and lower your value. Chicks aren't stupid, they see this crap all the time, and I doubt they're ever impressed by it.

So thus I say when running your game, you’re either surrounded by idiots or allies. When some kid’s trying to interfere with my game, I ignore him because he clearly doesn't get it. Girls do take notice of this, and every time I adhere to this rule their attention rarely shifts. If it does? Well sh!t, I'm not attracted to those with the attention span of a cricket anyways.

Men with social tact and respect get a fair shot with the rest of us, in this game we could use as many teammates as possible.
 

"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.

I prefer to say "If you’re worth your salt, no man’s your competition, but can be beneficial."

Something about saying a guy "is your equal" that doesnt mix well with my competitive nature. That being said, Im all for guys being cool with one another and I always treat every guy with indifference unless he shows hes cool. Because I have often found.....the majority of guys will disappoint you. Since 95% of guys are chumps....hes bound to be one.

Yep. Some instant wings are ok. But most I met have been very creepy and turned off both girls lol.

It's a judgement call. Some guys are cool. Some have good intentions but are creepy or say/do lame things because of lack of game. Some are just back-stabbers. You have to size up the guy very quickly.

I prefer not to go there at all and thus remain solo. But that's me.

Yeah of course, you don't need wingmen for cougars. :)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Fair critique indeed. Im from a family of 5 boys so competition and cooperation are hand in hand I guess. But its a true story about some of them turning out to be crappy wingmen. I'm just better at sizing them up now.
