"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 an FYI for posters that you can place people on your ignore list by clicking on their profile. That way you never have to see another post of theirs. I use to have Wyld on my ignore list, I put iqqi there briefly but since removed her.

I'm awfully close to adding a new poster to my ignore list in the last 48 hours, he's so angry and trolls. Posts the same reply in every thread about AW's & flakes even when the thread isn't about AW's or flakes.

Who's on your ignore list?

ps does anyone know how to check who is on my ignore list?
 

"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.

FYI azanon apparantly Total Control is skip according to some posters but I've never even knew who skip was.
 

"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 may of put potato on there too once.

In anycase yeah it sounds like Mac could be considering Jack Prescott for the old ignore add.

That or this new Mavrick fellow but I haven't seen enough of his posts yet to know what he may of ticked Mac off for other than his morality posting agenda.

Good call General KontrollerX.

Here is some artillery for you to use to get this idiot on the ignore list:

Mavrick is an arrogant attention slvt!

"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.

Actually Mavrick is a buddy of mine. I didn't realize it at first though. It was just a good old healthy debate. His behaviour yesterday however seemed a little out of character.

Well to be fair, we can't see whatever the person on our ignore list is saying anyway.

It'll be a "he said, she said" scenario.
 

"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.

In practice, it never seems to be a completely effective means for me to not see what these people say. Sometimes, I begin to browse while forgetting to log in so the ignores are not enabled in that scenario. And even if I do log in, when someone quotes one of these people, I'll end up seeing the quoted text.
