"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'm ready to get laid again. Let's see how long it takes.

I'm just saying, most people are good for something. She is offering him a social plan B on a silver platter.

You have to get the whole, she is good for one thing or nothing, mentality out of your head. Otherwise you are a slave to your need for validation (and or sex)... AND lonely on nights you COULD BE hanging out with hot latin chicks and at the same time enjoying the benefits of being out in the night, and putting yourself in destiny's path (this will never ever be your living room).

That's very true. However I don't have the idea of "women are good for one thing" mindset. I have a "women are good for me for MANY things" mindset.

Currently, I have no desire to have female friends. They contribute as much as women I'm romantically involved with currently; not much.

Don't get me wrong, if friendship happens then it happens. I don't, however, go out of my way to make it happen. I don't avoid it if I think the girl would be good to be friends with.
 

"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.

Alright I'll play your game.

How should I reply to her "I'm going to sleep" text?

Ech, she's really looking for FRIENDSHIP validation right now, I'm telling you!

Don't reply! For the love of God don't reply!

If she ask if she's going out with you and HER friends DON'T REPLY!

ugh. How annoying of her.

Edit: If you don't want to go out with her and her friends, don't do it. If you don't feel it you're going to have a miserable time.

If you mediate and try to change your outlook, then you just might have fun.

Take a few deep breaths and decide what would be best for YOU.

Alright I do agree that she needs to be ignored for awhile.
 

"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 personally think ignoring her isn't going to do much, because I doubt she cares that much.

I think you should use her as a social option. Maybe you can even make her buy you drinks. You should go out with her and her friends (if you think it will be fun), and put HER in the friendzone. Don't act like you like her that way AT ALL.

Hahaha! Yeah who's HUNTING now?!

Eh?! EH!?!

Keep her on ignore. It's clearly bothering her. She wants games, she'll get them.

Iqqi PM'd me and called me a loser. You mad! lol

BTW Iqqi, clear out your PM's so I can let you know I placed you on ignore.
 

"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.

That is because you have tried to PM me about 32 times in the last two hours, when I have kept my PM box full ON PURPOSE to avoid your harrassment. ;)

You'll never learn!

MNIN for the past two hours.


EDIT: TATTLE TALE

So what's your race, MN?

You and Iqqi are acting awfully shadiy right now. Why in the BLUE hell is the dirty laundry between you two being aired out here?

Edit: 32 times? Really?

She's lying. It doesn't tell you how many times someone tried to PM you.

Actually, I don't need any more advice. I will be back next week after I hit that a$$ this weekend with a huge smile on my face.
 

"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.
