"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.

It's my friends birthday at the start of May, and amongst a lot of people, the girl he is sort-of involved with will be there. He's going to introduce her to me. I'm thinking, you guys would be able to give good advice on what approach to take - should I tell good stories about my friend, make him out to look good, that kind of thing?

Instinctually, I just want to go completely CF on her and have fun with her - but I suppose my buddy could do with some help here.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I understand you want to help out your friend and everything, but how about you help yourself out first. If you're asking us how you can help your friend out with women, I can only assume that you're stuck in the mud as well.

Instead of wasting your time trying to "solidify" your friend's position with this girl, practice with some harmless flirting. See what she laughs at and what she sees as awkward. I make it my priority to flirt harmlessly with all my friends' girlfriends. It's free practice, and you're sure to get a real response.

Talking your friend up is not only a waste of her time, but your time. Good luck.
 

"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.

Wow...just...wow.

Some of you are so far beyond hopeless that it's actually saddening.

If you can't even respect your FRIENDS, how the hell do you EVER expect to get anywhere with women?

Oh, you're that guy.
