"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.
Interesting article about the diamond cartel's manipulation of romance

"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.
True, though that's a 30 year old article. Diamonds are usually only bought these days for engagement rings. The De Beers monopoly has been in a slow decline since the 80s, as that article correctly predicted.
Recently de Beers had to pay a $300 million antitrust settlement in the US, giving refunds to people who'd bought diamonds since the 1990s.
Funny enough, I was telling a girl about all this a few years back and she said, "I don't care, I love diamonds!" So clearly de Beers has done a good job, I think you'll see diamonds as engagement rings certainly as long as anyone reading this is alive.
