"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.

Is it good to be a jerk to your wife sometimes?

Bible Belt made a great point. At SoSuave we often neglect to recognize the importance of psychology, and how women (and men) tend to be products of their environment...usually the environment they grew up in.

Grew up in drama = will seek r/s that have drama
Grew up abandoned by daddy = will seek r/s with emotionally unavailable partners

etc etc etc.

This is all unconscious behavior, and it looks like that's what your chick is doing. When you're high, it frustrates her because you're disconnected on some level which probably mimics her father's behavior to a large extent. Just a hunch, I'm no professional :p
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I think she likes the drama and the emotion.
I think it's more her lack of options.

But hey, I'm not a psychologist. I just play one on TV. ;)

I don't regard it as being ok, but it's almost bound to happen, as is her being a jerk at times, too. I try to be always the good mate for her, because I want the same in return.

All men are mean degrading *******s that see women as vehicles of getting their own selfish desires. Men do not see females as human beings with thoughts, feelings and needs like their own. Females are just objects to be used for certain purposes and ignored for others.

You are mean to your wife because like every other male on this planet, you are selfish and have no compassion or empathy for anybody who is a female.
Cool story bro.

yeah, this issue has resolved itself. Turns out I needed some good meds from the shrink. We are talking controlled substance (very low dose), and I no longer feel the need to smoke and drink.
 

"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.

This is one thing that has changed as I have gotten older. When I was a kid, street drugs were very common. But these days, prescription drugs have become insanely popular. I bet most of the people I know are on some kind of antidepressant, anti-anxiety drug, mood stabilizer, opiate, or amphetamine.
