"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 unreasonable set going to the Olympics as a goal?

I am 23 and I am ok at TKD martial arts. I want to start training harder because I am kind of a slacker and I am sick of being an under achiever. People are always telling me I have potential and then I usually flake out.

I think that if terry fox can run across canada on one leg, then I shouldn't have to much trouble reaching the goal if I put in the time and effort. I would have to be training atleast 5 hours a day for the next five years.

I just want to know if it is even possible for someone who is in above average shape to go to become an athlete. I will start today.

What does it take to become a great athlete?
 

"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.

You must believe in yourself fully.

I played on our state(province) tennis team for a time, and as soon as you stop believing you can win... you lose.

You have to master your body and mind.

If you've got to ask that question, then you're probably not Olympic material.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
