"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 Los Angeles Safe?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I read that in Orange County, the tap water is sewage water that has been treated and pumped back to you. Yum.
Reclaimed water is only used for irrigation and other things as far as I know, not for drinking or showering or things like that.

After living in Los Angeles, and now living in NYC, there really is no difference. It's just a big mixture of poor people, middle-class folk, and upper class folk. I've never felt unsafe in Los Angeles. Certain parts, yes, but you have to understand people won't get shot at for driving through a particular neighborhood. Walking around you might get hassled, but like the song says, nobody walks in LA.

No one really lives in downtown LA. It's not like midtown manhattan. Downtown LA has mainly business and only a few residential high rises. Every part of LA is being gentrified just like NY has been. This fact alone makes both of these cities increasing expensive to live in, yet much safer than their previous times.

But to answer your question, you'll be pretty safe wherever you go. Just use common sense when dealing with certain people. Now if you were going to Oakland, Cleveland, or St. Louis, I'd say be more careful.
