"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.

ok so i was talking to this girl online right, more like email type thing rather than instant message - couple days in between replies sort of thing. and after a short intro she goes


"but ya, what do you do for fun :)"

and I go

"well on friday nights i usually go to the library, find the biggest book i can and try to count all the letters in it and see if i can beat my record befoe i fall asleep. tons of fun. either that or i wander the streets looking for new rocks for my rock collection. :) you?"

and she never replied.. i remember hearing something about not giving girls straight answers. so was what I wrote stupid, cause too me it was at least somewhat funny(although I think I was hihg when i wrote it lol, but still). your opinion?
 

"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.

Good idea but terrible execution. You went a bit overboard. And smileys are useless

I would have taken that time to demonstrate high value, but first you should have not qualified with her first attempt I would have asked a question like "why" first then answered with some high quality ****! rather than played around sarcastically build your status first then you can mess around like that later on
