"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.

Ive been watching the Lost seasons on netflix and the one character that really stands out from the whole crowd to me is the Jack, the doctor... I know this guy is not a DJ or a womanizer like the other dude Sawyer, but I definitely see him as a role model of a real man and a good example of how a leader should behave around other people and take charge in difficult situations...

I can see how a guy like that could attract women without even trying.... because everything he does offers VALUE to others, making sure that others survive...



what do you guys think of this character?
 

"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.

he starts off alright but becomes major afc. That's every typical guy. they hold it down until the woman breaks through his defenses and he gives up. Sawyer is a real dj and a$$ at the same time.

This is something I've just started to understand, people like altruism in others because it benefits THEM. People like Jack's selflessness because it's potentially beneficial to them as an individual. I admire characters like Sawyer and Don Draper more and more because they're honest about their self-interest. Self-interest is no bad thing, especially when that self-interest is supported by self-reliance, as opposed to relying on the altruism of others .
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Goddamn, I remember years ago going on this worthless corporate retreat, being divided into groups and being tasked to contemplate dozens of these "Lost" type island survivor scenarios. I was so naive, myself and every other member in the group praised the selfless individuals and admonished any character who acted in self-interest. Why did we do that? Because in those same circumstances we would benefit from the selfless actions of other people, it's a selfish motive.

Sawyer is a badass and less of an AFC, but Jack is more alpha due to his natural role as a leader. He may be overly selfless, but he does it an alpha way. Some girls would prefer Sawyer and others would choose Jack, depends on the girl. I would imagine higher quality girls who don't have daddy issues would choose Jack because he offers more and is a lot more together than sawyer (at least he appears to be when around everyone else). And I mean c'mon ladies he's a doctor.

Also Jack gets Kate (Evangaline Lily) nuff said.

Michele Rodriguez is about as DJ as a girl can get. I remember when her character saw Kate for the first time she looked at Jack and goes "you hittin' that?"

well I just starting watching it, i'm on season 2 lol, so Im not sure how much of an AFC Jack gets to be in the future seasons...

yea but deffinitely sawyer is is a badass DJ.. always teasing girls calling them nicknames and assuming attraction from all agirls that come close to him... he just believes they are into him, and he dominates them.

Jack is more of a pack leader, I mean he takes care of business and protects the ones in his trive... people in the show look up to him and make decisions based on whether he aproves or not...

its really interesting...
good qualities to acquire from both characters really, a good mix from both should be perfect...
