"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.

I have went sky diving a few times.

Take my word for it, Once you jump out of a plane(with a parachute of course!) then you really wont have a problem overcoming stupid little fears like approaching women.

Plus, the feeling of parachuting is inexpressible!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yes! Excellent tip.

And here's another one along the same lines.

Ever been hurt real bad by a woman? Remember the pain? Then try this. Why not cut off your arm! Once you feel the agony of this no emotional pain will faze you and then no woman will ever be able to hurt you again!

:D

Making the most of MY life
Good tip, my mates went sky-diving when we went to byron bay and they said when they got down they had a totally new outlook on life. I would love to do it, but i think someone would have to push me out to make me jump, aslong as it was tandum. lol:p
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I did skydiving once. I got a heart attack when the $300 bill got sent to me.

Maybe when I'm richer I'll do it again.

"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 still prefer to fly airplanes than to jump out of them. :cool: The only time I will be jumping, or ejecting, out of one is if it is about to blow up or crash.

Would definitely want to try skydiving, a little expensive though.

The only experience I have is Airborne school in Fort Benning.
 

"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.

just a bit of irony - a classic Zen story is that of a famous master who cut off his own arm in order to receive instructions from his master.

The morale of this tip is actually not bad, but it might have helped if it had actually been drawn out with perhaps the story used to illustrate the point rather than just this.

Basically, I think it is a really good idea to learn to cultivate a habit of crossing your own borders, fears and limitations in all aspects of life, makes transplanting that to the dating game quite a natural thing.

Some may do it by skydiving, but hell whatever suits you I suppose.

No I admit I do see the point of it, I just couldnt resist inserting that 'humorous' comment. DJ Mission I apologize, you have every reason to hate me. And I'm sure you probably do.
