"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 can now: vote, buy ciggies in some states, not fvck high school students, open an online account with my bank, use paypal, get a sam's club card, tell my parents to fvck off (unless they wave a hundred dollar bill in my face), pay taxes, not have to use a fake ID to get into 18+ clubs, though I will anyway so I can drink, and get drafted.

Happy 7th of July, Flab. Welcome to adulthood.
 

"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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Go to school and finish quick. Or go to work and make a lot of cash. Better yet do both at the same time like I'm doing now at the age of 21. I don't got a car, cell phone, none of that. All because of a lot of bad decisions that I'm paying for now. I won't ruin your day. hehe so Enjoy. Happy Birth Day!~

Unless your parents have beat you for the past 18 years you should keep a good relationship with them. They are the sole reason you are on the planet.

Like everyone, I have my personal issues. On the one hand, they come from my disposition, but on the other, a big part of it is the comfortble but relatively fvcked up childhood my parents gave me. I pretty much had to grow up too fast, I was in college by age 15.
 

"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.

Disposition? Didn't cry when my grandparent(s) died, i make little effort to be with friends and family, i alternate between inferiority and superiority complexes, depends on my age. Hate my culture, but can't assimilate into prototypical America because of racism, so I'm stuck in this middle ground where I don't connect with anyone (and consequently, Americans call me white-washed and my family says I don't know where I came from).

Divorce, poverty squashing all my interests (sports, martial arts, music, no money to support any of those things), lack of social life/jobs/transportation due to age, bullying in middle school due to age, general bad parenting (I have little respect for my parents, so they must have done something wrong).

They pushed me into the whole age thing. People will tell you it's nice to have a headstart, but it doesn't justify 12 years of misery. The age gap between me and my peers were such that I was too old to be pitied/looked after, but too young to fit in, so I just got shat on.

The good thing is, now that I'm an adult, I can make decisions for myself and find some passions, like music and dancing, probably the two things that have stopped me from becoming depressed.

So what did you study in college? Are you still in or working or what?

If you leave your parents that isn't really a bad thing, that's part of growing up. But don't do it in a negative way where there's tension or anger.I don't know many people who really respected their parents when then were 18.
 

"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.
