"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.

Any chess players here. What are some ways to improve my chess game besides playing.

Chess is the ultimate mind game. I feel that everyone here should be strong physically as well as mentally. I feel chess helps the mental aspect.

Chess lets talk about it. And if anyone would like to challenge me I will kick there A$$. LOL
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hmmm... was just about to go to bed.

Now...how to phrase this in the least geeky way possible...

I play chess.

I'd like to think I'm half decent.

If you're up for a game, I'll be more than happy to wipe you off the board.

edit: and if you want to learn how to play BETTER, send me a PM.

I gotta learn algaebraic notation if I want to get any better.

Not that I'm on this level, but Bobby Fischer said he got a lot better by playing blindfolded.
 

“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.

How high does one's rating have to be to make any money at chess?
~2100. The average adult is at 1200.

A 2100 Yahoo Chess rating doesn't count.
