"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.

But the old geezers getting his panties in a bunch and assuming its the 14 year old.
I don't believe he made the joke about the 18 year old, but I don't think it matters. He doesn't matter to me if she was 14 (which is old enough to get pregnant), 18 or 28. If (which will never happen) he had made the same joke about a liberal politician's daughter then it would've been considered by most everyone as offensive. The point is there's a liberal bias, sort of like the one you have.
 

"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.

Letterman responded last night by saying that the joke was aimed at 18-year-old Bristol Palin, not Willow: “We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter [Bristol]... and now they’re upset with me…” Letterman said.
But yet,
Palin was in New York with her 14-year-old daughter, Willow. (source)
So, how is it conceivably believable it wasn't about the 14 year old? The writers had their facts wrong?

All this outrage is just a way for Sarah to generate heat to coin a phrase from wrestling. That woman and her family has been the butt of so many jokes its ridiculous. Now that she's out on her own and trying to get noticed by her own party, she wants to take a stand. It's just like when Bill O' Reilly skipped over every woman Eminem made fun of in his video to say how wrong it was to make fun of funbags...I mean Palin.

Because the 14 year old wasn't knocked up before. Was she?

It took Letterman a couple days to come out and say it was about the 18 year-old Bristol. Why did it take him so long to respond?

The daughter he was talking about was definitely Willow. He was talking about how how Palin and her daughter were in NY at a Yankee game recently and then she got knocked up by A-rod in the 7th inning. The daughter that was with Palin at that game was Willow. Pretty obvious he was lying.

No one here can deny that it was a terrible joke about a young woman who did nothing to deserve it. Imagine if someone made that joke about your daughter on National television? I don't think anyone here would be laughing. I think they would want to tear Lettermans arms off and beat him with them. Or sue the hell out of him.
 

"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.

All I want to know is where's A-Rod's apology?
