"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.

Just curious how much of you let your dates beat you in sports:
pool, bowling, bball...etc.

Im a regular pool player myself, and usually on dates i prefer to bring the girl to my local pool hall for a few games....and in most or all cases they dont want to play because they know they suck. So i encourage them to play regardless and usually i pretend to suck and sometimes let them win.
But hey its great for kino and showing them how to aim correctly.

Sometimes even their self-esteem isnt so good at those places...im debating whether or not i should bring them to places like those anymore if they're not having fun?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Umm, if you are so good at pool and they aren't why would you play against them? Wouldn't they appreciate you using your talents to show them how to play? I think there would be even more opportunities for kino while showing her how to hold a stick (er, cue).

Air hockey is a fun one. Last time i tried to get my date to win it just wouldnt happen. In the end we both were busting up laughing becasue i put my finger on the table to point out something and she happened to smack that puck right into it. Was pretty darn funny and well, it hurt a little but nothing to call 911 about.

On another note. I have a friend who is pretty darn good at bowling. Invited her to a team social where we all went bowling and she happened to kick every one of our asses by at least 50 lol.

I would say pool, bowling or whatever your doing doesnt matter much... what is important is your interaction while your doing it. Teasing, banter, kino.. stuff like that. Thats all that counts.

"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.

yeah, it's good to let them win some of the time, imo. try not to make it obvious tho.

I actually like to avoid competitive dates for this reason.

How do you know that they don't want you to overpower them?

i do use power, but i eventually let them win in the end.:rock:
i dont wanna over power them because if i use all my strength it might come off as rape instead of just playing.
im a strong guy, so overpowering little fragile chicks might frighten them instead of arouse them.
