"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.

That sounds like my ex. She swore up and down that she was gonna get dreads.

NOT ON MY WATCH B!TCH!!

And she could talk for days. Nope! Left the ho rea'o quick.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey Razor, unrelated to this discussion but I'm curious all the same, you spoke about a lot of stuff in the past tense there, like it was in the (distant) past. Are you in an LTR or just on hiatus from the 'scene'?

A notable shaming comeback from me recently:

Girl: Scars, you are such a wh0re!
Me: I'm not a wh0re, I'm an opportunist!

I forgot where I heard this once, but I always thought it was pretty clever.

The days of clubbing a girl over the head and dragging her into your cave are gone.

Its a much sophisticated ballgame.

Trader is spot on.

Phone, Online and Text = Saftey, comfort zone, insurance to act uppity, brave and higher rejection frequency.

Approaching, face-to-face and social gathering = kitten-persona, everything sweet, ditzy, innocent and less readily to reject.
 

"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'm a little embarrassed that this hasn't been mentioned, but what if a girl asks if you're gay?

THis has happened to me twice, both times with HB9s that were pretty into me--I thought--and I wasn't escalating strongly enough. Or I thought I was escalating pretty well, but obviously not as much as they wanted/expected. What I concluded is that the really hot girls are so used to guys falling over themselves giving her sh*tloads of attention, when I act comfortable with myself it confuses them..

So when a girl later asks you--"Are you gay?" (meaning I didn't escalate enough, or I DID escalate but apparently only gay guys are confident to get a girl to sit on your lap?)
I took it pretty disrespectfully, but calmy said, "No, are you?" (of course she gave me the opportunity to mess w/ her, saying 'lol I mostly like boys,' to which I replied 'Mostly! Wow so you arent afraid to try girls out thats getting me pretty hot and bothered')

I dont really know how to retort to this, I guess I'm pretty passive with hot slices of meat where I should be more aggressive. If you avoid passiveness you avoid getting asked that I guess?
