"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.

Man i asked this girl out a few days ago, and i waited at the destination for about 15 minutes today. So she doesn't show, but i have her address and i go all the way there.

I ring the doorbell and then her brother and mom answers the door.

Me: Is ________ home?
Brother: EY ARE YOU STILL GOING *yells really loud to upstairs* *her mom gives me a strange stare and doesn't say anything*
Her: *she just yells something back, i don't know what it is*
Brother: She can't make it, sorry.
Me: Ok.

Man this sucks. Well I'm a bit pissed off.
It's such a beautiful day too. Whatever. I'm going to enjoy whats left of today.
 

"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.

Seconding that. If she is not showing up, forget it.

When a girl pulls away from us, whether in a LTR or not, our natural inclination is to push harder toward them, but doing so is the worst thing to do. If a chick pulls away, pull away from her more.

We've all been there. If you learn this lesson at only 17, you will be ahead of your peers in the dating game.

Well put.
 

"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.
