"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.

I just found out they have all of it on Hulu and I've only seen some of it. I know it's comedy but anyone else find any parallels to real life?
 

“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.

David Faustino..""Bud"...actually tried to be a rapper in his time off set. The writers found out about it, and the bits in later shows where he insists upon being called Grand Master B are inside jokes. It was the writers forcing him to make fun of himself.

That's great. Bud is hilarious with his blow up doll references.

I enjoyed the show when I was a teenager. As an adult, I actually find it offensive. It portrays Al as a male loser while his wife does and spends whatever the fvck she wants. I don't find it funny in real life, and that's why I don't watch the show anymore

The bumbling dad trope is far too predominant in television. You see it in cartoons, commercials, and shows featuring a family. That is one thing that does bother me. I still find other aspects of it funny as I do for family guy and at one time did for the Simpsons.

Are there accomplished fathers in television who can be admired as role models? I assume Bill Cosby was at one point before the actor was found to be a problem around women. Anything modern seems to just put men in a ridiculous role.
 

"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.

This show is classic! It's pretty spot on showing Al no longer being sexually attracted to a wife he's been with for years and has children with. He consistently is lusting over younger hot chicks. I've seen similar behavior with guys I've worked with who are also married with childen.

Aside from that I think he gives the most inspirational life speech I've ever heard:

It was a funny show, but with a lot of stupid humor too. Obviously the point was that Al Bundy was beaten down by family life and his job as a shoe salesman - literally kneeling before women to make a living. I remember he used to boast about having scored four touchdowns in one high school football game - the peak of his life came when he was a teenager.

One of my favorite episodes was when there was a neighborhood peeping tom terrorizing the women. Peggy was actually upset that she hadn't been peeped on yet and took it as an insult. Al decided to make her feel better by posing as the tom and peeping her. I'm sure you can imagine what ensued if you've ever watched a sitcom.

Another good one was when the family dog, Buck, got a credit card in the mail and the family went on a crazy spending spree with it. Nobody in the family was "good" (no Lisa Simpson). Also, how funny is it that the son's name was Bud, and then they went ahead and named the dog Buck - practically the same name. And @Bible_Belt I do remember Faustino's lame rapping career, and also when he tried to run a nightclub in LA. I'm in Spain now and one of the wines I buy at the store is called "Faustino" - makes me chuckle every time.

Got to hand it to Bud, he never gave up on women. 5' 3" and scrawny and he keeps after girls the best he can. He even succeeds from time to time. He doesn't go mgtow, he doesn't go black pill incel, he keeps at it and goes for the gold.

Its a number game.. truest paradigm there is.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Absolutely true, despite the fact that his hot sister kept making fun of him and talking down to him.

Yeah I was always happy to see Kelly after the first few seasons.
 

"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 powered through every episode since I've never seen most of it before and it was on Hulu. As for Boy Meets World that one brings back memories. Feeny fe-hee-hee-hee-heeny.
