"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.

More mind games, and a few great moments.

What if it were two men creating rumors about a female dance instructor that one of them had been intimately interested in at some point? What would these men do if the woman, had called them to the carpet, agreed and amplified in a similar fashion? In all likelihood they would never show their faces in that class again. Not so for women. They'll hungrily return again and again, like junkies looking for a fix, until such time as JOPHIL ceases to give it to them, or they grow bored and find another source of indignation.
For the record, their charges of my misbehaving in the car park are partly true. Their claims were exaggerated however. There were two women (my BPD wack was one ) back in 2006, who regularly fogged up my windshield after class finished. Funny how this information was stored and then used in an attempt to blacken my character three years later.

If the genders were reversed, and two men conspired to gossip about a female dance instructor, (it's unlikely) then I believe that the remaining staff would band together against the conspirators and hound them into leaving the studio in disgrace.

Finally, I agree that those women will return for round 2 and I expect even more exaggerated charges. If that does not work, and they exhaust their store of information, then they will just invent some more allegations , or create a whispering campaign. When it comes to a good scandal, facts and historical accuracy provide poor ingredients. Easier to just make sh1t up and fling it at the fan.
 

"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.

Now, admittedly, this all seems very adolescent, especially considering these women are in their 40s and JOPHIL is 53. However, this is the level to which these "adult" women have chosen to engage themselves, all in the pursuit of the rush that results from indignation. In fact, they've manufactured it for themselves by concocting rumors about JOPHIL, only to have him up their hormonal dosage beyond their best expectation with his response.
I think this may have been Jophil's most impressive response yet. I have to admit I probably wouldn't have thought of it. Those women are probably working themselves up into a frenzy and getting themselves wetter and wetter just thinking about it.

To really appreciate this, reverse the gender roles. What if it were two men creating rumors about a female dance instructor that one of them had been intimately interested in at some point? What would these men do if the woman, had called them to the carpet, agreed and amplified in a similar fashion?
It's admittedly a double standard, but the woman would have been publicly shamed about behaving in such a manner. Since it was a male, it merely enhances his reputation. It's just the way things work.

This is a great post. Nice to see some play by play.

The intitlement of women never fails to surprise me. I behaved bad and still talk to you, buy me dinner. I want to ride in the "nice" car, not the truck. I can make a scene coming in late and you "must" talk to me.

Keep up the good work.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This quote makes sense:

The strong, independent part of you had to go into hiding because a BPD/NPD woman can’t tolerate strength and independence in others—it means they’re not in control. So they break your spirit to control you and establish their distorted view of themselves and reality. It’s like being under a spell. You’ve broken the spell.

SW was building this up for the past few days and JOPHIL just gave her a fix. She was practically marinating in her own endorphins.

Prediction: she'll come back for more. Addicts always do.
Unfortunately, most women are endorphin addicts. See what we got to deal with guys?!...
