"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'm in ur house eatin' ur furnature
Alright, I have a friend who is completely fallen ONEitis for one of the most popular and dangerous girls at school (this should be high school forum, but I figured that you people have much more experience and wisdom). Now, my friend got a date set up with her, but he pissed her off a week and a half before it on AIM. After apologizing constantly (even though what he did was more tongue in cheek and not malicious or wrong), she has blocked him on AIM and is still very pissed off at him.

Nonetheless, my AFC homie decided to get her some Godiva, balloons, and a stuffed animal with an "I'm sorry card". I was not able to stop him from doing that, but I was able to get him to change it to a Valentine's theme barely mentioning the incident. Nonetheless, after this all out Valentine's, I think she'll look at him as a complete wuss and friend zone him permanently if she forgives him.

I know he's going to take a fall for this, but this guy is too stubborn to admit he's wrong sometimes. Just in case though, I need you're guys' incite and support. Please help me save of my friends from taking a major fall. Is he doing the right thing, or can it be made into the right thing to do? DJ's, an AFC and a great friend of mine needs your help.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Never apologise unless its REALLY serious!

This is as close to a rule as you can get with women. Women won't care about the actual apology but will think you weak for doing so. If you don't apologies, they'll call you a bastard but will respect you for not doing so.

Your friend sounds like he's blown it with this chick already. His best bet would be to ignore her and game other girls.

How much is this guy paying you to be his savior?

This is one of my best friends here, man. We've been homies 7 years. You don't care about your friends?
I care for them enough to respect their choices and not invoke my opinions upon them unless they ask for it. It's not my job to save them and feeling that they aren't capable to learn from their mistakes is insulting their character in my opinion.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well said. If you really care about your friend, let him make the mistakes. It'll be better for him in the long run. Even if you save him now, he'll still commit the same mistakes in the future.
