"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.

So today was Father's day. I'm going to skip over the attempt my ex made at ruining the day when I picked him up for this extra day. Things must always come at a price, and sometimes I wonder if it's worth the hassle. Today it was, but let's just say 5hit's gonna be flying tomorrow...

I took my kid to "family karaoke" night. It was pretty dead there which was fine. I played a bit of pool with him and signed us up for a couple of songs he knew. Since this was his first time, I went up to help carry him if he needed it. He didn't need me for very much :D

The kid's 7 years old. He can sing pretty good for his age. He can read all the words on the screen. He can keep a beat. He's easily better than many of the people I see get up and sing. But what got me the most was his confidence. Dude grabs the microphone, and he's a friggin' natural with it. "Hello Everybody! This is a song called "Here Comes The Sun" and he just goes to town singing The Beatles. After he's done, the crowd claps for him and he says "Thank you very much" and takes a bow.

This 5hit absolutely blew me away. The kid's confident and he's a natural leader. He's gonna need a pretty damn big stick to beat the women off him when he's older.
 

"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.

I'm sure your attitude has molded him to a point, i'm glad he's not taking your ex wife too seriously. Gratz...

That's great :) Puberty is going to be the real test though I guess.
