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.
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.
Uh, how do you know she is clean living? She is pregnant AND not married!! She IS NOT some teenage virginal wife (yes, they are really still out there).Zunder said:I have always gone for the sultry Portman looks rather than the beachyblonde california girl types.
Portman is clean living so might hold her looks for a lot longer than most chicks.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

America is just so odd in 2011. Personally, I could careless about some older woman like this.
^ its never a good idea to try to convince someone of a person's intelligence by babbling like a retard.

hb 9.5??? if she wasn't famous you can drop a couple of points and she would be just a 7 which is her true non famous rating.backbreaker said:and fore the record, if you caught her in a book store and didn't i know who she was and got her number you would be here bragging about the "9.5HB" that you bagged at the library (and you'd be right)
I speak 2 languages as well. Nothing special.1. she speaks hebrew and english

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
