"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.

Need help with this...eye contact in a gym

I'm not new here...I used to post under Phonk Beta but I couldn't change my password under that account so I made a new one.

Anyway, I go to a Bally's Gym and everytime I go, I make eye contact with a lot of women there. Usually, I'll make a long one with each woman but then I'll make little small "one-second glances" with them.

What does all this eye contact mean? I don't smile at all when I make eye contact with these women. I only do if they smile first.

What can I do to make this eye contact turn into something else?

BTW, I have a very serious demeanor when I go into the gym, which is usually why I don't smile. I know some people go there to make friends but I go there to actually put in hardwork. I'm a aspiring powerlifter.
 

"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.

There's this guy in this forum, really cool. I've gotten the HONOR of meeting him personally, he rocks, he's coolness in it's most greatest presentation.

He has this thread that has something like "meets all women at his gym in a week" in the title of the thread, search for it. If you still have some doubts about this, he'll surely read this thread and give you a hand.

How come? What are you afraid of? What's there to lose?

SamePendo,

I read your thread about the gym thing. Now, what are women thinking when I make eye contact with them all the time but do not smile? How can I make myself more appealing or more approachable?

"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.

there are lots of homos that go to my gym. For one, there's nothing to smile about while I'm working out. And two, I don't want to come off as being one of the homos.

I'll give it a try. What else can I do to make myself appear more approachable?
