"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.

After much self-reflection on my failings and loneliness, I wrote these pledges to myself. All of this is already documented on here but I had to write it for myself.

Dear Women,

Never again will I apologize for the car I drive.

Never again will I apologize for my frugal spending.

Never again will I believe that you respect my work ethic.

Never again will I miss the gym for a social event.

Never again will I believe my scars don’t bother you.

Never again will I wait to date you.

Never again will I, “Just be friends.”

Never again will I continue a date after hearing, “Let’s just be friends.”

Never again will I speak to you after you break up with me.

Never again will I believe you won’t leave at a moment’s notice.

Never again will I believe your bull**** breakup reasons.

Never again will I believe that you will change.

Never again will I believe that you’re innocent.

Never again will I get wrapped up in your drama.

Never again will I believe that your ex-boyfriends were the problem.

Never again will I believe anything you say about feelings for me.

Never again will I write you letters.

Never again will I believe in or practice romance.

Never again will I believe in “the one”.

Never again will I believe that you will accompany me.

Never again will you see my heart.

Never again will I care about the outcome.

Never again will I be a chump.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Right behind you
It took you 6 years to do this? Jesus. Well, at least it's done.

I gotta say though, this part really speaks to me:
Never again will you see my heart.
This is saddening but it is true for me just as much as the others. I don't think I can ever give my heart to a woman ever again, or even another person. Then again, it wasn't because of women that I'm like this either. Still saddening how you have an amazing ability that you are born with that you cannot even use
