"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.

Ok.. Might as well confess now. I'm a vancouver canucks fan. So is my wife.

Now that that's out of the way.. HOW BoUT DEM CANUCKS! They did well considering it was tryouts.

Should be a good game tonight vs Oilers.

GO CANUCKS GO!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Torterella's system in vancouver will be an interesting transition. I really don't know much about the canuks aside from the 2011 playoffs when my team won in 7. But Torterlla advocates a defense first style play. Shot blocking, and the like. It tires the players out as was evidenced by 2012 when the rangers lost to NJ in 6 and last year when the bruins ran them over.

I suspect the sedin sisters will produce offensivly, as will kesler if he can stay healthy. Not really sure about who your top D guys are so won't speak to them. Maybe that Zach Kaisson guy will mold into a decent power forward.

pre season has more AHL prospects in the lineup than NHL regulars. Don't put much stock into the games. Obviously some of the prospects know the big club is going to take a look so those guys will probably be playing at their best.
 

"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.

Yes.. True. Lots of games to go. Lots of time for conditioning.
