"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.

That little bit by Jariel about how to handle being dumped has its value and the guy makes good points so I guess my issue is not with the poster but rather the site. The poster openly admits to remaining in a relationship with a girl who is trying to get with her ex. A girl who tries to make dates and whines to this guy about her ex. What? Granted they may or may not have been exclusive but regardless, such (and i hate using the term) an AFC move. Cmon there are guys on here that arent the swiftest and will sit in some relationship like that going yeah I know my girl does that. Seriously Jariels post may be a decent thread for discussion but a one way advice column. NO WAY.
 

"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.

Why not a flame on the poster?

Jariel's advice has basically always been geared to the AFC mindset. Some of the sh!t I've seen him spew in the past on here has been appalling, not forgetting the times he tagged teamed with that jaded, penis envying toe rag on here for awhile, it was a fvckin embarrassing site to behold indeed. Like a bad day at Loveshack.

Pay it no heed.

Are you talking about that Destini9 woman or whatever the hell her name was? The 40-year-old who started that website to rival this one?

Is there a post or thread you can link us to. I'm not sure what you're referring to.

No offence taken. My advice has always been aimed at the recovering AFC from the perspective of a former AFC.

Yeah, it was dumb and pathetic trying to maintain a relationship with a girl pursuing her ex, but that's the point of my post. I learned from the experience and shared it with you guys.

Titman, I suspect, is a keyboard jockey in the menopause. I've never seen any plausible advice or evidence of this guy's success in the field.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Hey Jariel,

I haven't seen you around lately. I thought you left the site. Guess i just overlooked your posts.

As always, I agree with most of your posts because we have the same mindset.
