"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.

I was born and raised in NJ for 27 years before moving up to Mass for grad school. I always knew NJ had a bad reputation, but thought it was just a bunch of nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, I do not HATE NJ and it is not that bad. However, once you live somewhere else (another state) you do start to realize there are way nicer places out there.

For example, Mass. is cleaner, more historic and more scenic than NJ. I can think of atleast 20 towns off the top of my head in NJ that are crime infested areas. Mass only has around 6 or 7 that I know of.

Also, look at all the "NJ is the armpit of America" and "New Jersey is a dump" websites out on Yahoo and Google.
 

"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.

I forgot to mention that alot of people in defense of NJ might say, yeah we have close access to NYC, Philly and we have Atlantic City.


Well, NYC is dirty, expensive, rude and has too much energy.

Both Philly and Atlantic City are crime infested s*it holes.

Boston is superior to all three..GREAT CITY!!

Ive been to new jersey to visit my sister in Forked river. Its not bad, then again she lives in the wealthier areas where their are mostly old rich people. so its very peaceful. but its great she lives in an $ 800,000 house with her spouse and the house is huge! its right in front of the creek and they have a large yawt! I guess you can say their millionaires since my brother in law is a doctor. but other than that its very quiet and cold and I dont like cold weather so I prefer South Florida.

I called into the Bloomberg 1130 call-in show because they did a cute segment on a new "slogan" for NJ.
Mine was provocative - "New Jersey - disarmed and still dangerous."
"Why do you say that?" they asked.
"Because they have some of the strictest gun laws, and crime remains out of control in many of the cities."
"Well, we're not going to get into a gun control debate here... blah, blah, blah..."
 

"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.
