"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.

Don’t put yourself in the grave just yet. My number one plate right now is 19. I’m 48. I have to suppress a giggle when I’m told how immature, inappropriate and “wrong” it is. Yeah, I feel terrible. Ha ha.

Now, back to the poster: obviously, age doesn’t mean sh*t. Sounds like an excuse. And on getting a number and not calling: what, you afraid to hurt her feelings? If you are not interested you are wasting your time and hers. She will appreciate it more if you don't call when you are not interested.

You sure have done a lot of thinking (reading her blog?) before you even see her. If you want to find out about her: hum, how about, um, talking to her about it?

OH, get more numbers. They won’t seem so golden when you have a jar full of them.
BSmeter going off the hook.
 

"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.

Aw, crap, you caught me. I’m actually a 17 yo lesbian girl who gets her jollies fooling you old farts.

But, let’s redirect our focus back to the poster, shall we?

If I actually were a “mature man” I could answer Meleth’s question about calling all the numbers I get.

The answer is NO, I don’t, and many here don’t as well. Don’t feel obligated to call just because you got the number.
