"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.

okay, I'm a big history guy, so when I found out starz was doing a new series on spartacus.

So, we watch the first two episodes. Look very promising. lots and lots of sex. lots of it.

so we get to the third episode of the damn show, and i have to basically waste an hour of my life to watch Spartacus get his ass whipped and surrender.

Okay starz... this is why you are starz and not hbo.

No one watches the sopranos to see Tony go to the joint.

No one watches law and order to see the killer get off.

this is what starz basically did.

I did not tune in to the damn show to watch Spartacus get his ass handed to him and surrender.

to make matters worse, there they could not have picked a better guy to write a series about... as no one is so famous yet so little is actually known about him. they could have made up anything they wanted and this is what they come up with.

And they just made my TV watching experience simpler becuase that is one show i will not bother to watch.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Excellent rant. I fully agree I watched it last night when I had so much else to be doing and was pissed when it ended like that. But it teaches him a lesson and left me wondering what is gonna happen. Although there isn't to much wondering if you know the history of Spartacus watching the show is more like waiting for stuff to happen.

The original Spartacus was targeted for gay's before it was socially acceptable. Why would a remake be any different? You guys are MEN complaining about a gay movie. You might as well talk about Brokeback Mountain.
 

"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.

^^ We are discussing the show. A show you obviously have not seen filled with tons of sexy naked women and more specifically Lucy Lawless.

Man if every woman looked as good as her at that age it would be a near perfect world.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
