"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.

If your GF's friend hit on you and made it pretty blaient, and your GF some how did not know... would you tell your GF?

part of me says why bother.

part of me say somehow this will bite me in the ass if I don't.
 

"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.

fvck I don't know.

let's say she blabs her mouth when she's drunk or something saying she's been talking to me behind her back and I get confronted and i'm red handed becuase I didnt' say something?


I don't want the friend, i'm more uncomfortable and disgusted than anything else, they have been friends for a while. And I would hate to piss my GF off over soehting so stupid as to not telling her that her friend wanted to fvck me and it somehow came out and I look guilty becuase I didn't fess up.

But on the other hand, if i don't say something maybe it will all just go away.

Get used to women hitting on you. We are DJ's. Why tell any girlfriend? It's what happens to men like us. It's like breathing or taking a dump. Are you going to tell your girl about that too?

Exactly.

Look at from this perspective:

Hey, if your GF's hot, she's getting hit on daily. Does she write you a detailed daily report? No.

When my GF's friends hit on me I just chuckle. There's a hint of jealousy from her, but what am I supposed to do? It's not a big deal, and I don't treat it as a big deal. If it's a big deal to my GF I'm obviously with an insecure girl. Sure, she should check her friends and evaluate how loyal they are to her, but if it's an obviously ugly girl way below your standards, then chances are it's just her fugly friend taking out her fantasy flirtations on an easily accessible guy. If the girlfriend is hot, take it as further confirmation of your game and move on with your life.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Red handed" for what? Turning down a chick's advances?

Don't say anything.

Most of the time when women do this they are simply jockeying for social position within their female ranks or trying to make their own b/f jealous.

I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Tell her and get it out. The longer you keep the secret and she finds out, the worse it's going to be. If she thinks you and her friend are in league with each other in any way when she gets into a fight with her friend, it's hell for you because her hate for her former friend goes toward you also. If she's on good terms with her friend right now, tell her. If not, tell her before her friend does because its better to be on the side of the chasm your gf is on than the side her friend is on. You have to understand men will go confront what ever the problem is, but woman will torture the closest thing that can be linked to whatever is bothering them.

she's not unattractive at all, and I sorta put myself in a position to let myself be hit on, and I feel kinda dirty becuase of it.

Sometimes women use their friends to test their man's loyalty.

Though your chick seems so cool I doubt thats what happened BB.

Get your gf to hit on the friend who hit on you. Your gf will do it to stay with you, and the other girl will do it to get to you. Then do them both at once.

It's really not that hard to do with most women. However, the friendship between your gf and the other woman will probably get awkward. When I was married, my wife went through several friends this way. I made out ok, though :D
 

"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.

If it's her friend and you're not intrested in her, then I'm of the belief telling your GF can't hurt you. One it makes you look like you don't hiding anything so you'll be more easily able to hide the girls you do want, and two it DHV you. A little competition anxiety never hurts.

let me tell you something:
guys don't trust anyone around their gf's except their best friend.
girls trust everyone around their bf's except their best friend.

so your gf probably already is jealous and just hasn't said anything yet.

This is grade A beta talk, my friend.

You do not worry about pissing off your girlfriend - or you will find yourself always supplicating to her because you are afraid of her potential reaction.

If she asked you if her friend hit on you, you say, half-jokingly, "jeez, which friend of yours HASN'T hit on me?"

Otherwise, let sleeping dogs lie.

what's beta is our pre concieved notion of what is "dJ" and what isn't

I've been in a relationsip with this woman for almost 3 years. we have a 1 and a half year old son together. Yes, I'm sorry if I care about her.


Hell even if I AM wrong, i'm not perfect. no one here is. we all have laspes of AFCism. we strive to always be a DJ but even the best of them lose it for a minute.


it's extremely "beta" to label somone beta off of 1 action, and frankely I just don't see how asking for advice becuaseI am honestly in a siutation I've neve been in, hll 'm ****ing 26 ears old cut me a break, s being "BETA"
