"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.

Deja vu.

Same-old-same-old.

Even the insults are the same.

Oh and while I'm here...

His birthdate in his profile says he's mid-thirties. That sounds over 25 to me.
 

"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.

I didn't look at his profile and his age doesn't show up on his posts. He sounds under 25 to me.

Frankly, this particular discussion should have ended immediately after someone posting on the thread told me it's always been there. I really did think it was moved or deleted...otherwise I wouldn't have asked about it. I politely thanked the person for their post and it should have ended there. If you go back and read beyond that point, you'll see why it didn't end there and why you're merely contributing to the problem.

I didn't read that until a very long time after you sent it because I had only made a "drive by" visit. That's why I never answered it.

I'm leaving again very soon...probably for good this time.
