"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.

I'm generally tired a fair bit, and find it effects other parts of my life.

Then I have a bowl of pasta, and I'm like on top of the world, I feel like I could run a marathon.

But then people tell me that its just the amount of carbs I'm taking in, and that eating too much of the stuff will make me fat.

What should I do?, I'm beginning to love the stuff, but don't want to turn into a fatty overnight.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Are you overweight now or gaining weight?

Whole wheat pasta is also a lot healthier than regular pasta. I've never tried it, so I can't tell you how it tastes though.

I'm slightly underweight, but am concious that I could put on a bit of fat without really noticing it.

It depends on the type of carbs your eating. Overeating the bad, sugar ridden carbs without burning it off will hurt you in the long run. Combining whole grain carbs with equal amounts of protein and vegetables is works well to maintain body weight.

If you are actively athletic, you can up the frequency of that you eat the protein and carbs because you building muscle and burning off the carbs as energy. Think about taking B vitamin supplements if you are lacking energy.
 

"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.
