"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.

"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.

Since we all agree that paternity tests should be administered, I'd like to know what the most graceful way - and moment - is to broach the subject. Keep in mind if you say that you want to get one, you are saying "I don't trust that I'm the only penis who was in your vagina 9 mos. ago." While it's sensible perhaps to THINK these things, how do you say them without sounding like an insecure idiot?

And when? Early on in a marriage? At the moment of birth? How much time is there between the actual birth and the signing of the certificate to do it secretly? I really know very little about this subject.
Well, I was speaking of unwanted pregnancies in particular. If you've been trying to conceive, I think that asking for a paternity test would severely compromise your marriage and paint you as an insecure lunatic, as you mentioned.

I'd wager you could have it done in the hours after birth while the mother is in recovery. However, I wouldn't be surprised if hospitals won't do paternity tests without the mother's consent. Some states even require a wife's consent for the husband to have a vasectomy! (but of course they don't require the husband's consent for the woman to have her tubes tied)
