"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.

Perhaps we need a Council of Elders

The problems would be, who should we put up there? How would we decide it? I'm sure everyone would have a different opinion after the first 3 or 4 obvious choices. Then another problem would be, the most obvious choices, i.e. Pook.... they don't post anymore.

Maybe if we asked really really nice we could get Mystery to register here and he could be the alph/omega leader of the council. :rolleyes: :cheer:

Yet another issue: Once this so called council was created, the members would be prime targets for trolls and people who just disagree with everything. They'd challenge anything the council says, and constantly bash them.

When a council member speaks, he will not be able to be challenged by non-council members. Only another member of the council could raise a counter point.

The whole point is to have a group of people who would be the final word on any issue, right? Don't we have the DJ Bible for that?

Yes, but life is always evolving. The bible, sacred as it is, is a dead text, much like the real bible.

This is why Jedi dont have a bible. They live in the moment, and they have a wise council to advise on current issues.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Ha! You only think you are. I'm going to out-dork you by pointing out it was actually Lord of the Flies.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

LOL yeah, enough with the star wars jokes. Eh, I think we are just fine without a council. If you want advice from a particular person that still posts, just pm them.

Yes, I get pm'd with questions. The answers I give there I take more seriously.

All great societies need a council to debate and decide on important matters.

I knew what it was as soon as I read it.

Unfortunately...

"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.
