"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.

This game would be for fairly competent/good players who know angles and english.
Can be played by two players.

I thought of a good way to test out clearing tables by yourself.

Throw out all the balls randomly. Set up your white ball behind the break line and shoot properly. Rules apply as per 8-Ball, with the following exceptions.
- You fail to sink a ball.
----> Pull one of your balls out of the pockets and throw it back on the table.

- You sink a uncalled shot.
----> Pass turn.

- You fail to legally hit your own ball first.
----> Pull one of your balls out of the pockets and throw it back on the table.
----> Ball in hand to other colour.

- You scratch or shoot the white ball off the table.
----> Pull two of your balls out of the pockets and throw them back on the table.
----> White ball is to be behind the break line shooting up table.

- You illegally sink the eight ball (by foul, uncalled shot, scratch, etc)
----> All of your coloured balls are thrown back onto the table.
----> Ball in hand to alternate colour.

I have very good accuracy (in terms of eyeballing the angles), but if you're like me and have spots of sloppyness, or you tend to scratch, it is very hard to clear the table of either colour. Having no/snooker shots are common and costs a ball.

I went two and a half hours without being able to clear the damn table (I CAME CLOSE!!), until I got booted out of the place I was at.

Try it.
 

"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.

To update. I think that rally helped. I bought a $100 cue today, and I tested it out at a local place with a table.

I won 7 games in a row, lost 0. The fourth? game was a scratch on a bad angle bank shot that he wasn't going to get in anyways, the fifth was a 8ball gutter with balls left still and the last game by default (scratch on the 8ball sink)

Impressive I thinks, got compliments that I'm pretty good at pool, but when you can run 4 balls and win late game, it's good. It's all about angles, some ball control and taking your time with complete focus :D. I still consider that last game a loss, because I only won by default, but still, a great pool night for me, and I have a new toy cue to play with.

"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.

Oh, you want runs :)

Set yourself up a game like what I posted above and just play. Study where you aimmed and where the balls ended up. The point of throwing balls back onto the table is to encourage runs and a bit of ball control. I spent 2 and a half hours on one game, and the next day I ran those 7 straight games.

It's about practice and figuring out how your shot makes your ball go into the pocket you decide. :D

But, if you want to be quick about it (lol), Most longer angle shots, there's the ideal angle you'd hit it at, and then since I'm a harder player, I weaken my angle. I'll post a image as to what I mean.

Undercut.

It's just adjusting to my style of play. If you got a sharp angle, I strengthen it, or just clip it really.

Overcut.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Anyone who talks up their game that much can't have much to back it up...

For the living hell of it, I guess that assumes that Style doesn't have game, MM didn't have game at all, hell, let's go as far to say any 'professional' game player that speaks a word of how to play, or a certain way to do something, fvck, he's got no game.

If you want to insult someone, you got to do it properly. The way you insulted, doesn't work because I can turn it right back on you. You call me on having no game, I call you on having no game as well. All someone has to do is run a search, and OMG, you talk about something relating to the game. Damn! I guess if I got no game, you ain't no different at face value.



Onwards, I'm been told my cue looks very pretty, and it's performing to spec. I've been asked if I'm pro, or if I play tourny. It's kinda a little too much to ask that, I don't consider myself pro, I may be good, but there's a equal. Anyways, the first game I played against him, it was a pretty close 2 ball finish. The second game was a bit better, 4 balls of his still lied on the table, and I proceeded to sink them.

I should consider a tourny, to see exactly where I stand up, and so I can examine different styles of play. mmmm.

Still want to go with that 'no game' argument there A? Go nuts, I got your back.
