"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.

As a smoker (not cigarettes) i have been considering quitting for a few months now. I feel like its slowing any progress i could otherwise be having. Im posting this merely to get other opinions on smoking other than my own or my friends. Please post any thoughts u have on smoking
 

"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.

Not a fan of potheads. I'm annoyed by the way they talk, they laugh, and basically the way they live. Tried pot ONE time, and it just made me very paranoid and all self conscious. A terrible experience.

Why don't you give quitting a try? You know it can't SPEED UP your progress so it can't hurt.

If you have any doubt, then its time to quit. If it doesn't work out you can just start up again.

"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.

Potheads are clowns. They're funny as hell to observe and relaxed (mainly cause they're oblivious to everything and laugh at stuff that you didn't intend to be funny).

How often do you do it? I don't think anyone should bake every day (it will definitely have a negative impact on you). I do it a max of twice a week but it probably averages once every two weeks if that. It definitely screws with my ability to socialize with new people effectively, especially if they aren't also blazed. I try to save it as an excuse to bring girls home or at the end of a party night.

I've been thinking about quitting, but I enjoy it too much. It's a way to relax and I feel that it does less damage to my body than drinking. I smoked everyday through college and maintained a 3.7. Everyone is different though. When you smoke often, you build tolerance and your brain learns to handle it differently so you seem perfectly normal to people around you, but you're actually baked. People can never tell I'm high unless I tell them.

Out of respect, I only do it after work. I never showed up to my classes baked. I did all of this afterwards when I was home and wanting to kick back and relax after a hard days work.

The way to smoke pot is if you have nothing to do that day, on a relax day... or in the end of the day a hour or two before bed. If I smoke before I need to get something done, I become completely unmotivated.

Drugs are bad.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Weed, not all but in many ways, is just like beer. The high feels like getting really drunk but better and safer, recreational use is fine, but if problems arise you probably have more issues arising to resolve rather than just cutting back the weed. There are people who say that people do drugs (probably particularly weed) to self-medicate and I can agree with that; so, if it's true you increase your self-medication, the question stands "What are you self-medicating from?"
