"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.

Relationships with women; worth it?

Are relationships worth it?

I commonly go to parties, see my best friend's girlfriends there. They'll be talking with other guys, which is fine. Except they'll be laying on some secluded bed in the far room of the house, cuddling, sometimes even making out. Not with their boyfriends of course, but some guy at the party. Commonly a good friend of the boyfriend.

Where is the honor and respect now days? I'm starting to think it's not even worth it to be in a relationship (I've been in one for over a year now) and maybe it's time to just go start nailing some sluts and not dating them.

Your thoughts?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Being in a relationship with the right woman is definitely worth it.

I understand the whole "slut"/"AW"/"non-slut" GF debacle, but alot of these girls were the ones who've only had sex with one guy, dress non-slutty, are in National Honor Society. These arn't the girls who I expected to do this ****! How can I trust any woman period after seeing this stuff repeatedly?

A suggest adjusting your qualification criteria.

How does a man know his woman is "right"? I cannot watch her night and day, nor do I care to. I have better things to do with my time.

But what am I supposed to believe? That my friends have girlfriends that do it, but mine doesn't?
 

"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.

No you shouldn't have to. But if worried that you'll need to with a particular woman do you really need to ask yourself if she's the right one? Now, if you feel that you need to ask yourself if you feel worried about that type of thing with all women, perhaps there's a need to look at yourself.

Your partner could be thinking the same thing as you. She could think its not worth it either.

Relationships (being her boyfriend or husband) no longer guaranty commitment and dedication from your woman, all it means is you are more financially and emotionally responsible for her than all other dudes she is F'ing..
