"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.

This is another thread about materialism but it goes into a different tangent.

Some of you guys seem to be very worried about designer clothes, luxury cars, and expensive shoes.

You know what matters more than these things?

Respect for yourself.

Do what you can with what you have. You might not have the best clothes or the best car, but treat it all with Respect.

Keep what you have as clean and as immaculate as possible. Do you think a girl cares about what you have if you don't even respect yourself and you aren't a man?

A man respects himself. Discount clothing and an average car goes a long way if you present yourself well.

If ou do with what you have and most importantly show that you have the UPMOST respect for yourself I assure you that it will get you MUCH FURTHER than wearing designer clothing and having a rolex.

This doesn't mean that those things aren't nice. It just means that they don't matter as much as self respect.

Properly accentuate and do what you can with what you have. Hold yourself well, show that you hold YOURSELF in high regard. NOT these objects.

I'm sure you've all been in average cars that are kept extremely well and detailed. It gives the car a fresh, clean respectable appeal.


A miinimum amount of quality things looks better than a large amount of flashy large shiny objects. Of course, that is subjective but is generally true due to the fact that one or two expensive things in a room gives those things that much more of a rare appeal.


Stop worrying about these thing so much. They come with time, they are icing on the cake.

Remember the replica beta males out there and how they don't match up to any substance.

Remember that girls don't even care THAT much about these things hell, if they like you that much they will even defend you in every way if their friends comment on something bad about you.

If the girl is extremely superficial, then she isn't even worth it anyways. Sounds canned right? Think of it this way.... There will always be someone with more money, or a different set of things that they own. If she NEEDS to have a guy with a beamer, she will leave him for a guy with a ferrari.

These girls come and go and they are in no way shape or form worth the cleaver wound they have between their legs. That is all those girls are really worth. You can find vaginas everywhere. These girls usually have NOTHING to talk about in terms of their beliefs, things they hold themselves to or ANYTHING. They wont last 2 months.

Remember that no amount of flashy clothing, cars, and jewerly will EVER by ANY MEANS WHATSOEVER make up for self respect.
 

"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.

This is HUGE, and for the life of me I can't understand why guys here can't figure it out. Sure, it's a nice bonus to have that kind of stuff, but if a girl is writing you off because of material things than FORGET HER.

Then again, some of you guys are after the bar-star b*tches with teased blonde hair and mini-skirts. Ugh.

It's all about your setting, location, and social circle, and somewhat of the wealth that surrounds you.

If all of my friends, own their own businesses or work at high paying tech jobs, and hang out with upper class. Then i'm used to the wealth, luxury, up-scale clothing, and cars.

Unless you in a small town rocking D&G, there's really no need to argue what people are spending their money on.
 

"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.

Thank you, my goal is to give back to the forums that helped me selflessly, and to remind the up and coming juans that you WILL get there.

We've ALL been there, I remember when I was a young nooblet on this board and I was so very confused.

Exactly!

They are good for one thing, sex.

Be that as it may, many other girls can offer sex and the ones that are surounded by one obsession aren't worth it. They will leave their current guy for someone that has more. They are on a mission for a certain status.

A status that in the end doesn't equate to anything. Fed only by the group that follows.

Follower? or Leader. Your choice.
