"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 my second year at the university and Im studying computer science. But the thing is that im dedicating probably all of my time to study and nothing more. No gf, no friends at all, no activities, no entertainment, no social life, doing nothing on weekends. The problem is that Im missing good oportunities to meet new people because I just don't do anything more than study and any conversation is very boring talking about classes or something like that. I really like programming and computers but right now maybe that passion is ruining my life. I live with my parents and no car so thats a problem too. Im thinking right now that maybe Im wasting this years yeah you get your degree but is it worth it. Any one with the same problem, comments or suggestions?
 

"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.

Dude, I had this problem in grade 10. I basically sacrificed all my time to studies and neglected other aspects of my life. My advicee: Don't Do it!!! It's suicide!!!

Trust me on this one. Your school grades will suffer due to depression. You will lose your networking skills and finding jobs will be harder. You will lose conversation skills, and they value that in the work force. Etc... Just don't do it. Learn from my mistake. Try to balance your life around.

My bed, your girl.
people who like computers usually end up with computer friends over the internet... these are real people but are they real in YOUR life? They're not, they're nothing but I guess a hobby of instant messenging..
You need to go out there and meet some cool college people and hang around. Be yourself and show some interest in learning about who they are.
Always keep the goal in mind because you can do this!!

dude.. ur career is important... make no mistake about it... keep it ahead of everything.

For your social aspect , you could possibly go out to the cafeteria or other places, take part in local extra currics, play a sport occasionally...

you can do it .. no worries...
 

"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.
