"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.

I've never had a girlfriend or sex, and it really pisses me off to see couples when I'm out and about. Whenever I see it, I can feel myself getting irritated. It's gotten to the point that I don't even like going out because I know I'm going to see it everywhere. I pretty much avoid movie theaters and other places where I have a greater chance of seeing people together.

I know this is not a very good way to think about the situation, but I just can't seem to turn it around. I've tried to not let it bother me, but it just doesn't work. It seems like the only thing that's going to make it go away is to get a girlfriend or some sex, but it's probably going to be awhile before that happens.

The thing that really gets me is that I actually have a lot of good traits. I'm better looking than most of these guys. I'm probably the most honest person you'll ever meet. I'm easy to get along with. I'm intelligent. You would think I'd have to beat the girls off with a stick.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

1) Don't end up like Luke. Go read the DJB and start there. There's more than enough to get you started.

2) You have to be willing to change everything about yourself that requires changing and go through a mile of sh!t to come out clean on the other side.

3) That's nice that you have good traits. Let me tell you something. Honesty means jack sh!t. Intelligence means jack sh!t. There are tons of honest, intelligent people out there who end up like this guy: http://www.willworkforawife.org. Now if you look good (and you're not just saying that to make yourself feel better, but you truly have a nice face and hit the gym enough to have a solid physique), then something is missing cause you would have had sex by now.

4) Gfs aren't all that, believe me. Dating sure is fun though if you approach it with the proper mindset. Don't make "getting a gf" a goal. You'll fail miserably.

envy will kill ya, it starts with couples, then its new cars, new houses, more money, better looks. be happy for people and you will be rewarded, envy people and you will end up bitter, angry, and very, very unhappy. what comes around goes around, in other words, be happy for people and you will be rewarded, envy people and it will always be rubbed in your face. what you are talking about is a lot larger than having a G/F. you better address it now before it consumes you!

I dont think I have the same mindset as you but I actually enjoy watching couples. I mean before and this is the honest truth, before I start to game I (cuz might be with me) I would go and eat at the mall food court (Really good mexican shop there) and just watch the couples around me and wonder what they are doing today, if they fought, what they fight about and what kind of ambitions they have. I dont think I'm a creep but I wonder about these things and wonder if I will ever be in the same predicament as some of these couples, I dont mean it in a bad way just wonder about the future.
On to the topic at hand, I dont think you should hate them because they have each other because like some people above me said there is no real point in being mad at such a trivial thing. I think you should start going to these places more often and start gaming on women there because they are always at these places, who knows maybe someday some guy will see you with a cute girl and hate YOU because you have someone!

Most couples are unhappy.

Most couples wish they could be with someone else.

Know this, and remember.

This isn't good, this isn't bad.

Get over it. Really.

"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.

I didn't say "always." I said "most."

Be in a "couple" for a few years, then come back and lemme know what you think.

Have you been in a LTR, yet?

I hate couples. I just do. My situation is very similar to knglerxt's. Yes it is all about jealousy.

While I have thought about becoming a sniper that takes out every couple in the vicinity, I decided it would be a better idea to improve myself so that I can be part of a couple.

I don't get why people get jealous when others do well...Personally, I like seeing a guy with a hot girl, or if I see a couple who are very affectionate, and seem to be very into each other. I like seeing others happy.

Me and my gf are a very affectionate when we're out...no we don't play tonsil hockey every chance we get, but we do always hold hands and touch, etc. haha, i guess I never thought we could make others sick just becuase we're so into each other like that!

No no I havent, what is the basis as to why most couples are so depressed about each other? They seem to be happy when they are together, are there any signs as to when they are falling apart?

I hope the guys just kidding about being a sniper, talk like that wigs me out. too many freaks already I guess.

The only thing that matters to most women is if you're fun, assertive, and you make them feel a certain way that they like. If I could get my people skills up to par, I'd be unstoppable. I've been lucky in that I'm not much of a conversationalist but I'm always told that I'm mysterious and it drives women crazy.

And for God's sake, get off your computer. Sitting around all day and never going out and circulating people will turn you into a social retard. I'm pretty much living proof of that.

It doesn't bother you to see other couples because you have a girlfriend. Go without a woman for about 10 years, and then see if your outlook doesn't change. If I had a girlfriend, of course it wouldn't bother me either.

I haven't always been envious of guys with girlfriends. Before a couple years ago, it didn't bother me. It didn't start bothering me until I got to the point where I wanted to start meeting women and getting a girlfriend and couldn't do it. Of course, this caused me to get sexually frustrated, and then I started becoming envious.

This is the only thing I'm envious about, too. I couldn't care less if people have a better car, house, more money than me. I don't give a damn about that.

Where am I supposed to go? I don't like bars and clubs. I'm not religious, so church is out of the question. I don't have any friends that can introduce me to girls. My family members don't know any people my age to introduce me to. The only way I could meet a girl would be to just walk up to them out of blue in stores and on the street. But I'm not to the point where I can do that. So, how is a guy in my position supposed to meet women?

Follow what he said and ignore everyone else said ( will I ever read something from Aliasguy that I would agree?). Read the bible and go on a path of self-improvement (not change, change have a connotation he that need to bend himself and be fake, that not DJ either). There is a place for honesty and intelligence but don't exepect that it is key to getting a girl. Never make getting a girl a goal, it is a serendipity. You find one along the way and not the end result.

Well, up until 2 years ago I was quite happy being alone all the time. But of course as you can imagine that gets old after awhile. I have a sex drive just like every other guy. You get tired of never having a woman.

For the last 2 years, I've been dealing with depression over this very thing. I think most guys would be depressed if they had to go this long without a woman.

It's not really that I can't talk to women. I can talk to anyone if I'm around them long enough. My main problem is getting in a position where I'm around a girl long enough for something to happen. Everytime I see a girl I'm attracted to she's a total stranger, and I'm not really in a position to talk to her. I'd have to just walk up to her right out of the blue. So far I just haven't been able to get myself to do that. So I'm kind of stuck.

sry, but that's just a bunch of excuses.

Rhetorical question...

If you always run away from your fears will they vanish or get worse?
