"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 been practicing card throwing and this ****'s actually pretty dangerous.

You could be like Bullseye from Daredevil if you practiced enough.

I actually cut someone yesterday and they were bleeding. If I threw it harder and hit somewhere else, like a jugular vein...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It's all in the wrist and getting good rotation. They will stick in styrofoam. A sheet of styrofoam insulation is an excellent target.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
thats about the dumbest thing i've heard today. Thanks for the laugh. Maybe try like magic wands and spells next time. You can be like harry potter! Or try to spin webs like spiderman!

Seriously though, i wish i could be there when you try to throw a card at some angry dude who's going to then proceed to bash your face in. After he stops laughing of course.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

teehee, unless you actually HIT open skin, a 10 gram card ain't gonna do **** all to a person.

Why not use shurikens? Be a real deadly player. Jagged or sharp edges, even a sharpened card won't do much damage.

I'd love to see it do some damage though. Like breaking into somebody's house and throwing cards at them when they're in the shower.

Never said it wasn't possible... I was saying it's next to useless.

How much movement is required to perform these moves? It's not only a flick of the wrist, there is preperation in grabbing the card first. You can hurtle them what? 30 feet with accuracy in a room with no draft?

Highly possible, but also highly improbable.
 

"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.

Accuracy, was what I was talking about, not distance... I can whip my hand fast enough to throw an edged coin across a bball court into a wall. Well I could 9 years ago, imagine what my accuracy and speed could be now.

The coin was at least 5 times heavier than the card, so I absolutely believe your claim.

It is pretty cool that you have interests though. Just don't talk about being able to hurt people with em, that is what we're laughing at.

awwwlroighty than...

Do you know the physics behind your throws? Riding on air and gaining lift from the initial downward thrust from snapping your wrist is one of the key points of flicking a card... flicking a 1/8 lb metal disk that is larger and less malleable is going to cause difficulties... Try your windup tech. with those cards.

This is one of my hobbies. Too pratice your grips and throws use hotel keys, then 2 cards stapled together, finally a singel card. Also, it helps in throwing other stuff like notebooks, novels, etc. You become very smooth around the ladies when you are putting stuff away.
