"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.

Since moving out of my house, I'm living with three other guys. I've known two of them for about 6 years and one for only a few months.

I moved in while two of the roommates were in Iraq and they've since come back. I was never supposed to stay here, but it just has sort of worked out like that. I pay rent and do chores and all, so it's really just a matter of convenience for everyone involved.

I get along great with the two I've known for years, but the guy I've only just met and I really f ucking hate each other.

He made me give him my key last night (he was made because he didn't know I had one, "someone took his", he'd never made a copy of his, and the door was locked yesterday while no one was home). And I was on the phone taking a message from someone when he busts in and starts barking at me.

He asks me who's on the phone and I tell him to hold on a minute. He tells me that if I ever talk to him like that again, he'll throw me out.

So... how the f uck am I supposed to live with this ass hole?

I'd love some advice.
 

"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.

Get hold of a Chainsaw and when he's sleeping at night, enter his room and start it up and slowly walk toward him.. [I may be joking about this, I certainly don't condone it]

There's not a lot you can do since you're not supposed to be there. Either try to have a proper talk with the guy and explain your circumstances to him to try and get him on-side or failing that make him think you're a total psycho who he shouldn't mess with.

Seems like the cvnt was waiting for an oppurtunity to have a pop at you! Move out! Or get him to move out - either way something has to give...

First, bring this up with the other two roomates, then all of you guys arrange a talk with teh 3rd dude. Let him know that the way he acted with unacceptable, and have your friends back you up. If you're friends don't back you up. . ..get outta there.

Yeah there is no use doing nething prematurely. As my friends above adviced u, first speak wid the other 2 guys abt this and then over a cup of coffee u all (include him too) can talk abt it like matured individuals . but also make sure u do this casually and dont show any signs of aggression.

u never know this **** is probably looking for a reason to start a fight wid u or he is just like tht.
Best of luck. if it doesnt work out u can always move out or show tht **** the door.
 

"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.

Buy an AK47, Dress up like a muslim extremist, tape some wires to your chest, and barge in screaming while he's asleep. Scare his ass to death.

You said he was in Iraq right?

"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.

"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.

The fact that the dude was in Iraq could explain his attitude, depending on what he has seen and experienced while there.
