"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.

She called me in the middle of the night.

... and I like my sleep.

Riddle me this: how do you guys deal with girls that just won't let you have some peace? But you don't want to get rid of 'em either? :p

First thing she says: I couldn't sleep. :-/ Is it okey to respond with something like: "So you don't want others to sleep either?"
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

why would you even pick up the phone? Better yet, why don't you turn it off and let her tell it to the machine?

someone should create a method for cell phones so that the ring part would automatically go to silent at 12:00 am or whenever set time.

"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.

Always answer the question,

"Did I wake you up?"

with, "I can't really talk right now."

It gets 'em thinking.

:crackup: OMG I so have to use that one some day :crackup:

BTW I always leave my cell downstairs when I go to sleep, it's never in my bedroom during the night. And just like Lost In Translation said, I'll answer any voicemails in the morning after the emergency is all gone :D
However there were some fun calls I got late at night like when my buddy got stuck 4wheeling in this one field at night and called for me to come winch him out before the cops spotted him :D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I always, always, answer my phone. I have to; I do business on other countries' timetables.

I made it very clear to my crew that if they call me after midnight and there's not a dead body involved, there will be one before I'm through. Because of this, I know that a late-night call from a friend is going to be worth answering.
