"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.

As I haul multiple shopping bags from my boot, while my toddler skitters between parked cars, my neighbour nods hello from his back porch, while ashing his cigarette.

Each week – despite knowing that I am a solo mother by choice with a donor-conceived son and no partner at home – my neighbour watches me teeter inside, a leaning tower of motherhood with hefty bags and a yelling child attached to my shins. I smile brightly and say hello, but my mind is a static of expletives: why doesn’t he offer to f------ help?!
my opinion: You want a man to help? Give him access to the Golden Vajaya, preferrably when you want to get pregnant. :rolleyes:
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The level of entitlement is through the roof but that's modern wymynz for ya. They think that other people exist solely for their convenience. It hasn't even occurred to her that the guy would rather enjoy a cigarette on his back porch than deal with her groceries and screaming "donor-conceived" child. If you want him to offer help, maybe try doing something neighbourly yourself first, like bake him a cake or offer to come clean his house. I bet that would work better than writing an indignant article on the internet.

If this were a town square, a hundred years ago, my neighbour would no doubt get off his arse and help carry my bags or watch my child while I do the return trip to get the second load. But parenting and all its attendant domestic minutia has become increasingly atomised.
If this was a town square a hundred years ago, she would be mercilessly shamed for having a child out of wedlock. Go back another couple of hundred years and she would have been tarred and feathered or maybe even stoned to death. So yeah, maybe don't pine for the "good old days".

If he did offer to help with the groceries, she’d probably complain about him smoking in the house.
