"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.

Im heading to Gran Canaria this June (25th) and want a cool new look for the holidays - I wanna stand out/peacock a bit over there as I never seem to do it here!

I was thinking about this look:

- Short Sleeved Shirt (unbuttoned all the way)

- Underneath an unusual type of cool tee shirt (Mr T./cartoon character/slogan...)

- Skinny Tie loosely tied around my neck!

- Baggy Jeans

- Cool casual shoe-runners!

What you guys think?

The PUA '26' wears the look Im talking about...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Try to find a more up-to-date look. Skinny ties are still cool, but shirts unbuttoned over T-shirts haven't been cool since "Malcolm in the Middle". Get tighter jeans, too. If you'll be going to clubs, get some smarter shoes than trainers, preferably something shiny/sparkly. Good luck!

I don't know if this would be considered pea-****ing, but the other day I tried out a new look and it got a pretty good response. I put on a casual sweater with a dress shirt underneath. I let the collar of the dress shirt stick out of the sweater. I put on a necklace and let it rest above the sweatshirt and underneath the collar. I also wore a hat (because my hair was messed up and I didn't feel like doing anything with it). It got a good response.

mate, get yourself a cool hat.

You'll probably be one of the only people wearing one, and stand out straight away.
 

"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.

Thanks guys

To tell the truth, I dont wanna look like a rocker, and I really hate skinny jeans.

I suppose what I was trying to say is: Whats your take on the skinny ties? I think they look kinda cool.

And to the poster that suggested a hat, youre damn right man, what type of cap would ya recommend?
 

"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.

It depends what suits you mate, and what your style is.

I look good in peaked beanies, but theyre kind of rinsed now, I still picked up 1 in LA last week though because it was quite differen't that others people are wearing. But As rinsed as they are, girls still love you in them, girls are quite fickle and seem to just be into an image, and you notice the difference in some places when you wear one and when your not...

I'm quite into knitted beanies, no one seems to wear them nwo theyre all wearing peaked beanies. Gonna try and get hold of some original ones.


A good thign about wearing a hat, is it gives girls a reason to approach you i.e 'i like your hat blah blah' and your in there.

Hats are cool if you look good in them (I don't), but in my mind they take away one of the best ways to demonstrate value: a cool hairstyle. A cool hairstyle says a lot more about you than a cool hat, but NQT is right that they give girls an excuse to come talk to you.
