"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.

First of all. This is me rambling late at nite....

So, it has been a while since my ex and I broke up. During the time when we were together, I went from unknowing DJ to AFC. During my time as AFC, she started losing interest and was talking to another guy, who she admitted to me, made out with when she was "drunk". She told me it was because she was drunk, yadi yadi ya, and me being the AFC, swallowed up all that BS. Things were still on the ropes for a long time, mostly because she couldn't figure out wtf she wanted out of our relationship and all that BS. After a while, I/we were fed up with it and I broke it off with her.

Anyways, I know that it was my fault that she lost interested. I know that I AFC'd. But that's all in the past and I've moved on.

Interesting story tonight....I ran into the guy that she made out with while we were together. I didnt recognize him at first, but recognized him after one of my buddies, who knows him was saying wassup to him and said his name.

Like the title says.... I walked up to him and slapped him. Afterwords, I simply said, "thats what you get". He actually took it very pleasantly and agreed (maybe I should have b!tch slapped him) . I was very surprised. Maybe it was my demeanor, radiating the "dont fVck with me" attitude, but i was very chill and in control of the situation. After he agreed that thats "what he deserved" and apologized, I actually thanked him for doing what he did. Because the b!tch would have cheated on me with any guy; if not him, then any other guy. The situation actually opened my eyes, and I have learned and grown so much since then (many thanks to this site). But I can truly say that I am happier than I've been in a long time.

I am not usually a very confronting/aggressive/violent person. If I was, I would have knocked his ass out. But needless to say, even tho the root of the problem boils down to me.... it felt very liberating to slap his ass. I knew that I would run into him one way or the other and was always curious to know what I would do. To me, this sort of symbolizes me going back into my DJ ways, taking a stand for myself and now, leaving that sh!t in the past.

I've been ready to move on and grow, and this was just another step towards my goal.

Enough rambling....

"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.

You are a girl.

Yes you should be surprised. If you would have touched me or anyone else, you would have been crushed.

If you slapped him, you are not owning it. She cheated on you because YOU reverted back to AFC form. He just happened to get action because YOU caused her to lose respect for you.

OWN it.

the slap was pretty pointless really!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

LOL. Lucky you. Slapping a man is a serious insult and you are lucky you didn't get pounded into the pavement. He must be a bigger girl than you are. Where I'm from a slap is a worse disrespect than a punch. If you slapped me I have to beat your ass on principle, a slap says, your a ***** who doesn't deserve a punch. I would have tried to break your face. Lucky you.

I agree with Warrior 74- I've had drunk friends hit me and I didn't beat them into the ground. BUT I did ask them the next day if they wanted to continue what they started last night-NONE ever did. BUT a stranger? I may only hit you once,but I hope you like breathing the next 6 weeks with broken ribs.

you slapped him? Do you feel like you got back your non-existent balls now? That feel better?

I feel sorry for your ex. For having the bad luck of ever being your GF
 

"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.

I already understood and acknowledged this in the post.

Some b*tch cheated on you and you blamed the guy? You weren't in a relationship with the guy, don't take it out on him.
I understand this as well. But I couldn't have him walking around town thinking that it was ok for him to hit on the girl that I was with, or any girl in the future. Believe me, this will never happen again in the future. Not because I slapped him, but because I know better to be AFC in a relationship.

This was my intention. I was fully prepared to throw down with him if he wanted to, although my initial intention was to insult him and make a statement.

You're a prize AFC.

Like Kerpal said, it's not this guy's fault your girl's a slut. Man up, don't go around slapping people like a girl, and chalk it up to life experience.
