"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.

So apparently using online communication is taboo?

I invited a friend to an event through an online message (facebook, if it matters) because I lost her number and I don't see her much during the day. All my friends are giving me sh!t tho, saying it will be seen as an act of cowardice and she will be turned off. They've gone as far as to say I should find the number/find her, tell her the message was a prank by a roommate, and ask directly. Is any of this warranted, or are they just being tools?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Did you at least ask for her to give you her number again?

2. Facebook
3. Friendster
4. Match.com
5. Adult Personal Ads
6. Whatever else is out there...

As a means to meet women ARE pathetic... IMHO


Meet women like most normal men, go to a bar and sarge drunk chicks :rockon:

Totally agree other than sarging on drunk chicks.. I prefer a challenge, not a one sided victory. There are some that will swear to myspace or online resources because it's easy and doesn't require you to confront someone. It's only delaying the inevitable. If you want quality girls and you want to make yourself look like a quality guy, then approach women in real life. Besides, why are you thinking so much about this girl? If you're putting your mind to one girl for an extended period of time, it's obviously not going to work.

"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.

Yea, I guess I'm getting kinda one-itis, but it'll pass in like a few minutes.

By the way, I'm not using it to meet people. I already know this person, I'm just using it as a means of communication.

Two months ago I would have said the same thing as coder but my younger brother found a HB on myspace and they're dating pretty seriously now. She's cute too.

BUT he was on myspace for awhile trying to get girls with no luck. Took a break. Came back on with pics from his surfing adventure and got a ton of responses when he messaged with some silly "diver looking for deep sea aquatic love."
