"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.

Ok so my school's prom is looking pretty weak, low attendance and very few cute girls...

So I'm opting to go to this other school, A.I. for prom, this school is well-known for having lots and lots of hot girls. Right now I am pretty much guaranteed to get in, but before I drop the money on this night I want to make sure it's a good idea...

Now here are a few things to keep in mind:

I barely know anybody from this school, a few kids from my Jr. High but that's maybe 5 people

It's $85 for the ticket, not including money I'd have to spend to rent a tux, etc.

The school has a lot of hot girls, but I have no social proofing, no preselection, and no momentum as Norwegian says

I've never been to prom

So from a Don Juan standpoint, is this something worth going to? I want to make sure this is something I can have fun at and pick girls up before I drop half my money on this one night. Please give me your opinions.

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

In my opinion, school dances are just not that fun (it's the after parties that are)
I sure as hell wouldn't pay 85 bucks to go to someone elses prom.
but if you're gonna go, make the best of it and don't go in there thinking about all the things you don't have. It might turn out fun.

Sneak in some alcohol and ask some cool kids and hot chicks to share it with you outside, since proms don't supply alcohol ;) Unless they do in Norway?
 

"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.

Yea, I agree with Johnny, I don't know how they do proms where you are, but the majority of the girls at the proms around here, are already going to have a date. There may be that occasional group of girls that came as a group, but I'm not sure if I'd want to bet 85$ on that.

See if you can find out where the after parties are. That's where you have a much better chance of doing anything/having more fun. Instead of spending the $85 on a ticket, spend some on alcohol and bring it to the party, you'll definitely be let in and you'll have some instant social status.

Cheers!

How the F would we know? BTW, having no friends there, might make you appear creepy.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Go to prom with a date. Go to the afterparty without one. Going to prom dateless is a cry to be the butt of everyone's jokes. I don't know what it is in Norway, but why take chances?
