"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.

Ever been out in public somewhere (bookstore, mall, bar, etc.), spotted an attractive woman, approached/ opened successfully, and then minutes later her male friend/ boyfriend shows up?
 

"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.

But yourself on the bf's shoes (if you had a relationship before or when you had a relationship on your AFC/beta days, etc....). He's going to feel jealous or threatened if his girl is flirting and enjoying herself with another guy especially if he's insecure about her or has jealousy issues. Maybe she enjoyed the interaction too much that it felt like emotional infidelity to the sensitive bf. You don't know how much money or time he invested on her to see it all evaporate as she falls in love with a stranger in the middle of nowhere...so in a state of panic he came towards both of you.

If this happens to me then I chum up with the bf and talk with him too. Maybe he's a loner and needs to talk anyway. If you keep the mind-set that you are talking to people and are having a great time socializing then you wouldn't care who comes up. The fact you are out there talking to people is great since you just never know where it may go and not everyone obviously will have a bf.

As long as she enjoyed the interaction to the point a bf felt threatened by it then it's a successful flirt and should be a stroke to the ego you riled someone up, lol! Was she a hb 7+? Then double stroke to the ego!

That's a good point Corrector; having the proper mind-set is key. I totally get the reason why a boyfriend with interrupt. I guess I just get frustrated when I'm having a great interaction with a woman, and someone comes along and interferes/blocks.

Well, hopefully you'll feel sorry for the bf and have an ego-boost rather than get frustrated after I gave an explanation like that, lol!

i've had a similar situation happen, i'll make a detailed post about in my gym girls thread.
 

"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.

This is why you need that friendly "buffer" before you lay your number grab. If the BF shows up, you continue, unphased, even talk to him to for a minute, say thank you, or just bye, and you split. If she were single you number grab. If not, you're just a curious, friendly dude strikin up a clean convo.
