"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.

How many of y'all ACTUALLY wash your hands before eating when dining out? I do 100% of the time. If you're out on a date and she doesn't wash their hands before eating, does she lose points?
 

"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.

If it's something I'm going to touch with my hands, 100%. If it's going to be purely silverware, eh 50%. To be honest, I don't even pay attention whether women wash their hands or not.

I think most people don't even bother washing their hands before they eat.

Somebody can have a cold or flu touching the menus and the door handles of the restaurant. I always like clean hands before I eat.

My GF washes her hands or uses hand sanitizer when dining so it isn't a problem.

I've been on dates where girls didn't even bother. After I made a comment they went to wash them.

Today I was at a lunch meeting and some guy finished taking a $hit and walked right out of the restroom stall without washing his hands. He was ordering his food touching his menu when I got back to my table. Somebody might eat with their fingers touching that menu not washing their hands.

Sounds like you don't have very many dates if you are that unobservant.

Women aren't supposed to touch the paintings at the art gallery.

That won't be a problem for you when you take them out for appetizers at a fancy restaurant afterwards for impression.

I would guess that a lot of people get sick because they washed their hands...then touched the faucet, towel dispenser, and door handle on the way out of the bathroom.

"I wash my GF, Rosy Palm, when dining, so it isn't a problem."

Fixed.

That "coffee dates suck" comment I posted, what, a month ago? still chapping your ass I see.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don't wash my hands before eating. You ever use the bathroom and don't wash your hands because your lazy, and then get into a position where you have to shake some ones hand? I have several times. As I'm shaking their hand I think to myself "Man if they knew, they wouldn't be shaking my hand" but they don't know, so no one gets hurt.
