"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.

Telling a story IS giving advice

A good story will give advice to your thoughts. It will guide your mind from one dream, to another, sometimes, just by talking a little bit slower.

Some days, the stories you can tell are totally random, but you can get people involved very easily.

Other days, it seems like everybody is pissed off.

What is with storytelling? I can't tell stories worth **** if I actually focus on the subject.

Like women, I used to be good, when I didn't care, but the moment I used to show interest I would be shot down. These days, after learning more, and practicing smart, I have no problems at all with women, seriously, not a single one. Other areas of my life call for action though.

Story telling...

Does anybody tell stories?

Are there routines when you tell a story:p

Are there little ruses that you play that get people more interested?
 

"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.

Really?

So telling a ghost story, without any of the dramatic pauses fvcks up the story instead of adding to it?

I think I missed your point Fransisco:(
