"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.

I love the DJ Bible.

But just like any bible, you can't really read it through entirely, and remember it all. Most people like to go back, and some people even like to keep a mini travel bible.

Would it be possible to make a text-only, miniaturized DJ Bible for mobile devices like AvantGo for PDAs?

"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.

I'm sure that if you like an article enough, you already have both the necessary skills and tools to cut and paste the text into a word processor and save it to your device... :rolleyes:

Excellent idea - although I don't think I have the time for converting each article into the right format. I can program for the Pocket PC and Windows CE as of recent, but it would take a while to put together everything.

If someone is willing to convert every article's first post in the DJB into text format, with each filename being xxxxx.txt (xxxxx = article number, look at the address bar for the number after threadid), then I will make a viewer. It'll only take me a few hours to do that, which I can spare.

I use a Palm, so PocketPC won't work.

I was thinking more along the lines of a bunch of simply formatted HTML documents, that you can load using whatever programs you have.

While were at it, why not correct the grammar and spelling mistakes in the posts? Also, you should add the good replies which give more advice, and remove the 'great post you da man' crap.
 

"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.
