"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.

Just wanted to thank all of the contributors to making this site. I recently came here because I had the wrong idea about how to express my affections for women. I just was not checking my emotion and was letting them run wild on purpose. I wanted to let the raw emotion of love control my actions and live my life governed by what I was feeling at the moment. I felt I was being true to myself and those around me. I just wanted to experience the visceral emotions of love in my life unchecked. And coming here made me understand that this is wrong. A man needs to control his emotions and not let his emotions control him. I am now thinking with my mind first and my heart second. And this is making me happy, and proud of myself. Honestly I was feeling a bit childish before. So Thank You! this is a great site for men. Dating can be tricky and it's very easy to make mistakes that may cost you a potential life changing relationship.
 

"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.

Most, if not all, problems in a man's life are caused by not keeping his emotions in check.

It's very tempting to live a life ruled by your feelings and what feels good. But that is a one-way ticket to complete self-destruction. It will destroy your health, career/business, financial situation, relationships, family, etc.

I cant agree more Mike, I was allowing this to happen in my relationships because I thought that is what it was all about. But recently I have been dating someone who really has no control over her emotions and that sent me flying all over the place. I just had the frame of mind that to allow myself to feel all of these things was "living life". Well I still "live life" just a bit more composed and much happier.
