"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.

IMO Ayn Rand is THE biggest DJ ever. She is a Russian author who moved to America and wrote Atlas Shrugged as well as The Fountainhead. After reading the Fountainhead my entire perspective of life is slowly changing. And just a recommendation, before you read any more self improvement books read this. It is crazy, it says the things that we've all subconsciously been thinking but can't express.
 

"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.

I've tried several times to read Atlas Shrugged but Rand has such terrible technical writing ability I struggle with it. It is a pity she didn't write it in her native Russian and have it translated.

Of everything else she was, she was very honest about what women want.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I'm really liking The Fountainhead. Roark reminds me of my buddy, who is just out of architecture school, moved to the city, and is uncompromising regarding his work. I like Roark's character.

I'm still not sold on Rand's style of writing yet. However, discovering that she is writing in English as a second language explains a lot.

Several people in the forum who have read The Fountainhead believe that Roark is an actual DJ. Without giving the story away, he does a few very big AFC things which was actually detrimental to his livelihood. Just because a man stands for his convictions, there are times when doing what works is can give you a better outcome than doing what you believe is right.

Atlas Shrugged actually has several characters than more closely embody the forum's idea of what a DJ should be. Qualities such as leadership, camaraderie, focus, foresight, c/f, ingenuity, confidence, intelligence and appreciation to name just a few. Being a DJ is more than just not taking any sh1t, it's about being able to do something about it which doesn't detract from your own livelihood.
