"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.

Simple but great book. Saw an ad for the movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio that's coming soon, got me thinking...

So...does this guy have one of the worst cases of oneitus.....ever?? What's the deal with this guy? Just wondering if anyone else has a thought on this. Any cases of oneitus that you've heard of that could be worse? Fiction or not.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

One example that Pook loved to quote is Dante turning Beatrice - some chick he had a crush on since she was... eight - into his salvation in Divine Comedy and a few other of his works.

Dante is a little above my pay grade at this moment, I will be tackling it sometime in the future. But not surprised the legendary Pook would reference him.

On a somewhat lower level, here's a guy I was thinking of today. According to the 80's this is how you win a girl back after she's ditched you. Do this right here.

Seems like the right thing to do.... right? She dumps you but you want to win her back, so you stand outside her window with a jukebox, playing your guys favorite song.

Worst case would have to be Link from Legend of Zelda. How many times has he rescued Princess Zelda and never got as much as a peck on the cheek?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
