"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'm by no means some sort of guru. I do fine picking up the ladies, but James Bond I am not. Like everybody else here, I am trying to improve every day and eventually perfect my mackin' skills. Something I noticed though, is a lot of guys say they approaching with confidence and are still not having a lot of success. I thought I would share a thought that could be the missing piece of the puzzle for a lot of men.

I believe that an equally important, and in fact congruent quality to confidence is STATUS. You can walk around like your a king and hit on women all day, but if you are nowhere in life and more importantly aren't doing anything to go somewhere the best thing you can hope for is a few one night stands. Maybe thats all you want, and if so, more power to you. However, one of the first things I learned about being a DJ is that it is all about YOU and YOUR being happy.

I'm not going to be happy working at a blue collar level for the rest of my life. I do admire the working class hero, and that some people can be content putting in their 8 hours 5 days a week. It's not me though. Have dreams, and shoot for them. If there is one thing a woman respects, it's a man with drive -- The will to be the best. She can forgive it if he is not the best, what is important is his AMBITION and that he is making steps towards making himself better than he was yesterday.

Goals should not be something you do for women though. Neigh, a MAN wants to be the best for HIMSELF, and if the ladies want to be carried around on the ride to the top of the world, even if just for a few nights, then that man can accommodate. But only if the woman does not block his hustle.

You do not have to advertise your status and ambition. Women can almost smell it. A man who knows where he is going in life and how he is going to get there. They may ask you about it, and it is up to you to share it with them.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

My female manager at my job said that she can tell how powerful a man is by the way he walks and talks. She also said she can feel from a distance how much status and inner confidence a man because she can sense it. She said she can explain it, it is just something that goes off in her radar.
