"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 was wondering who are the best posters here? The Pooks, the Anti-dumps are great but they haven't posted in a while. I guess they covered a lot. Who/what has helped you the most? Sorry if it was not the right place to post. I'm kinda new here and heard about the legendary Sosuave a while ago but never tried anything or read too much and gave up .
 

"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.

Pook and anti-dump made a great job for their times, nowadays smartphones and social media did to the dating world that industrial revolutions made to the work market back then.

The simple concept of scarcity no longer applies since 48 hours or silence and your chat disappears at the bottom of her inbox.

I think dating is also a training ground for the workplace these days. At least if you are corporate. Offices that have been dominated by woman are a popularity contest all day everyday.

Totally agree, social skills are now more important than professional skills to succeed in many work places run from women.

I noticed that too. In a sense, I run more “game” at work than outside of work.

1. Bring donuts occasionally

2. Make harmless jokes

3. Fluff talk about the weather and the next work holiday party

4. Never gossip, but usually get stuck listening to women vent about XYZ

4. Notice which female is not talking to me today (and perhaps is venting about me to another coworker that she is less pissed off at today lol)

5. Then get back to my cubicle, introvert-maxx and engineer-maxx lol.

6. Have a quiet lunch alone or with a decent male coworker
