"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.

Recently i've started chatting with a few VERY beautiful girls..and the more i realized how great they looked, the more i started feeling like i am falling into this trap of "She looks amazing, how hard will it be to get with her.. how good are my chances comparing to her standards?" This hits you fast and leaves you less secure and confident... so gentelman, and this is a big reminder to all of you, as well as to myself..


Do not let woman's looks affect you

Do not let her looks affect the way you treat her:

If she is a model, great, treat her like a girl.
If she is a stripper, great, treat her like a girl.
If she is an ugly hag, great, treat her like a girl.



Do not be a jerk to ugly girls and dont be a push over to great girls.. keep it the same, and you will not fall into this trap of insecurity.
 

"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.

So true

And the flip side is they tend to be attracted to you when you do treat them like any other girl.

I was never really one to give hot girls compliments upon just SEEING them..... I think i actually despised them more growing up cus they had so much more than i could evr have just cus they were so beautiful.....but now i know how to deal without being a belligerent bastard.

It's all about controlling emotions man, it's weird cus that use to be one of my least concerns even though it was one of my biggest problems

The key is to realize that balance is EVERYTHING.

This is a great point and I'm getting better at this as time goes by. I hope I never stop getting better at this actually.

If you're afraid of girls then you're giving off weak signals. Pretty obvious really.

Wimpiness is poison. Be less wimpy lol.

When I am with a 9 to 10 and I start feeling that feeling, I picture her with about 100 lbs added on, scraggly unwashed hair, poor complexion and it all goes away. I even giggle after I think that and the girl usually asks, "What?" That's usually a great in for some story...
