"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've never been a big fan of dating advice given by women. I think they often give much worse advice than men. Tonight I met with several women and asked them to devise a game plan for men who want to PU in grocery stores. This is what they came up with. I have no hand in this and have not even tested it......... this is all according to women. I am just passing along info a couple of board members asked for out of the horses mouth :)

Protocol for Grocery Stores:

Say HI
IF no answer
Walk Away
Else
Ask her What She's doing / What she's looking for.
CONTINUE conversation until you get #
WAIT 2 days before calling
TERMINATE conversation in less than an hour to an hour tops.

Personally, I'd try to extract her right then or at least kiss her, but then I am not a woman (thankfully).
 

"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'm not stupid, many will tell you YOUR approach sucks. Or tell you ways to improve YOUR approach.

THEIR approach sucks. I've never tried a grocery store approach. Doesn't seem to appealing to a 22 year old male.

"Hi"
"oh. hello" -confused - fine to this point.
"What are you doing?" || "What are you looking for?"
"shopping." DUH! || "Nothing, Filling my pantry." DUH!

an HOUR conversation. OH you can cut it short, maybe 40 minutes. WHO THE F*CK (man or woman) WANTS TO HANG OUT IN A GROCERY STORE TALKING TO A STRANGER FOR AN HOUR?

Thank you EWH for field testing the advice women will give. Saves me time asking them and rejecting their ideas.
