"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.

Have a good center is vital to making any kind of progress with the ladies.

Lately I've been going thru some things. Death in the family, and the drama that follows.

New job, still adjusting and learning to make more money. Still homeless, but now sleeping in my new toyota prius.

People, I care about, leaving my life.

How about you? What knocks you off your horse, as it were?

"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.

I think unexpected surprises knock everyone off center.

Outside of that.. I get knocked off center when I find out something I thought to be true was a lie. Reason being.. I'm very big on "living in reality" since that allows you to make the smartest choices. Any time I learn that I was operating on FALSE information and making dumb decisions because of it.. that can rattle me.

Mate I'm sorry to hear. A death in the family will knock anyone. Some s***** parts of life just have to be lived through I guess you know that better than anyone. You've made 2 big achievements which must have taken huge willpower and strength of character, stay on the path even when it's dark and rocky.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Thanks, everyone, for the ecouragement. It means a lot!

I'm hoping someday to have my mojo at full strength, as it were. Till then, progress continues.

I hear ya... It just washes all our defences and new found self-belief away like they didn't exist. Remember though, being a victim is a habit of mind. With work we can change that conditioning.
