"Frank"?
"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.
Thinking about giving alcohol up all together

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I presume OP has put a post about drinking , because 1 is too many and 1000 never enough hence his 2 day hangover, he cant go out like my dad can and have 1 pint and leave 100 ml of it still in the bottom of the beer glass, OP most likely goes on a full day sesh or two, or he wouldnt be asking, ........i dont hang round bars anymore it bores the ****e out of me , and women drunk embarass me, i used to be that person, no wonder women used to ghost me after the 2nd meet,

I don't care if other people drink or not. But I will ask this:
If the OP wants to better himself by not drinking, which is more important? That, or getting laid more?
That's true. Tipsy is fine. But drunks are absolutely disgusting.
Alcohol is definitely a liquid panty remover though. Probably one reason why the PUA gurus advocate hanging around clubs when they're sober: Drunk girls are easy targets. I don't buy into the idea that a girl gets drunk (of her own free will), and then decides to bang some guy, and then when she wakes up sober she decides it's rape. I don't buy that at all.

I think it's the chemical they use as a sugar replacement that winds you up. Yeah, I find Diet Coke is worse than coffee lol.

I don't care that much about alcohol. I'll drink one socially when I'm out, but that's about it.
I'm fine ordering a Coke at a bar and grill when I'm ordering food. I don't feel guilty (not ordering liquor) because I'm spending some decent money by ordering the food.
But if I'm ONLY getting a drink, ordering a Coke (or any non-alcohol drink) at the bar or club feels weird. On a busy night, you can get some funny looks from the bartender because you are taking up a bar stool and only ordering $2 Coke. Some fat bastard bartender eye-rolled me at the club years ago when I ordered a Coke lol*.
*The PUA videos I watched at the time assured me that this would NEVER happen at a club lol.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I don’t really drink anymore. Had a couple of nights out this year & didn’t enjoy it.
The fact that you’re choosing to post about stopping says to me you should probably drastically cut back & if that fails, stop altogether.
I stopped because I can take it too far, no shame in that at all.

I think about giving it up because I think I get too 'sloppy' and it also effects my speech for the worse quite easily
However, without it, I don't think i'd have the balls too approach, and i'd also be way more stifled and stuff in the convo in the event I did approach lol

2 day hangovers mean you're wayyy overdoing it. Even in your 30's. Are you getting slurring, stumbling drunk? If so, then you need to re-shift your focus to the people around you when you go out socializing, and away from the booze. Easier said than done, however. I know it is.
Also, avoid drinking lots of beer. It really dehydrates you (and lowers your testosterone) and contributes to the nausea, dry-mouth, headache, and depressed mood the next day. Stick to clear liquors mixed with seltzer or club soda and limit yourself to 2 per hour. The hangover is significantly less harsh when I stick to vodka clubs.
I give up drinking for Lent each year. I'll admit, it gets lonely and boring when your social life revolves around alcohol consumption to some degree. But it's only 40 days, so I can look forward to a drink while I'm drinking diet ginger ale.

Im telling you man, Definitely give it up. I drank a lot during my partying years and sure it was a lot of fun but over time it really fvcks you up mentally and physically. If I try to drink like I did back then, it will take me 4 damn days to recover and I'll be mentally drained. Your joints will feel dry and you will feel a type of exhaustion too. It'll make it harder to burn fat as well and age your face faster. Definitely give it up.
