"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.

This has got to be the most AFC thing ever

So this guy is wrongly convicted and serves 11 years for rape based on her word before DNA testing exonerates him. And after that he becomes friends with the woman. She just wants her guilty conscious eased. Some guys will do anything for women. I would never be the woman's friend if I was in that situation. But heck, I don't generally become friends with a woman even if all she did was not put out lol.

Probably just trying to take her defenses down, and reduce his likelyhood as a suspect, before he brutally murders her.

There's a way I'd be friends with a woman if that were done to me.

My condition would be that she'd be sentenced to 22 years in prison.

11 years paying the price that I paid for a crime I did not commit and then 11 years would be her serving her actual sentence for causing my false imprisonment.

Now if a woman did that after having screwed me over so royally I could take her apology seriously and be her friend.

An apology that just consists of words over such a human rights crime simply would not be enough to be accepted by me.

I wouldn't want to trade any amount of money for 11 years in prison, but what's done is done and at least he got a book deal out of it.

I hope he gets a big score on the book/Lifetime movie deal. I'd use part of the money to buy myself an airtight alibi...
 

"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 didn't know about a book deal but it figures. If he's getting a book deal then I guess being her friend makes the book and even better seller, or even a seller and a book deal at all, and he's getting something out of being her friend.

But I think he actually does consider her his friend. I guess he's been out of prison for about 14 years and maybe he's forgiven and forgotten but the AFC point remains. She's probably getting a peice of the book deal too. Then there's the point that women eat that friendship AFC angle up. In the first place, his whole conviction was based on AFC mentality of save-a-ho and putting creedence in a woman's word. This has AFC written all over.And she's getting more out of this friendship than he is. That's the thing, women always get the better end of the deal thanks to AFCism.

I'm more interested in what happens to her. She lies and he gets to go to prison for 11 years?

I'd sue that bitch for everything she is worth. I would also insist that she goes to prison for what she did.

So yes what he did is the ultimate AFC.

Edit:

Now that I actually saw the clip I don't know...

Is it right to hold a grudge on somebody who made a mistake and was truly sorry?

LOL if that happened, now she would have actual DNA evidence. He would get sent back to jail for the rest of his life if he even looks at her funny.

Well no he shouldn't necessarily hold a grudge but my point of it being AFC is he's rewarding her and easing her conscious. Instead of any consequence for what she did, the only consequence remaining- her guilty conscious-is being eased.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Falsely accusing him of rape is a 'mistake.' What do you call the eleven years she kept her mouth shut about it? Im guessing she never did fess up, if DNA evidence got him out of prison. She didnt admit it till he proved himself innocent. I think Jesus himself would have a hard time forgiving that one!

He may be an AFC according to conventional wisdom, but in reality he's just dealing with an internal issue that has created some incorrect beliefs in him about women. I feel really bad for the guy because until he looks inside and deals with the emotional scars, he'll be a man with his balls cut off, and it isn't even his choice.

I'd rape and kill her if she got off with nothing satisfying. I'd snap.

I have my own system of justice. This should actually be the real punishment for false cries of rape. You just get raped.

Hear about that guy who threw acid in a woman's face in Iran? He was sentenced to having acid thrown in his face. As screwy as that region is, they know how to treat a bastard.

Prison is lame. LAME LAME LAME. Why should society pay to house these people?
