"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 pretty much summed it up.

"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.

What did you glean from this book that you didn't already know? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really curious. I haven't read the book but I read the review at ROK. Its tenets seemed obvious to me, but the truth isn't always accepted by men in love or lust.
Me? Nothing. For everyone asking questions on the front page? Well, let's see what they glean from it.

So what? It shouldn't be said or posted because it's true? LOLWUT? Again, look at the front page, now look at this book. Now look back at the frontpage. Some people haven't gotten it. I don't see what you're even asking here. Maybe this post isn't for you?

Dear Warrior,
I agree a great book thanks for posting it!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Not everyone has swallowed the red pill. It's good to have this information available - especially now, since Burroughs no longer posts.

Breaking news: women are selfish.

But we are selfish too.

As a character from a book I read many years ago said: let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
