"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.

The end has got to be near...


Gwyneth Paltrow is either insane, or a marketing genius. We're going to guess the latter.
Why? Because she is selling a candle through her online "Goop" store for $75 and it's already sold out. We're not sure what the margins run on $75 candles, but they've got to be pretty good.
So what's the hook that's bringing people in? The name of the candle is "This Smells Like My Vagina".
Yes, for just $75, perverts around the world can fool themselves into thinking they are living in the nether regions of the famous 47 year old actress by shelling out for and burning the candle, which according to Fox News actually is made up of geranium, citrusy bergamot and cedar smells.

 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I wonder why such ideas never come to young actresses in their prime.
 

"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.

She’s a perfect example of what makeup and clothing do yo make a plain girl attractive to us. Believe me, she was pretty plain when I knew her, nothing special, maybe a 5.5 or 6. But she had that underlying good “base” for makeup that would turn her maybe into an 8 or so. But in the natural, very plain and nothing to write home about.

This serves to remind me that we men are often attracted more to the illusion that makeup provides, than the actual raw material.

should be used to it by now, everytime you go out with a girl drop 2 points for her looks.

remember 95% of a woman looks wash off on water

You know a lot of famous people.
Anyway, it's not that difficult for women to look good. If they stay thin, have straight teeth, and long hair, a lot of guys will find them attractive.

I remember in the first Avengers movie, she's in Stark Tower and walks across the floor in short shorts and bare feet, and there were wolf whistles from several guys in the crowd.

Yup. Back in my fishing days she was just a semi attractive teenager. All it takes is some paint on the face and some form-fitting clothing to boost a woman two to three points.

Well, when you get to be our age, a semi attractive teenager (legal age, of course!) can look pretty good.
I've never considered her smoking hot or anything, but at least she's stayed in shape.
Of course, she about has to in her profession.

I want it to be known that I am officially launching my own brand of Camobert cheese called "This smells like my bellend".

I rush to dump the trash if a can of sardines has been in it more than a day.
