"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.

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and I just wanted some advice how to handle this year of school. To understand my situation you kind of need some background information to fill you in on things. There are 3 private schools in my county and I went to one of them for freshmen year. Everything was fine, I started on all the sports teams I played, I was hanging with the popular kids in my grade, I got good grades. After awhile however I realized "my friends" all had mini groups within our big group and I wasn't really apart of any. I still went to a couple parties with them but I was lacking the invites to a bunch of stuff. Then I also realized that the private school I was at's education was horrible. The teachers couldnt control the students and I wasn't learning anything. Lastly, due to snapchat and instagram whenever I saw people in my town posting stuff it made me feel left out. My problem is that in middle school when I went to school with my town I wasn't the most popular because of my friend group and my confidence. I decided to transfer out in the Summer after freshmen year mainly because I was tired of the all boys environment and the school itself. Going into sophomore year I just need some advice. Do I move away from my 3 core friends that aren't that social and dont have anything in common with me but have been my bestfriends the past 6 years? I sometimes feel like theyre dragging me down. They're all 5'6 or smaller and only play video games and hangout with girls on their level, meanwhile I am 6'0, athletic, and Ive had experience more with the hotter girls in the county. Do i find a more social friend group?
 

"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.
