"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.

It feels scary b/c I feel like I have a lot of chores to do.

I mean, when I was younger I was like I'd do this but I'm not 18 yet. I'll do that but I'm not 18 yet. But soon I will be I could do whatever I want and I don't know what to do.

It's like when the coyote finally found the road runner he was like. "Now what the f*&# do I do". lol.
I can work full time, buy cigarettes, buy porno (lol), hook up w/ 30 year olds legally. Too many priveleges at once. You guys know what I mean?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You don't even know how much better being 18 is than being a minor. You have soooooooo much more freedom. Casino!

If your parents or the church is not there to guide you in these perilious times... Imagine what you will be, and it will be so.

at the end a person's broken life, sometimes life can never be the way it used to be.. But Christ can walk with you the rest of the way, if you let him.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

good advice, but the second part doesn't make sense because he isn't at the end of his life.

thanx for the explanation, yes I get it, but hypotheticaly someone can read into it more and deduce that the teenage years or the first part of adolescense is a broken lifestyle, and that the innocence of childhood is broken.

Just some poissbilities.

Still support what he says though.

I wish I am 18 forever. I am 18 now, that's all I wish to be, for the rest of my immortal life, to be 18 forever. :( :eek:

Best age of the entire human life.

I prefer to think the best is yet to come, just to be optimistic. I respect your view and all, but if you haven't lived past 18 yet, how do you know it's your golden year?
