"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.

Well, I reflected on myself for a while and I kinda realized my failure with women are based on two things, being "cute" and a major lack of identity. The latter is definitely the worst of the two, but let me explain both.

1.) So I've become a pretty social guy, I'm not that inept, however once I first meet a girl I sometimes come off awkwardly. But I've become friends with some of the girls who were interested in me (but I'm not interested in), and they all say that the girls that I actually am interested in think I'm "cute". Of course this is a problem, how do I solve it? Maybe I just look too young or something....:)EDIT: I'm trying to just pass from the threshold of "cute" to "hot")

2.) This is the more major one. My dad is black and my mother is asian. Any other mixed people may know what I'm about to say. I lack a total identity, and thus I come off as "fake" alot. I have alot of trouble showing who I am, mainly because I don't really know who I am. When I hang out with my asian friends, I talk to them as if I were another asian. When I hang out with my black friends, I talk to them in the same way that they talk. And I can't really help it- its natural. After I talk to them for a couple minutes I start talking the way they talk. I don't even know how to dress either, as my mom tries to get me clothes such as abercrombie and american eagle and at the same time I wear urban clothing. Now I doubt anyone else has this problem, but does anyone know how to fix this little "identity crisis "i've gotten myself into? :trouble:


Oh I'm a senior in high school if it means anything.
 

"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.

Just do that ****. Doesn't matter if they don't want to, the focus is on YOU. If you feel to insecure about coming dressed 'strange' then mix a few classy items into the outfits your wear gradually, not the whole SHEBANG at once.

On a side note that tip about dressing how you feel is awesome.

just invest in some nicer clothing. No i dont mean what all the 20 somethings wear to a club, i mean some nice jeans, shirts, jerseys etc. As for the idenity i know what you mean. Its the culture aspect not neccessarily the race issue. Id say choose which one you want to be and stay like that. Im froma bunch of different places/areas and like you said i acted one way towars one person, antoher towars the next group. This will get you lots of friends but you wont ever feel like you truly fit in. Just find who you really click with and feel the most natural around and that is how you will come off towards the ladies. Natural and "yourself" i.e. your identity.

just dress the way you want. i think the thing your missing is no matter what color you are you can dress any way you want to. people of every race dress nice.

as far as the cute thing i have the same problem man. and to be honest i cant figure it out either.
