"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.

Very interesting statistics about fatherhood, marriage, etc.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I've seen these kinds of statistics before and it makes me wonder, does this:

* 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes.
* 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
* 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
... vanish when the single parent home is where the FATHER gets the children.

So, do children from single-father homes turn out fine, but from single-mother homes they implode?

Seeings these kinds of numbers makes me think that.

"Judge Hanlon said that awarding exemplary damages would have disregarded the complexities of the situation that confronted Mrs Magill."

What complexities? Being responsible for your own actions?

There's some pretty interesting data over there. Really makes you think about how screwed up our family courts are wrt to being sexist against men. Nothing I didn't already know on that front, but now I know the fallout of said discrimination from reading those statistics.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I agree that these numbers seem to be against giving the kids to the mother. Christian web sites are rarely a reliable source of accurate statistical information.
