"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.

As I spend more time in the Mature Man section of SS as I recover from a recent health scare, I’ve noticed the sense of community and oneness in our searches for meanings to our existence. As men we are under attack from all sides and our banding together has been a refreshing break from the Matrix that attempts to devour us on a daily basis. I’ve noticed some dissention in recent threads and hope that it will stop. We are all here for the same reason (hopefully) – to grow as men. We are all at different levels with different concerns and in a sense it is up to us to enlighten our gender to the traps that are laid before us. We are a Band of Brothers. Cheers!



From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;

"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.

You know that you're speaking my language, Romangod.

But that doesn't come as a surprise to you though, does it???

I agree your sentiments wholeheartedly. :yes:

There's a lingering resentment amongst the men in the MM forum. Where it comes from, I have no idea but my duty as a ranking officer of the V.U. ARMY and a proud proponent of men everywhere is to locate the source of this dissent and hostility and put a bullet square in it's eye.

We're a Band of Brothers, for sure, and it's our responsiblity to keep each other from falling.

You're right on the money, KarmaSutra. It is our responsibility to stick together and help each other from falling down and possibly ruining our lives. There should be no resentment to each other. Courteous discourse or disagreement with respect to each other's concerns should be a priority.

Many come here from all corners of the world seeking answers. Yes, we are a Band of Brothers. :up:

What resentment? That's not resentment, that's just the one's who haven't gotten laid in awhile. We all just need to hang out with a few gallons of beer and a room full of hotties. That would be fun as hell!

Brotherhood is a good term. Women have Feminism, and Sisterhood. Masculinism is okay by me too.

......................... or perhaps ones that have gotten laid and are left with an empty feeling and are searching for deeper truths. In my opinion, the troubles that men are experiencing are personified by their relationships with women but that is not the root cause of their unhappiness and unease. Many use it as a bad drug to temporarily ease their pain while paradoxically increasing it to the point of misery. If a few gallons of beer and a room full of hot women is the answer then we're probably asking the wrong question. Cheers!

True, let's all meet up at a pub in Amsterdam, and we'll see the truth! But seriously, you just described me in your post.

:p I'd love to go to Amsterdam again! I've been there twice and had the times of my life. Stumbling through the main town at 5:00 in the morning after a night at the coffee shop with a hot Danish woman tourist on my arm is truly unforgetable. Cheers!
 

"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.

Yeah, that's where I need to be right now.
