"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.

Hey,

I've finished studying for the moment so I've freed up time during the weeknights. Mostly I am just hitting the gym and don't really have much else to do. I occasionally go to bars/pubs but try and stay away from it as most weekends I'm hitting bars/clubs/pubs Friday and Saturday night.

So what sort of things do you guys get up to during your weeknights?

Cheers,

df

P.S I'm a 9 - 5'er during the week!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I have to clean my Berettas tonight.:eek: I went trap shooting this weekend, and hit up the pistol range, so my babies need a little TLC. Had an e-mail this morning from one of the gals...
"Really had a good time yesterday but my frickin arm/shoulders are
killing me! Its all good though I really had fun. I hope we all go out again I
love your gun its awesome! I am going to take hunter safety course though so I don't scare anybody!! Then save up for my own gun."
:p ...I went Saturday AND Sunday - different people! Nyuk, nyuk, nyUK!
Probably do some laundry tonight, too.

Tomorrow I'll be wrecked (long weekend), so I'll probably turn off the phone and crash super early. Wednesday, chicky is coming over to spend the night, Thursday... uh... probably pack for camping this weekend. Donno... maybe dude will drag me out somewhere.

Must be nice... having time that needs filling: I never have enough time for everything.

:nervous:

Oh wait... that's the goal!;)

Man...

I go home and watch TV during the week. The Gates 360 Box is a blessing along with the other vintage game systems I own.

The only problem is I tend to crack open the Cognac on the weeknights.

I have a part-time job that takes up all my Saturday mornings & afternoons. The evenings I'm game..

Sunday, I'm recovering and vegging only to be tired as hell on Monday..rinse..and repeat.

Somewhere I find time to add laundry. I'm trying to add a female or two, but as you can see my time is difficult. I can barely play the gaming systems I got..

Vulpine,
Help me understand how not having too much time to fill is the goal? I barely have time for myself...

Hmm...

My TV has been known to stay off for a month at a time. In fact, the only time it gets turned on is to watch a movie with a chick.

And, click on the little "X" in my sig... I only hit that on the weekends.

The 360 Xbox is a blessing? A "blessing"? Consider "I'm trying to add a female or two", then reconsider "blessing".

The difference is lifestyle, I suppose. I sit on my butt all day at work in front of a computer. By the time I get home, turn on the iPod/stereo, workout, do some random chore, and eat, the phone is blown up with someone wanting a piece of my time, or my azz. I tend not to sit down after 5:00 until I go to bed.

Your post is kinda funny, actually. :eek:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Vulpine,

I'm glad you found humor in my situation. :cheer:

I was asking how not having any variety in your life besides doing the things you do after work provide any excitement to having very little time.

And if you thought that joke was funny..I once knew a man from Nantucket..:D

I go out with different people between 4-12 times a week, dude. Weeknights, weekends, days... Movies, darts, bowling, shooting, hunting, "dates", shopping/goofing around, spend the night here, spend the night there, dragged out to a bar, who the fux knows...

I'm all over the place, that's "what I do after work to provide excitement and variety in my free time".

What's funny is that I'm this busy... and I can't drive for another year yet.

I find it HILARIOUS that people who are free to go wherever they please, whenever they please, to do whatever they want... choose instead to sit on their butts in front of the TV.

I guess I misunderstood your situation, I thought you filled your time with TV and video games and were complaining that you didn't have enough time for other things. Or, is that your priority and I still don't understand your grievance?

Vulpine,

I was saying I get off of the 9 to 5 and try to pre occupy my time.

I mean hanging out in bars for Happy Hour, doesn't exactly help my "slight" grinking problem. Plus it's expensive.

But after discussing this yesterday I came home and straightened up my apartment.

So you're right, there's always something for me to do when I get off work. Especially, in the pad.
