"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.

Heh... just for fun I was wonderin if any of you guys had schools with the same deal as my HS.

The weightroom in our HS had about 8 or 9 little whiteboards on the wall, and each one was a hall of fame for each of these different categories. Everyone tried to get their name on the board every year, and it was cool inspiration and stuff.

Let's see, they had stuff like,

body weight 20 times
body weight + 100
275 lb club
300 lb club
(70 pushups, 20 pull ups, 30 dips in one period (45 mins)) club
135 x 40 times
225 x 5, 250 x 3, 275 x 1
250 lbs (body weight < 135)

and I think that was it...

It was a cool little thing...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Do they have t-shirts? I always thought that it was pretty cool. Pretty good acheivement...
