"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.

What do you think about this new dating site?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

another variant of the "sugar daddy" concept.

Attraction is not a choice. And you can't buy it.

interesting! I actually think the concept is great. Kind of a sociological experiment. I dig it, while most of the 'generous' people are men and 'attractive' people are women, it seems that you can decide which you feel you fall into and go from there.

It would be interesting to put up two profiles, one in each section, and see the differences in reactions.

I think it's a very interesting concept. The majority of men pay for sex anyway in one way or another, it's cool to put an actual dollar-amount on where you stand (as far as internet dating goes at least, which is often more difficult than in-person pickup).

It's also an interesting business model. I assume since the site doesn't charge members any monthly fees, they take a cut of what the 'generous' folks will pay for the 'attractive' folks. Cool and innovative. EDIT: ermm... just signed up and this doesnt appear to be the case.

Now if they lumped all men into the 'generous' section and all women into the 'attractive' section, that would suck. But they let you make the choice, so it's all good. I think I'll put profiles in each and see what's up. I love studying the mating market, fascinating stuff.

EDIT: Checked it out, found out how payment works, and I think this is the big downside and will eventually sink it: The "generous" people have to pay to unlock communication. And it ain't cheap. I think this means that an "attractive" person can't initiate contact with an offer. Say you're a hot guy and you see some cougar and you want to offer to go out with her if she pays you $50 or whatever, I don't think you can do that.

So the transaction fees are going to kill it I think. Plus the fact that there is no "escrow." It suggests the payor pay half at the start of the date and half when it's over but, really, how is that enforceable? And if the "attractive" person has sex with the "generous" person during the date would that be considered prostitution, and could the site itself be engaged in "pimping?" Kind of an interesting legal question.

We'll see how well the laws of supply and demand work when it comes to dating then.

Will this drive prices down and quality up?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

So why aren't the women paying? Seems to me this helps women put a value on their pu$$y and promotes the guy who is willing to spend money.

Seems easier to just buy pu$$y off the street.

Wow. The founder looks like the typical rich nerd who will just pay for it. At least he knows what part of the game he's in, and while he's been a trick for some time, now he's learned to pimp out other tricks and get their money. So you go trick pimp, pimp on!

I signed up as an "attractive" person and saw some women willing to pay. Didn't really get that into the site though, didn't put up much of a profile or pics.
