"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.

"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.

setting personal goals and then achieving them. The goals must have nothing to do with women.

Women actually make you depressed my friend.

What makes me happy is the fact that I can do whatever I want and have a job that I love.

In many countries you don't have the freedoms and luxuries that you do in the US. We need to learn to appreciate what we have. I know we don't appreciate it until it's gone, but one shouldn't live that way. I'm happy to be alive, healthy, and without a bloodsucking ex wife.
 

"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.

From the time I was 14-15 cars have always been my hobby/what I work for. While I was still in school I spent pretty much everything on my cars lol

Now I am putting a lot of energy into building a website and brand so I can do my own thing instead of working for my parents company. I am excited to be building something of my own, much like how my parents started their company about 20 years ago in our kitchen and now they employ somewhere around 20 people.

I have also found in the last few months that I really enjoy working out (to better myself, not to improve my image with the ladies). I have always been very skinny (6' 2'' 135 lbs at 21) but in the last 3-4 months I have gained about 35 lbs. Its been great to put effort in and slowly see the results.

I couldn't have said it better.

It is so important to sometimes take our eyes off ourselves and focus on those who are in need. This applies both to personal life and to business.

Who says we shouldn't rely on women to be happy? I disagree with that.
same here, I understand they cant be the ONLY source of happiness but they definitely be a great source of happiness when added to everything else you do to be happy in life.

Hunting... Makes me feel alive. Especially after treking around in the bush all day.. Never knowing when shyts gunna go down. Your senses highten.. And you can hear every little snap and rustle in the bush. Is it a bear?? Is it a cougar? Is it a deer?... Who knows.. But man can I hear my heart beat in my head when my gun comes up and a live and legal target is in sight...everything happens like the matrix in slowmotion til that trigger is squeezed... BOOOOOOM and it all comes together.. Then the work starts.

Lucky for me so far my encounters with predators have never been anything to serious yet.. But nothing short of an awesome rush. Have had a few close calls where I thought I would need to defend myself but it didn't transpire and I am still here.

Here's a pic of the rack from the biggest mule deer I ever shot. Weighed in at over 300lbs. Had it taxidermied and some of the hide tanned and put back on the top of the skull to mount it.
