"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 would you do if she had a medical condition

What would you guys do if there was a girl you were interested in, and you asked her if she wanted to sit down and talk for a while. During the conversation you realize that you have a few of the same interests, and that you like her personality. You are 26 and she is 20. She looks rather pale and thin, though. But then she tells you something shocking...that she has a medical condition that prevents her from working or going to school, and that she won't be cured from it for at least 6 months. The poor girl is basically housebound. You don't ask what her medical condition is because you don't want to ask something that might be too personal. You get her number and leave.

What would you guys do? The reason I am asking is because this precise situation happened to me. Please help.
 

"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.

Treat her no differently as a human being than you would anyone else. It'll make her feel more normal. Simply making the phone call could be monumental in her mind.

Bingo.

She is no different, and most people in her situation just want to be treated like a regular human being.

Just ask yourself, do you want to call her? It's a yes or no, and what we would do should not impact your moves. If you want to call her, call her.

Well, I'm glad the maturity level of this site hasn't evolved too highly since I've been gone. :rolleyes:

I personally would be too curious not to call her. It is up to you whether you want to call her or not. Worst case scenario, you have some decent conversation and you make a new friend.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Some of you guys are acting like he's offering a charity service to the girl...

If you want to fvck her, give her a call. Me personally, I'd be turned off. How do you know it's not contagious? I would've asked her what her condition is and apoligized if she got embarassed. I don't think she would've told you as much as she did if she wasn't willing to be more specific.

As the other guys said, just treat her as if she didn't have any illness. Call her and ask her out. Even if you decide not to take things to the next level, you've made a new friend, and so has she.

So I take it you're okay with having sex with diseased chicks then? Ghonorea, herpes, aids, bacterial infections... yum. Seems like a turn on for me too once I think of it. Oooooh Yeahhh!!
 

"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.

I dont believe anyone mention what the disease is (or if it is even contagious or not). Maybe she has diabetes? etc. It could be something minor.
At least she's being straight forward and honest about it.

Sex is a part of life. But sex isnt Life.

I don't think a lot of people think that diabetes is minor...

Back to the topic:
I think it's imperative to know what the disease is... If it's something that wouldn't infect or affect me then no problem.

Is "laziness" a "medical condition" now? :rolleyes:

And if she is "housebound," then how the hell did you meet her outside of her house?

uhhhhhhh

She'll go outside looking all sickly and tell you it'll be gone in 6 months but it's too personal to say what it is?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
