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.
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.

ahhh Let's see what I got for ya.
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Hey"
I call them the three H's. You can remember it because of Santa Clause.
You know, "Ho Ho Ho".
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I KNOW THAT BUT JUST FOR MY FIRST FEW TO GET OVER FIRST HIRDLE I WANT A DEFAULT ONE THEN I WILL START BEING NATURALOriginally posted by \O/
How about "Hi"?![]()
If you want openers, just search the forum and you'll find plenty. Some are good, some are not. Instead of having canned, default lines, try to observe the surroundings and comment on that. If you learn how to do that, you'll never run out of **** to say..Pace reality..
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
THOSE ARE GAYOriginally posted by Reagan
Capslock is gay.
"Hi, nice weather?"
"Hey, Can I ask you a question? Do you think George Bush is gay?"
"hello, your hair is gross."
"Hey your expression looks like you have to tinkle."
"Excuse me, but are you constipated?"
These are 2 different questions in the title of your post and since some of the other sosuavers have answered the question about opening lines...Originally posted by metrhoe
like a default line i can use all situations or activity like asking them a question about something like "can i ask ur opinion on something blah whats blah blah"
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
WHATS THE SECRET TO THIS? TELL ME HOW I CAN B BIG PLAYAOriginally posted by superchristx
I can't believe none of you guys are telling him about the magic spell. God, it's like we finally hear about the trick and suddenly we want to hoard this knowledge all for ourselves. Won't someone tell this poor chump the magic spell so he can become a supafly pimp?
