"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.

"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.

Marry the mayor
BY KRISTEN CATES, THE SOUTHERN
CARBONDALE - Brad Cole wants to make one thing clear - he's not desperate for a date. After making a half-joke of a New Year's resolution in the Jan. 1 edition of The Southern Illinoisan to "find someone, fall in love and then get engaged," Carbondale's bachelor mayor is finding a little help from the Web.
No, it doesn't come in the form of Match.com or EHarmony.com. Instead, dates are being solicited for Cole by local Carbondaley Dispatch blogger David More.
More has set up a Web site, www.marry themayor.com, encouraging interested parties to submit an essay in order to win a dream date with the 35-year-old politician.
"It started as a joke when I read the quote," More said. "It just kind of took on a life of its own."
Cole said he was surprised, yet amused, when More notified him of his intentions.
"Evidently there's a committee to get the Mayor married," Cole said. "He, nor the committee, will take over my love life."
He's willing to go along with the idea, but More has yet to solidify what exactly will be included in the date package. It does include dinner and live music at Town Square so far.
According to the site, More is soliciting those who "are of marrying age, and attracted to the tall and slender type, with an offbeat sense of humor, an SUV, his own home, and a recently obtained master's degree in Legal Studies from SIU."
Cole said he's not in the loop on the essay selection process, but it's saving him some money.
"It's cheaper than a personal ad," he said, joking that his ad would solicit people interested in someone who is "somewhat involved in politics."
The deadline for essay submissions is Feb. 14.
More said he would do his best to help anybody interested in getting married - politics aside.
If his essay contest helps Cole achieve his New Year's resolution, he will be thrilled. "It would exceed my expectations," he said.
