"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 does everyone do when their best mates have no time except for their new girlfriend?

Got a great friend but I cant be asked with him anymore. Probably called about 3 times since xmas and cancelled twice on going out drinking at the last minute.

****ing annoying.
 

"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.

place to place.
i had a friend like that. it seemed we'd planned to go boozing and at the last minute he would cancel, because he was hanging with his girl for the night.

the situation reversed though cause just as his woman broke up with him, i had met a girl and it was the puppylove bullcrap stage and when he called me up to go out, i cancelled at the last minute. he then proceeded to call me whipped. it's funny when friends who do the same thing have the balls to call you whipped.

i'm sure if you met a girl who laid you every night, he'd be complaining too.
