"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.

Where to go from here?

Ok I'll start by saying my game has traditionally been terrible to non-existent. By my account, over the years I have blown it and gotten friend zoned with at least 5 very attractive girls that were definite LTR, if not wife, material.

I have been trying to work on this lately, starting with PoF. Using some of the tips on here, I am now starting to get responses and interest. I am currently messaging this one girl and would like to get your thoughts on how to proceed from here. I not looking for a relationship with her (partly because she lives like an hour away from me), but wouldn't mind banging her or landing a FB. Here is the conversation as it stands now:

Me: So what do you do when you're not talking to handsome guys online?
Her: Hahaha. I work. I'm a behavioral therapist for kinda with autism. And I'm in school. You?
Me: That's cool. I am an attorney, but looking of a new job as my last one laid a bunch of us off. Aside from that, I have been working on an eBay business and a couple other side projects, while seeing what trouble I can get myself into.
Her: Haha. Trouble huh?
Me: I bet you are trouble too :)
Her: Haha. Maybe ;)
Me: You should come up my way sometime...see what trouble we can get into together.
Her: Haha, oh really now?
Me: Well, unless you hate fun.
Her: Haha, I don't hate fun.

I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
 

"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.

Notice how she ignores the "I'm an attorney and have my own business" and seized on the "trouble" part?
She wants you to be the bad boy she craves. Keep up with the mysterious banter to really push her buttons.

Just an update on this. Kept getting generic responses in my effort to meet up. Like generic enough to make me suspect "catfishing." Nothing since. Next.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Cause we all know, this hoe has got to go.
