"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.

I like both but I'm running short on money these days so I was wondering which magazine was better. Please explain your reasoning and state why the other one is better than the other. If anyone knows any magazines good for improving fashion please tell me! BTW Does askmen have their personal magazine? their site is really neat it's like a men's encylopedia.
 

"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.

Bible_Belt is on the money there.

I buy FHM and Ralph, although to me FHM is the best.

And I do buy FHM for the articles :p they have some funny, relative and actually darn helpful stuff in there.

I have a subscription to Stuff magazine. I like both FHM and Maxim but find that Stuff appeals more to me, followed closely by Maxim then FHM.

I use to have a free subscription to all those magazines.
I honestly couldn't tell the difference between any of them.
They are so much alike...from the layout and content that they are practically indistinguishable.

Yeah, like Playboy, they all photoshop/airbrush the hell out of the girls. The women always look orange and the pictures are so airbrushed and blurred that they look like cell-shaded cartoons.

Damn I never read Stuff magazine but I might give it a shot, I heard it was Maxim's sister mag though. What sucks is how you can't buy Playboy or Hustler if your not 18, when I was 15 living in Japan I bought Playboy every month but Playboy doesn't have any interestin articles like Maxim and FHM. Well after comparing both based on models, pictures, article quality, areas they cover, website and special features I think Maxim is a little better than FHM. I seriously think Askmen.com should consider publishing their own magazines they have so many great articles.

It is.

Some of the articles they use in Stuff magazine they used in Maxim as well. I used to have a subscription to Maxim back in 98-99 and the magazine used to be thick and more entertaining. Now the magazine is so thin and the articles are lame and unoriginal, they seem to run out of ideas.

The magazines I read now tend to be more mature like: National Geographic, Time Magazine and Men's journal. I sometimes look at Askmen.com.

For sports and porn I browse the net.
 

"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.
