"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.

Why do girls with no dads tend to behave worse than girls with dads?

Especially in a single mother household.
 

"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.

Because fathers (should be) are an authority figure. Women are better at nurturing the kids, the father is better at setting boundaries and enforcing punishment.

With Dads, they have an example to look at. Structure more so. Shapes their reasoning. These girls are more submissive.

Without Dad, they have a little understanding of how men act and what it takes to keep a man. They're used to things being their way and you can't tell them how to act. They only know what other women tell them about men which is nothing like how a man acts. These girls are more female-alpha and independent.

Studies have shown that when a girl grows up without a father it can have effects on her brain development and her kids may come out more aggressive than average. I experienced this first hand with a single mom I dated, the kid was abusive to animals...suprise suprise- she had no father growing up. Women who grow up without fathers are also more likely to seek attention and validation from other men

I dated a single mom who grew up without a father. I had a particularly rough day at work and started telling her about it. Instead of the ususal "Aww, let me come and rub your back" that I usually get from women, I got a "I don't need no man dumping on me" statement. I'd never heard such a thing in my life and it was a total curve ball.

I generally try to avoid women without father figures. Women who have lousy fathers are better off than women who have no father at all.
 

"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.

My current one had a part time dad.. parents divorced at young age he went off and had a second family and split time between them.. I think it traumatized her. He lives with the other family now.

I am expecting the Bpd to come out at any time... she seems normal so far but her mom is crazy and pops pills.

Many end up craving an unstable relationship which resonates on some level with whatever they endured during childhood. They consider this familiar turf, something they're used to. Your typical AFC "nice guy" does not stand a chance with these type of girls, causing them to feel undeserving of that kind of attention. An explanation I once came across is that they're subconsciously yearning to finally resolve what has tormented them for so long by reenacting their turbulent childhood - that is, entering into a relationship which simulates the sort of chaos that they experienced during their formative years - only it never is resolved, the cycle simply continues indefinitely.
