"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 you believe things change after mid 30s when it comes of who chases who?

I was wondering which one is the main factor that turns the table once we hit mid 30s.

After an entire life of men chasing women it then starts going the opposite way, we can see it in real life and even online and at dating events.

Cant really tell if the major factor is men libidos and need for validation to decrease or women value to do so compared to younger ones.

Funny thing is that right now Im not as good looking as my late 20s, my hair line is much worse so are the wrinkles in my face yet I get much more interests from women...not that I care that much since my obsession is no longer sex and validation but social power and money.

Quite ironic that when you really want something it gets hard to get it while once your priorities chance, it gets much easier.

Needless to say women my age are invisible to me, dont like how they look and surely dont like how they think and behave.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I agree it starts going in the opposite direction. I'm not sure it actually crosses the line completely, but whatever.

You mentioned some of the reasons, it's a number of different factors. The decrease in sex drive is a big one. Guys in their teens and early 20s are so juiced up, it's one reason why they get all nervous and jumpy around girls. It helps when you realize you don't have to get laid right this minute. Women also feel their biological clock ticking, they're running out of time if they want to find a baby daddy. Men increase in experience as they age, which makes them more smooth socially, and they know what mistakes to avoid. They may have built some muscle and career success, which increases their SMV.

Having a few lines on your face doesn't hurt, IMO. Looking a bit weathered, like you've actually been through something, can be appealing and make you look tougher than having a baby face. Think of Clint Eastwood at his height. It's the difference between looking like a man and a boy.

It's women's desire to find a betabuxx provider for the kids that she had with Chad and Tyrone.

These middle-aged women are shameless. In their 20's they slept around and had kids with a bunch of guys, and now those guys are broke or in jail and they want to find a betabuxx provider to leech off of...

As a guy that's 36 and decently successful in life, I am wary of middle-aged women that shows too interest in me...

Imo its men reach their peak in confidence and dominance at that age.

Ik when i was younger it was really hard for me to score with women and i was imo above average look wise. However i was lacking many things socially and it affected how i was seen, plus i was literally blind to any indication of interest.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
