"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.

met a few girls who know I have a business.

from the outset when meeting me nice car, clothes etc they can tell the business is sucessful.

They later proceed to ask how much I make per month (as in profit)

Is this something to be worried about ,or is this from curiosity? Or should I use my instinct per situation.

Thanks.

I would immediately relegate a woman to fvk buddy status for that. It would make it obvious to me what she's looking for. A good woman, hell any respectful person that values privacy, wont ask you how much money you make when they barely know you.

But maybe thats just me. Ive been taught that salary is a private thing, and I usually discuss it with close friends and close family members. Its a turn off when people I barely know are nosey like that...especially a woman.

"Slow down honey, you're ruining 'the moment'. All information will be given on a need to know basis"

And yes, revealing those cards in the early going puts you in serious danger of getting boxed into beta bucks status. Don't ever grow bitter or paranoid of girls wanting for you to open up about this sort of information though. Treat it with the same amusement you'd dole out to a little five year old sitting in the back seat of your car as you drive to some distant theme park, asking "Daaaaad, are we there yet???" If they continue to claw for you to tell them, simply next them.

Could be out of curiosity, either way, doesn't seem very tactful.

You: none of your business

or

You: that's on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

or

You: A billion dollars, but I donate most of it to charity.

or

You: Enough to survive on Ramen noodles and spaghetti oh's (no fvcks given)
 

"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.

Red flag. Ask her how much she leeches off per month.

The person who said a billion and you donate it to charity is a good answer. It's a great opportunity for a C&F response.

Come on bro, you obviously told these girls you have a business, and you want them to ask you such a question.

But how can you be so confused about a simple question from a girl, when you run such a successful business? :trouble:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Woman: How much money do you make?

Old_skoolr: Enough to get you....

I'm all for C&F most of the time, but if a girl asks me that, that's the answer Id give.

The girl showed shes a gold digger, and shes attracted to your wealth. All you gotta give is an answer that'll seal the deal.

No C&F for this, just straight to the point.

Tell any women that asks how much you earn to "FVCK OFF". No other response is needed.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything, so you have to let it go.
Answer the truth if you like, much higher\lower than that if you like, tell her she's not close enough to ask if you like ...
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Female: "How much money do you make?"
You: "What color is your underwear?"
