"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 came across this discussion thread and found it to be very interesting and decided to share it.

Basically, a woman is in a relationship with this awesome boyfriend (she admits she has amazing experiences with him) but is so bothered by the fact that he is only 4 inches shorter than her that she feels the need to seek advice on an internet forum. Keep in mind, she admited that the relationship is awesome and that she has great experiences with him, but despite all this, him being short just bothers her so much.

one responding female to the thread even mentioned that her boyfriend actually was actually an inch taller than her, yet it still bothered her even though he was still ::taller:: than her. she admited great personality traits about her boyfriend such as him being romantic, but of course his height was such an issue, she actually broke up with him jus becuase of his height (she admited this).

So, what are your opinions on this?

take a look for yourself:

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Anyone think it's kind of weird for a girl to dump a guy 4 years AFTER they date? I can understand if he gained weight or started being an ass, but his height has been the same from day one. Lot of factors could go into this. I think it's because she's starting tot think about marriage and having kids. While she's fine dating a girl shorter then her, I don't think that she wants her kids to be short. It's that whole survival and replication thing, you can't fight our biological urges!

  1. She's 22
  2. She started dating him even though he was 4 inches shorter than her (as if he was going to grow during the year)
What does this mean?
  1. She's not mature enough to choose guys who she is really attracted to
  2. He thinks that dating someone who was 21 at the time would make sense when he was close to 30. Yeah, not all 21 year old women are alike but most of them seem to be.

Difference in height is only as big of an issue as you make it.

My bf is 5'4 and I am 5'8. Quite frankly, we don't care, and the height doesn't bother us.

There are women who don't care if their man is shorter, and women who refuse to date a shorter guy. Just like there are men that don't care if their woman is taller, and men who refuse to date a taller woman. It depends on the person/couple.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

The branch sort of melded with his head in this picture, though, so he looks taller here than he really is...
You have a nice azz.

:yes: Simple as that. But how many people truly know what they want (which is realistic) and are willing not to compromise?
 

"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.
