"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 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.

Now you gotta let her know that its not cool with you without sounding insecure.

And it DOES sound like your insecure about it, but i would be a bit too... i admit.

So i say, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!

Start carrying around a picture of an ex or a good looking female friend in your wallet, show it to her, ask her what she thinks of the girls style because you dig it alot.

Start talking about your ex girl or other chicks your seeing, she will get jealous trust me. She will either get the hint, or get pissed off about it and your relationship will turn sour in which case it doesnt matter because not seeing the ***** is better then seeing her and hearing about her douche bag ex/bf all the damned time.

Well what'd you say? Get into specifics man. In order for us to help you, you gotta make us kinda get the feeling that we were actually there. Anyways, when she was making all these (possibly empty) promises, I would have said:

[INTERRUPTING HER] Stop telling me what you're going to do and show me. It's either him or me. I don't have time for games.

And if she's like "oh yeAh? you can't leave me!!" You'll just go, "try me." All with confidence of course. I mean, losing her isn't even counted as a loss. Kinda like dropping dead weight.

And sometimes they even go "you're just a control freak!!! yaaa!!!!" You calmly, but surely reply, "I'm a man and I don't take crap from anyone. If that's your definition of a 'control freak' then I guess I am one."

riiiight so she's just gonna stop?

yeah i got fed the "i care about you a lot, you only get two important people in your life"

pshhh her actions will speak louder than her words ever will, in fact wait until she starts blowing you off saying stuff about emergencys or this and that happend.

:rolleyes:
 

"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.

Go back to X-BF in the way [part1] and read all the posts again.

If you still want to hang out with her, it's your problem!

If you stay with her - watch very closely for signs of her meeting or seeing her ex.

Don't do this in a crazy way - i.e. Mr. Snooper. but keep a look out.


1st sign of her meeting him - NEXT>
