"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.

Haven't had a cigarette in 8 days. I've been using general snus white portion though. It's not harsh like American dip. I already feel like i can breath better and I have more energy, food tastes better.

Smoking is so disgusting. Never going back.
 

"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.

Just vape. It's such a great alternative.

I smoked my first ciggarette in years the other day. I got on with this guy, and we were out ages longer than i thought. I ran out if battery and needed a smoke, so it was off to the supermarket.

I was shocked at the price, and that you can only get a pack of 20 - no 10 packs anymore. And the girl at the counter was shocked that i was shocked. It's like i've been in a timewarp or something.

It felt so strange walking through town with a proper cigarette like ages back. Then i realised just how little i see people smoking real cigs anymore in general.

Anyways, smoked about a dozen (was drinking), but no desire to go on doing so the following day. E-cigs are just better all round imo.
I really want to completey quit nicotine and caffeine eventually.

With the vape alternative you can slowly wean yourself down on the nicotine level until you reach zero. Way cheaper than cigs also.

I prefer snus because I like the i dont have to inhale it and i can just leave it in even after most of the nicotine is gone and trick myself into thinking in getting more nicotine then i am. The nicotine in snus absorbs more slowly causing your blood nicotine levels to spike and taper off more slowly. Hopefully I can just stop or switch to mints or regular gum or something.

Plus a vape is initially a lot of money

Even if you can’t kick the habit, it’s still healthier.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
