You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Why would you try to suggest that someone who has a negative opinion of socialism to be delusional simply because it's a different point of view from yours?
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.
Don't you see how your own definition of socialism is internally contradictory?
There is nothing contradictory about what I wrote:
Now you're trying to change the goal posts. You said that "The super wealthy love socialism because it's a trojan horse for an economic caste system that protects their comfortable position and wealth....". So did the super wealthy people in Russia love the Soviet Union or not?
Then please allow me to present you the current champion of socialism: Bernie Sanders, a millionaire that owns 3 houses who wants to tax everyone else into the poor house....
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.
He and his wife inherited a home that they then sold to buy another one. He also, like all senators, has a home in DC. Then he had his own home. He owes mortgage debt and financed the homes largely through his authorship. And as a social democrat, Bernie doesn't even have it as a goal to abolish private house ownership. I know you were never interested in what the facts are, but I won't let you twist and smear them so egregiously.
Your fact checking confirmed that Bernie owns 3 homes and is part of the wealthy class, so how did I smear him? What you refer to as a "smear" are just facts inconvenient to your narrative....
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Bernie is worth about 3 mil. It takes a net worth of over 10 mil to crack the top 1% in the US and about 5 mil to make the top 5%.
There's really no need to do damage control for Bernie anymore, his time has passed and he'll fade into irrelevancy.
What does it tell you when donations pour in from everywhere, just to oppose trump? He is so widely hated that they don't need a platform. Their platform is that they are not him...and boom, that gets 60% of the vote immediately.
But 60% of the popular vote doesnt matter.... As we saw in 2016 and 2000....
