"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.

Would you rather:

1. Have a rather unattractive girlfriend who's obese and has, let's say, crooked and yellow teeth etc. But you drank a magic potion so you see and feel her as a perfectly fine HB10.

2. Have a legitimate HB10 which can also seen as such by other men. In this case though she has drank a magic potion that makes her obsessed with you. This means she won't even think about acting up or leaving you.

I'm sure you guys know where I'm getting at. I'm curious about your choices.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Isn't this the plot of Shallow Hal?

Anyway, I pick #2. Because loyalty is by far the rarest trait in women.

Never saw that one. But wouldn't you think that the "ugly" one would be loyal as well?

It's not a sure thing with any woman. #1 also has the drawback of you not seeing reality.
The main problem with #2 is the obsession, that could be a very big issue. But removing the disloyalty problem gets rid of a horde of female problems.
Neither option is ideal, but the rarity of loyalty, plus the rarity of 10s (which I don't even believe in) is too good for me to pass up.
