"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.

Home values go up over time. House from 2008 have since rebounded and then some. There is a finite amount of land and steadily increasing inflation. Those fundamentals will not change in this lifetime.
Exactly but home prices went down first in 2009 before they went back up. The people that bought at the height back in 2007 lost their shirts and never recovered until recently. A lot were under water and just foreclosed, short saled, or just walked away. You DO NOT want to be one of those people.
 

"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.

Wow...GREAT call on the M3...CONGRATS
I also bought a fixer upper '74 BMW 2002tii 10 years ago. It's worth at a minimum $12k now. If I upgrade a few items, it's easily $15k.

My P-Car is +$7k in appreciation.

Currently working on converting R100 airhead into a cafe racer...

You shouldn’t be buying a house to short-sell in the first place. They go up over time.

No one said anything about buying a house to short sell. The housing market is cyclic and does go up overall but how house poor and the quality of life you want will be determined by when you buy. Would you rather buy at the height or the low regardless of how long you plan on keeping it? Buying at the low allows you to build instant equity. It also gives you more padding for lower payments, avoid pmi, leverage your equity for heloc loans, let's you be house rich, etc.

No one should be buying houses right now as it's at the height.
 

"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.

That’s what you’re implying. Houses appreciate over time due to fundamentals that will not change. How “house poor” is the buyers choice. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. There is no use trying to “time” the market. Short sellers make the money on the purchase, not the appreciation.

If you are Choosing between white and yellow go for yellow.
If you didn't see it in a dark green, then you should look it up.

Lol, we'll agree to disagree. I've had 3 investement properties and owned 6 hourses since college. My current house is fully paid off. I've been through the previous housing crash as an owner and investor. I'm not speaking from the bench.

By your logic, you should be looking to buy a house now while the prices are all sky high.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

How do you run game in gold diggers? Very interested in this
First and foremost one must let go oft the whole alpha and beta mindset. It's been proven women get sexually aroused by men that show cues that they can provide. Red pill community has engraved in men's heads that if your a wealthy guy girls will secretly **** the pool boy behind your back while they milk you dry and that just isn't true. Whether a girl wants to sleep with me because she finds me handsome, funny, or thinks I'm rich it doesn't matter all that matters is if I ****ed her or not. And if the sex isn't good I'm out
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

While that may be true I’ve been poor all my life and get girls regularly. Only once the girls start seeing me as a long term monogamous partner do they start to care about me being able to provide ime

If guys are huffing and puffing over a 60-80k car then I'm sure they'll be doing the same for my $4k bicycle. LOL
You must have bought it used then :up: I have a stable, but I'll never ever sell my Klunker.

You should be able to save a lot. They're out of production so choose a good used one. Facelift or not it doesn't matter. The limited edition ones will cost a lot more but may hold value over time.

Don't expect the AMG's modern amenities and expect even worse reliability. Ultimately it's an aspirated Ferrari engine with all the pros & cons that brings over the turboed AMG.
 

"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.
