"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.

No need to split hair.

None of us was present at OP's date with the chick.

But, the fact she was the one that cut the date short communicates that OP simply failed at seducing her, sexually and romantically. Because women who are into you sexually and romantically don't cut dates short, because they don't want to risk losing you.

Sometimes our ego makes it hard for us to accept that someone doesn't find us attractive enough. But it's life. It's an unreasonable and unrealistic desire to expect every-single-one you're going on dates with will fall for you and want to fvck you eventually.
Your point is valid.

Attraction is not a choice it either happens or not.

But having good seduction skills and a good game increases your chances in every date to have a good outcome.

But even you have the tightest game, looks, money and find a hot chick it simply might not work. You can't force attraction.
 

"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.

Advice from the old lady:

There is something to “class”. Having myself grown up in an affluent area around affluent people I’m here to tell you it can matter. My family did not prioritize status, and honestly I didn’t in my younger years and don’t now, but I am cognizant of it, because I’d say it matters to the vast majority of women. And I’m certainly aware of it whilst negotiating social environs.

My best gf grew up in the country club lifestyle. Her first husband was also from a country club lifestyle family, they married and had the country club lifestyle together. Except he became a raging alcoholic she couldn’t be seen in public with and he became an embarrassment to the family, the kids and other things. She is now engaged to (surprise) a wealthy gregarious man who is a scratch golfer and they enjoy (surprise) the country club lifestyle. He came up hard scrabble but made it, and even he wrestles with feeling inadequate at times because he didn’t grow up privileged. She adores him, supports him & loves him no doubt, but her standard included a country club life type man. She actually appreciates where he came from because he had to succeed through his brains, wits and abilities rather than having the advantage of family influence.

And she’s 110 lbs beautiful blond with a sharp mind great figure and fun personality, so she had enough value to be choosy like that.

This girl out earns you, lives in a nicer area than you and probably understands matters of class and taste better than you. How is she going to submit to your leadership if her life demonstrates higher success than yours? She assumes she knows more than you. Can you blame her?

How are you going to support her during pregnancy and early young child rearing years? Yes, this is something young women looking toward motherhood all evaluate very early on. There is no need to continue if you don’t meet whatever standard she has. Accept that and move on.

My father was concerned many years ago when I was dating my first husband precisely because I out earned him. It was his only concern as a caring father. In the end his concern was legitimate. I was more capable at life than my first husband, all things considered.

Even now I substantially out earn my second husband. Our garage looks like the odd couple, his 21 year old Honda sedan and my late model exotic worth 6 figures even though several years old. And I don’t take advice from him on business or child rearing since I have the life experience in those areas, not him. So we have an agreement essentially to stay in our lanes relative to life before meeting. Not every relationship can survive that sort of thing.

The only way you level up is improve yourself and your results in life. The world at large judges you on your results and categorize you accordingly. Women also do this. It’s not a gold digger thing. She wants a man at least as accomplished as she is and that is frankly not unreasonable.
Hi Be Excellent,
Oh Dam'mit,It was between you and a busty Filipina that I was going to invite over for a Holiday but '62 LandRover 11A's don't really cut the Mustard with Six Figure Exotics like yours,still there's only 10/12 bolts hold the top on,you could let your hair fly in the Wind as I took you into town,imagine you were Miss Money Penny in the DB5...Then Again maybe Esmerelda is a better bet?

Busty Esemelda, eh? Busty Esmerelda, the stories we could tell. From Hobart to Darwin, from Newcastle to the Gold Coast there's not a single old rail-ridin' crusty hobo who doesn't have a secret or two to tell about ol' Busty Esmerelda. Except, they're not really secrets, you know, like they were back in the Depression. Now Joey the Kangaroo, now ol' Joey - he could keep a secret. Yes, sir he could.

Remember that there is a guy that does not even have a car. He is fresh out of jail with 2 baby mama's. She let him smash the first week and put it in her raw. She also bought him sneakers.

It was never about your car. She has lost the ability to bond with men and is now using men as a financial utility. The guy she really loved is broke.

Status matters for long term romance. Looks and charisma matter for raw sexual attraction. If she really wanted to smash she would have smashed in his older car.

She would then imagine that she could "fix/upgrade" him later. Women think they can add the ambition patch file to a man like a software update.

Or she would just use the " broke" guy for sex. Im not calling OP broke because he is not. I am saying that this is how women catagorize the men.
 

"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.

Billy,it's not like that at all,you are thinking of Rasamonde,like Don Quixotes Donkey she had been ridden by everyone....No Lad the choice was as between Boadicea and Theodora....The one offering Courage and resolution the other,well in correspondence she mentioned being very talented and very generous....But if you want a real laugh,a story going around my Club at the moment of an Old Duffer like me,forked out for Visa,return ticket and a bit of dosh for expenses....Only to see his Dreams morph into watching as a Young Guy runs towards her in the Terminal and Whisks her away...She was more your Cartamandua!...But you have to laugh!
