"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.

Here’s a few things Ive noticed so far:

- More Obese people
- my social media like instagram is being flooded with personal trainer fitness ads. I feel like the government is spying on us, like they know Im a little on the heavy side and a bachelor, why not bombard this dude with these ads?
- bad vibe customer service
-less people outside, in South East Asia, someone was always outside playing or socializing.
- more dangerous now to be driving outside at late hours during this type of the year because of drunk drivers
- The women Im attracting on dating apps are more obese, plumb compared to the petite, slender asian women I had in The Pacific.
- Still a great place to drive and cruise during the day.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Maybe those personal fitness ads are trying to say something about you?

I need to start a workout routine or Im going to gain some pounds out here man, my folks got me some Burger King and the burgers are huge compared to the ones in South East Asia. Brisk walking, yoga and meditation to lower the cortisol should do the trick.

Not sure this makes much sense since the issue is excess calories, insulin activity and has little to do with cortisol in this context.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I noticed meditation and yoga gets rid of the bloatedness right away, especially if you’ve ate some sh1tty freakin fattening foods. Its a good way to stabilize your core again lol

That's just not how it works and this is your mind convincing yourself of something that isn't actually happening.
