"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.

Today I decided to go to the mall to have lunch and I test drove a Tesla with a dude assistant. That seems like car of the future to be honest, but would you honestly trust it to drive you to places by itself? Even while you’re sleeping? What do you guy’s think? Is the Tesla the car of the future?
 

"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.

Major inconvenience trying to charge it. It's downtime, and time out of your day. All those tesla owners end up taking uber to charging stations. That's a 20 minute trip one way. 40 minutes out of your life. $20 to $30 each way, so $40 to $60 total. Plus charging itself. Else you, wait at the charger, not just like an idiot, but you wasting your time when you are tired, have to go home and try to relax.

There is nothing better than an internal combustion engine, you put fuel in, and you're done. No range limit. No range anxiety. No stupid downtime.

It looks like an accident waiting to happen to be honest, one wrong pressed button can lead to an accident if you're drunk, sleepy or hung over.

If by THAT phrase, we mean:

"The preferred wheels of bored, paunchy soccer moms who consume 2 billion hours worth of reality TV each week, yet remain oblivious to the Federal Reserve's existence/have no idea what it's alleged mission is"

Then, yep... We can anticipate Teslas becoming to our roadways a pestilence rivaling that of locusts throughout The Near East and Sub-Sahara
