"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.

So I have a 20 year high school reunion coming up in less than a month and want to show up and blow peoples' minds. Most of the guys I used to know are married to wives who were fairly hot 10 years ago but are now fat shrews, and with a couple of rugrats. And the girls I used to have crushes on are now the fat shrews with the schlub beta husbands.

I just want to show off a little, as everyone else will be doing. But whereas most people will be showing photos of their 2.3 children and their suburban houses, I want to have something cooler to show off if I can.

I'd love to show up with two 18 year olds on my arms but I don't think I could make that happen (or afford it if I took escorts).

Ideas?

OR... should I go solo, play up my game, and try to pull off a bang at the reunion? That could be pretty fun too.
 

"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.

actually back then I was so shy I didn't get any rejections because I didn't make any plays. At all.
well, you could make those snide remarks as revenge for women being the passive sex that they are, yeah it's the way it is but that doesn't mean I have to like it or enjoy it

"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 get the feeling most people will see through you if you're not actually successful. One of things that are hard to fake.

Do you still really care 20 years later? Don't let the FB photos fool you - those girls are old and probably fat now. If you do go, you need to show up with a girl who is a good match for you, not someone half your age. I decided to skip my 25th reunion which is also coming up in a month. Ideally you'd show up solo and leave with someone from the reunion.

I agree with this.
Besides, I could not be any less interested in reminiscing about or reliving my high school years. I've never gone to any of my reunions.

And besides again, why are you so interested in impressing these people? Who the heck are they, and who gives a rats what they think?
 

"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.

I'm looking forward to my 20year reunion next year. I like seeing the girl whose mom tore my @ss for her daughters $1000 semen stained prom dress. She was pissed that she couldn't resell it to get some of the money back! Lol

I went to my 10th. It was a waste of time. The guys were cool, but the women were more cold and stuck up than they were in high school. I was shocked. I (naively) thought they would be nicer because they matured a bit. Nope.

My 20th is coming up. Unless I'm REALLY bored and the cost is cheap, I won't bother.

This is just my experience. I'm not trying to discourage anyone.

Most of the girls who were in to me or that I actually went with for a while, are like on their 3rd husband (or more), this, according to snooping their facebook. Just discarded the old "hubby" and upgraded to a richer one. I remember one who I knew from 2nd grade all the way through hs graduation. Her first husband's first name is My name, he was from a better prep all-boys school, fam probably had money, he was an IT security guy back when Tech and bein in IT was just sooo hot, right? Well, now, I'd imagine his company downsized or something and she couldn't bilk enough outta him to make their already 3 kids' lives more RICH so she divorces him and marries UP, I mean dude even sets up her little side business as a wedding photographer, but she does not CARE what all he's done for her or tried to do for her AND HER/THEIR KIDS, so she just up and divorces the sorry sob. I think, Damn, that coulda been me, fvck. And now she's uber rich with a sickly rich dude. She's the Reunion committee organizer, and somehow found my email address o_O like wtf. I could care less about the hoe, as well as all the others from HS. I've met way better women in the town I moved to over a 1000 miles away from that hellhole from whenst I came. I could care less about ANY fvckin woman in that entire fvckin town I was born and raised in. They were all mega-jaded. Not like that where I am now. Girls aren't as lezbo here, and are more normal functioning.

If you think you did a better choice than what you call them beta husbands then go and show it to them proudly .
if you think they did better than you then you will be the pathetic Omiga among them and better to not go .
 

"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.
