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 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.
They actually all coming from the USAThe common thing is that those poor "refugees" running away from war are all military aged males in great physical shape and clean clothes...al holding cellphones.
Apparently war in africa is better than a solid diet and lifting regime given the results.
Btw dont complain too much mate, wait till diseases defeated a century ago will suddenly appear in your country right before favelas style neightbourhood.
In any major western european capital there are already no go zones for citizens and often even for the same law enforcement.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Our country IS weaker because our dumb5hit Prime Minister invited them. Now we've got 1200 waiting at the border, and 2400 in the stadium. And that's at only ONE border crossing! There's others throughout the country.If they think your country is weaker on immigration get ready for guests.…
That's probably how the place got infested with bed bugs. I'd never even heard about them 20 years ago. Now they've infested probably about 60-70% of our apartment blocks. Diseases? Yeah, that's going to come too.wait till diseases defeated a century ago will suddenly appear in your country
You know, I wouldn't even mind them coming if our economy was good and our deficit was non-existent. We don't have that. We have that fvcking dip5hit giving our money away, introducing a new tax that hurts businesses, and paying fvcking terrorists large settlements with our tax money. Sure, let's house and feed a few thousand extra homeless people too.even Ministers of Haïti came to ThanksUs for letting them in...wtf
Join the rest of the civilized world then whose leaders invite thirld world savages as new citizens that bring increased crime and our eradicated diseases with them. Rape is a common thing in their culture and they do Not care if it's your daughter, GF, or wife.This country is in deep 5hit. Our economy is going to tank in the next decade or so.
Well they invited to fill the jobs that no one wants.... working in restaurants, manufactories, the fields etc...Our country IS weaker because our dumb5hit Prime Minister invited them.

I dont believe someone coming from a third world culture will cease enjoying free food and shelter to come to clean our toilet or serve us food.Well they invited to fill the jobs that no one wants.... working in restaurants, manufactories, the fields etc...
Gotta support the economy with affordable labor
The trouble I see in this area is everyone's looking for a degree. With the baby boomers exiting the workplace, companies should start footing at least half the bill for the schooling to fill their vacancies.If we lack factory workers we should raise the salary and the work conditions instead of bringing expensive dangerous people that wont do it anyway.
Easier said than done...Don't like it? Elect new leaders that don't have their heads buried in their azzes while being stuffed with corporate money, or get ready for immigration that lowers your standard of life.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Yes and No.People would still do these jobs.
I never understood the leftist position of "Need to fill it with affordable labor" (Not calling you a leftist Von, just saying it is a standard leftist point).
How can they hold the belief that we need these people for low wages and affordable labor, while also pushing for $15/hr for unskilled labor?
I think the problem is money management at the top. We've gotten too far ahead of the third world. I think it'd be best to bring us down a tad....and getting rid of lending (inflated wealth) would be a good start to that. I'm not a economist, and I realize the toothpaste is sort of out of the tube.I agree with a lot of this, however the reason nobody wants to do it is because it does not pay enough.
If it paid more, people would come back to it. The issue is that we are using illegals to screw with the free market pricing of labor. The market will self correct, if we allow it to.
But if you do... the employer will lose profit.... and it can come to massive profit... often in construction they use ''illegal or foreign'' to avoid dealing with WorkerUnions (who will ask for 50$ an hour... 3 hours break per hour, 5 guys on the same job etc..)I mean just offer more money to fill the positions you have a hard time filling. Raising minimum wage just further messes up the free market forces.
In many ways.....this is very true.Manual labor is now more valuable than a Liberal job
