"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.

Obama's new health care system is going to increase the already big shortage of doctors, both family practitioners and specialists. It's going to have the adverse effect of decreasing the quality and quantity of service.

This isn't from faux news either, even the more liberal new sources are starting to say this.

If you read the article in full, the conclusion is that Obamacare is going to force the health care industry to act more efficiently and make better use of their resources...is that a bad thing?
 

"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.

My country has universal health care. So, if I don't want to pay for it, and I need a dermatologist, I need to schedule an appointment with a general clinic. They usually happen 1 or 2 months later. Then he indicates me to a specialist, also one or 2 months later. If any kind of exams need to be done, it will be scheduled yet another month later. Then if any surgery or procedure need to be done, it can take years, depending on what is.

Result: I pay for private health care.
