"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.

Guys. I have one piece of advice for you. TAKE A DANCING CLASS!

I signed up for a ballroom dancing class today, and there are so many opportunities and so little time. I walked in and there were about 30 women and 6 guys, including myself. :crazy:

Getting numbers is cake. The kino is already done for you with the dancing part, and it is a great opportunity to joke with the girls, and flirt with them.

The guy is in control for the dances, you can step on their toes, make them mess up, blame them when you mess up, laugh at them, laugh at yourself......I can go on and on about how easy it is.

Bottom line, go out there and do this. I promise you won't be disappointed. This is one class that I know I will be going to every week ;)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Where are you located?

I took a swing dancing class, and there were more men than women, and a good portion of those women were there with their boyfriends or husbands. :rolleyes:

Only thing around here would be square dancing... uggghh...Not a country fan. Of course, if the female to male ratio was 5:1, that might be a different story. ;)

"The Great One"...Oh no, you've usurped my title for Pook!

But yes, I agree, swing dancing is pretty much the ultimate date as well as a good pick-up arena. If you're setting up a swing dance date, the only trouble is that it's sometimes hard to schedule.

On top of that, you can carry certain moves that you learn from swing dancing over to the club scene.

I tried salsa which was ok but then I showed up one friday class at 9 pm (it was an optional class, just for practice) and there was like 14 guys and 3 girls there so I quit. I wasn't going to fight 13 guys to sleep with one of the three girls there.

Are you the same guy? Wondering why you keep on posting this?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

it's in my signature lol

Usually in dance classes, I'll find an excess of girls at the beginning, and then the ratio will eventually move roughly toward a 50-50 equilibrium. This is for two reasons:
1. Girls have trouble keeping commitments
2. Girls like having guys to dance with (Altho girls can dance with each other if worse comes to worse; so this isn't a huge concern)

But you shouldn't bail on something just because it sucks one time. And you probably shouldn't be attending "classes" on Friday nights, either. :rolleyes:

You can do this with things like yoga too, or pilates, or anything in that area. I would walk to the gym on campus and when I passed the rooms where yoga and pilates was done during the day, there were 30 or so women in there. How many guys? Oh who knows, prob none. Now some campuses only have female classes, but these usually aren't. The ones that are, are weight training cause they dont want meat heads in there.

Now most guys think... GAY! when taking a class like yoga or pilates. If you need a credit hour to fill, just want to relax and be surrounded by 30 women, GO FOR IT.

Another tip is to hang around your dental hygiene building on campus or health professions building. Usually there are TONS of women (and good looking ones) in the dental hygiene programs.

Sometimes it takes thinking out of the box in ways most guys dont.

Job wise... Go to a Michaels hobby store, or one like that near you. Walk in, and there are usually MANY girls working there. I've seen it myself. Now dudes might go... That's gay you work at a crafts store. Nothing gay about being one of only 2 or 3 guys with 10+ women. :up: In these cases your chatting it up with MANY more women, and its like the homepage of mere exposure.

1 guy and 30 women... Choose your target.

I work with both male and female, and prob more males, so the hardest thing is when 5 other dudes want to introduce themselves to the same woman.

If you dont have to compete with many guys, you've got it made. When downtime happens at a crafts store, your almost always chatting it up with a woman, and same with a pilates or yoga class. You get there 10min before class starts, and you dont have to worry about guys.
