"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.

This is a general question on spinning plates. I have 3 plates I'm trying to spin now. They are different gf material. Is it okay to keep a very 3rd rate plate until something better shows up if I acknowledge that she is 3rd rate gf material and detach myself emotionally from her. She is pretty and great for kissing and dancing but not much else, too prudish to go any further then just some make out sessions.

I think not all plates can be first rate. My strategy would be detach any feelings for her, tell her we're just friends and try to make her go dutch of just do cheap dates. I am never hitting a HR here so do not want to expend myself financially or emotionally that I would on a 1st rate plate that might put out.

What do you do with diffferent quality plates.
 

"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.

So you treat the ones that "put out" better than the ones that don't?

That's playing into the matrix, don't you think?

Why not treat them all the same, enjoy yourself, and not be so focused on the poon? Remember, respect is all.
