"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 question sometimes we have to ask ourselves and too much of anything is a bad thing...
on that note I've been wondering when I am safe or when I'm just being an arrogant, prideful b*****d?

I've gotten told many times by people like you have a ****y attitude, you are arrogant, etc. I've been told by a former bestfriend who was in a fight with me when he would just throw out insults and long story short just deleted them and him out of my life. I've also been told by girls that i am ****y. i'll give the conversation with one girl next post.

so my question is, have i crossed over the line between healthy amount and excessive amount of ****yiness?
 

"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.

JBlitz59 (3:17:16 PM): im a ****y bastard

JBlitz59 (3:17:48 PM): haha
HB 7 (3:18:00 PM): its not thatttt good of a thing to be haha
JBlitz59 (3:18:22 PM): better than being down and not having any self-esteem
HB 7 (3:18:36 PM): right but theres a difference to confidence and being ****
She meant *****y but changed the subject by saying something, 'oh have something on your mind??'

that's an example of things i could typically say

what do you mean, trying too hard?

you mean I'm not letting her speak enough by overtalking?

i'm here to improve myself so any way i can narrow down the actual problem, the faster I can find the solution.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is such a specific question that it's hard for any of us to know whether you are or aren't too ****y. This is something that you have to personally calibrate based on what you personally believe and what you personally experience. When a girl is explicitly telling you that she doesn't think that the whole "****y bastard" persona is the way to go, it might be time to listen. If it happens on a consistent basis, then it's definitely time to tone it down.

thanks, i appreciate the response. I COULD ask my friends, but without knowledge of a 'healthy' amount of ****yiness they would automatically label it bad. Only a DJ could correctly interpret this. Then again, most DJ's would have to personally know me to give a correct answer..

All right I will solve it myself though. As one said in the DJB "Nothing I can't handle."

in general, it is better to be too ****y, than not ****y enough. But yes, try to tone it down a little, and be a little more serious. And dont call yourself ****y. Something about that doesnt sound good.

A good rule of thumb is to taper off the ****iness the more time you spend with them. It is attractive to them at first, but they need to get to a point where they're able to take you seriously, or they will bail on you. Always, be playful, however.
