"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.

"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.

If these forums force me to advertise my age to the world, I leave. This idea would only be OKAY if it were an optional, but then the point of it all would be gone.

Ok no need for melodramatics, Im sure you wouldnt be "forced" to disclose your age, hopefully if it was implemented it would be optional like your location.
And if it was optional i dont think the point of it would be gone, most people in these forums seem to be honest, well adjusted people that dont seem to care much if someone can see there statistics, and probably wouldnt think showing there age is some kind of massive traumatic issue.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I don't like this idea, but if it is implemented, at least make it OPTIONAL.

Hmmm!

Probably because he's an honest guy, ... and posting his real age (50) would make him lose the god-like credibility he has carefully crafted on this forum!!!:D

I, for one, am against this idea because I think there might be better ways to acheive the same goal.

People are going to be lying about their age left and right. It would be too easy to circumvent.

Furthermore, age is just a number and not always indicative of maturity. Many 25-year-olds act like 15-year-olds.

Like I said, if you're going to implement it, make it OPTIONAL.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It is optional. Hell if you want to know how old someone is, look in their posts. People invariably make some reference to it.

Not sure why Demon is so against it. It is kind of womanly to worry so much about your age.

The probability of this being a good idea died when we realized that we are humans and we lie.
And I can see that you're the first to do that. 24? Pffft, didnt you say in a thread last year that you were "fresh out of high school", looking on how to pick up college chicks for the first time?

So you didn't post this then?

Does anyone who have been to junior college have any advice for a freshman? I'm just out of high school, two years earlier than normal, and I have no idea what college girls want in a guy.

In high school, it was mostly about sex, drugs, and looks. What is it in college?

Please post your tips, advice, etc. And I mean the whole nine yards from what to wear to what to say to how to act.

In this thread?

Demon, what are you some kind of wierdo?

No need to lie about your age. Seems like the edge got you good....
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
