"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.

To make a long story short I was having a convo with a 20 year old woman. We were talking about dating and such. Keep in mind I am not interested in this girl anymore than friends.

What I have found out is that women are born with the ability to flirt, and play the dating game to a TEE! They assume we know everything on how to act, what to say and so forth. She was so suprised that most men need to read up on sites like this, need coaching, or practice to perfect our skills. All she said is that girls always have dating/courtship sense. They are born that way and most men arent.

I opened up her eyes when explaining that most men have no clue what works until they do trial and error to perfect their skills.

You are only getting one perspective though. I can garantee that she, as well as most other girls, most likely did not know all about dating just as a natural.How else do women end up with men who abuse them? IF they had this "sense" you speak of, then they wouldn't put themselves in bad situations because they would be able to decipher which men are safe and which men are not, although some are well disguised. I think that women can be very idealistic, as well as men. Women tend to know a little more though because they spend so much of their time talking about dating and such. Personally, I sometimes like to talk about dating, but most of the time Iprefer goofing off with the guys or talking about sports or something.

If women had a "natural dating sence" they wouldn't waste so much money on crappy magazines and 9 out of 10 dating books wouldn't be written for women. You should've called her on her BS. Women are just as bad, if not worse, than men at dating.

No dude, women or men arent born with anything like that. Culture and society is what impacts what she's talking about. All this DJ crap all of a sudden means absolutely nothing if you try dating a Religous chick.

All of this is absolutely true about what women assume that we know. My question is why you felt a need to go further and tell her about sites like Sosuave. Understand that I'm not concerned about women infiltrating our sacred coven (its been done already :p), I'm just curious because understand your frame in going beyond just telling her that most guys are clueless.
 

"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.

Women are 50/50 like men when it comes to determining if the opposite sex likes them or not. However, women are better deal using their mind with emotions than men are, but it still doesn't make them better.
