"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.

So we all have this understanding of psychology behing attraction that most guys and even most girls don't have. Is it ever ok to explain this to women? For instance, if I'm talking to a girl and she's pretending to be upset, is it ok to tell her that she's doing it to get me to be nice to her and that once I'm nice she'll loose attraction? Especially the last part of explaining how our relationship will be affected, is this too risky?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

yes.......two rules...DON'T EXPLAIN AND DON'T COMPLAIN.

ATTRACTION IS FLEETING........SAYING STUFF OUT LOUD destroys your chances of it happening.

If you know how attraction works, then why on earth would you alter your actions based upon her reactions.

IGNORE.........continue to escalate never suplicate.

Sheesh........David Deangelo stuff is needed here

I'll bust on her for it and make it into a joke that portrays that i understand the dynamic at times, but i wouldn't stand there and explain things to her in some calm patronizing manner.

You can't appeal to a woman's logic anyway.
 

"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.

Yeah, mrRuckus has it right.

You never verbalize the matrix. Ever.

It never helps, because women are emotional creatures, and that's a logical approach. Read "The Way of the Superior Man", or if you can't get your hands on it, the relationships area of the mASF forum.
