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.
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.
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.
Under contemporary thinking, yes. But from an evolutionary and biological standpoint, we have sex to spread our seed around as much as possible.Kerpal said:No, we have sex because it feels good.
the "we have sex to spread our seed" myth is one of the most wrong yet most believed "science" myths in the world. true with just about all aminals but in particualr with monkeys/great apes (humans are great apes).Rhino said:Under contemporary thinking, yes.

It is still about procreation. That's why the urge to have sex in the first place exists. The social status comes after.backbreaker said:the "we have sex to spread our seed" myth is one of the most wrong yet most believed "science" myths in the world. true with just about all aminals but in particualr with monkeys/great apes (humans are great apes).
sex has for literally, millions of years, going back to as far as ardipithecus (4 million years ago give or take, one of the many forrunners to current humans) it's been proven that sex and petting was as much about social status in the tribe/clan as much as it was for reproduction. female apes looking for a tribe to run with would let the dominant male ape **** her, etc, but he still had to keep the peace between the other female apes in the tribe so he would spend time with them as well. it's was a pretty pimp setup if you could be the dominant male lol. hell lol one of the reasons apes started walking on 2 legs was because it was easer to **** (ture story)
