"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.

Hey, just curious if there are any Military guys or girls on this site? If so, what do you do? Where are you stationed? Prev Assignments.. etc..

I am 24 and have been a Combat Medic in the Army for about 6 years now. I am a SSG currently stationed at Fort Benning. Prior to coming here I spent 2 years at Fort Bragg in the 82nd, and 3 years out in Hawaii. I recently completed Ranger school (class 03-09) and completed Airborne school a few years ago. I hope to get back to the 82nd or over to the 173rd in Italy to take a Medical Platoon in a few years..

"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.

I'm an Air Force DEP'r. I thought joining would be a relatively quick process. I was wrong, haha. :yawn:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Apocalyspe,

Yeah the delayed entry program and just getting in, can take some time.. But it will be worth the wait in the long run..

Good luck to you..
Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it.


Now a question for you Military studs: does the uniform buy you any points with the ladies? The military pretty much has Alpha qualities seeping from its pores, so I would assume that ladies would instinctively gravitate toward soldiers.
