"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.

It seems like attractiveness should make things easier but in my case it has not. I have been told many times by many people that I am very attractive and yet I don't have good success with women. When I go out it seems like virtually none show any interest right off the bat. It's just weird having been told that I'm attractive and yet there seems to be no interest. Wouldn't it be normal for women to pay more attention to you if you really are attractive?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

YOU have to approach women.

It's not the other way around. I consider myself good looking yet I have only been approached 3 times in my life by average looking chicks.

I agree that most often approaching will be necessary and that most women won't do it. But it seems like I would notice more signs of interest and that they would at least smile or give some kind of body language clue?

no, that only happens in movies.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don’t know. I get women giving me clues all the time. Lots of smiles, but then I do smile a lot myself and it tends to be contagious. Mostly though women do expect the man to make the first move.

I hear guys all the time with the complaint that they are attractive but girls aren’t going for them. Sometimes I wonder who is telling them that they are attractive, like their grandmother. Being attractive is more than just having a handsome face. It also takes an athletic body, a confident walk, appropriate mannerisms, the ability to look another in the eye without flinching, and control over one’s smile and eyes and all that.

I’m good looking enough that I know there have been women who were greatly attracted to me but never showed any signs out of fear of rejection and embarrassment. Typically if I approach a woman and look in her eyes I can tell if she is attracted or not. Once I start talking to her, the attraction will be obvious in her reaction and the things she’ll say.

Most women have greater approach anxiety than men do.
