I was just thinking, what would we do if we didn't have beer in this world?
It would be unthinkable...
It would be unthinkable...
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.
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.

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.
The Irish would have taken over the world. Fat chicks would be gone... no fat dudes to mate with them to have fat babies... oh I hate fat people btw. :trouble:TheMainMan said:I was just thinking, what would we do if we didn't have beer in this world?

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.
Yes I'm pretty sure martini, absinthe and yager bomb are chick drinks... American beer look and taste like warm piss anyways. The only good beers are in Europe.foxhound87 said:Beer is beautiful, I can't beleive that people here don't like it. I suppose most of the guys here drink "chicks drinks" :crackup: But yeah if beer didn't exist the world would be a much nicer place....

No sh't... wow did you really graduate high school? So what's your point? Importing European beer will make it American? It doesn't matter if you import it... it's still EUROPEAN BEER. Maybe I should spoon feed your tiny little brain by adding all good beer comes from Europe. Seriously piss off...Deus ex Pianoforte said:Astonishingly enough, America imports European beer.

Never tried it, sounds good though. I still think Germany has the best.Serialized3 said:http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/
Delicious "belgian white" beer from the CO. I usually have at least a twelver on hand here.
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.
