"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.

I do not want anything fancy cause I don't have any money. and I do not want to finance anything. I currently have about 2 grand and want to use it to either purchase some used mercedes or BMWs. I already have a deal with some guy for 1800 mercedes C280 1997. I drove the vehicle few days ago and it seems pretty great. I am waiting on my body who is good with vehicles to come check it out for me tomorrow. If things go well, I will get tomorrow, thus if he thinks it is a good deal. Else, I will have to wait to get the BMW 741 which now clocks at 5500.
Are you only going to put down $2,000 and take a loan out for the rest ?

If you only have $2,000, why not buy a car thats actually reliable like a toyota or a honda.
 

"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.

For that price buy a honda or toyota. If you have very little $ the first repair bill on a German car will kill you.
Hell, even my VW cost an arm and a leg when something goes wrong. Don't even want to think about what the luxury brands cost to maintain.

Let me guess...you are still living at home with Mummy?

Did you say you were 28 yrs old????

Bro...leave the Money cars for the guys who have money. 2k is a repair bill on a BMW or a Mercedes...easy.

Stay in that Yugo....You are Broke.

Yugo's are good reliable transpo (cough)....this way you still have some cash to take your date to a Wendy's Drive through.

You can "Super Size" her with no sweat and who knows...you may get a hand job at the end of the date.

Watch out for those Greasy Fingers though...!

if you can't put down 10% of the amount of the total value of a car without even thinking about it, you dont need that car. that' my old rule of thumb when taking ou a loan.

I will break the trend and say BMW. maintence for anything high end is going to be well..expensive. that's a given.

I would say lower end (below 50k) Mercedes has BMW beat. Upper teir ovbiously mercedes. but that damn 760i is a beast.

if we are talking used cars, honestly I think lexus is far and away your best bet.

there arn't many better values out there than say an 01 LS430. it still crushes most new cars today and it's under 15k.

LOL....Funny as Hell!

:crackup:

Yeah, i would say that a lot of these kids are living at home (even at 28yrs old).

Moreover, they are making bad business decisions that will affect their lives detrimentally for a long time to come.

Yeah Bro...go get that Mercedes before someone else picks it up.

:nervous:

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
