"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'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.

Haha, step down from your soap box.

I never said anything about CHOOSING MY PROFESSION in order to get more social proof. I only related my EXPERIENCE, and asked if anyone else NOTICED THE SAME THING.

Perhaps read a little more carefully next time and quit assuming things.

the fact that you even started this thread suggests that you would alter your career path if certain hot women thought it was more accectable

I'm not on a soapbox. I'm trying to SAVE YOUR DAMN LIFE.

I'm sure that any researcher who is studying live incredibly contagious and deadly infectious diseases in the laboratory would beg to differ with you.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

I definitely don't understand your logic there, but to each his own. If I started a thread about what everyone's favorite color was and how it made them feel... does that mean I am suggesting I might change my favorite color? No, no it doesn't.

I assure you, I won't be changing my PROFESSION for anyone other than myself, but thank you for your concern.

becuase you are a dumbass. that's why. and you know good and damn well what the intent of this thread was, and are to ***** to admit it.

my problem isnt' with you.. it really isn't.. I just say what's on my mind.. dont' take it personal.

My problem si with people who have this wealth of informaiton here and don't use it. dont' learn from it.

The fact that you even had the nerve to say:

it takes a much larger set of balls to be acting, singing, and dancing in front of people then it does to say, look down a microscope in a laboratory (nothing against science, at all! just an example).
shows just how little you get it.

It takes balls to succeed in antyhing. Lots of hard work, dedication, studying, failure, nay sayers and pain.

Really? What was my intent, then? Apparently I didn't convey my REAL INTENT, and it came off to you in a completely different way. For that I apologize, really. But please, don't assume you know what my intent was; YOU ARE NOT ME.

Don't worry, I'm not taking it personally. Actually, I UNDERSTAND where you are coming from... I'm just trying to make YOU understand that what you are accusing me of is simply NOT the case, as far as my intentions/curiosities were concerned. You'll just have to take my word for it man, quit trying to shove assumptions up my ass.

Alright, alright I am perfectly HAPPY to admit that that was a HORRIBLE example. My apologies. It's just the first one that popped into my mind, and on that note, it completely reflects MY experience. I've been behind a microscope a few times, and for ME, it takes LESS balls than DANCING in front of 2500 people in an auditorium. It was my bad to not take into account other peoples perspective on that particular example.
