"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.

"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.

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to lock this guy's threads?

I actually like a lot of his threads personally. Everything might not be true sure; but most his stuff is and raises awareness. The government really isn't your best buddy.

Yes of course. But to me it's usually very low brow and shock material that you would expect from tabloids. Where is the in depth reporting and quality videos and reading? Or is this simply a symptom of our dumbed down culture and unwillingness to pay for quality. I mean look at what passes for "news" on television now.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I like his thread too but I think that if the gov is not your best buddy the elitès are not your friends at all.

He also has the freedom to disagree or critique his threads and do it publicly.

As long as he isn't breaking forum rules, then one can choose to simply ignore his threads or better yet, make use of the specialized Ignore feature so you won't have to see his threads/posts at all.

Although many of his claims are unsubstantiated and unprovable, I see no problem with raising general awareness about the world around you, regardless of the slant.

The only issue I have is that this is primarily a dating forum, and discussion of the pros/cons of the Federal Reserve Act 1913 (et al.) would receive more rational responses on a forum dedicated to politics and finance, than on a dating forum with an average member age of 19 who come here to learn how to get laid.

From his threads, he strikes me as an e-missionary for infowars/alex jones since very little of the content is generated by his own mind or thought process, and what is has no credible evidence for logical reproduction (reference: contemporary Illuminati & elitist pseudo-scientific cults).
