"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.

If the government takes takes takes and then returns something, it's not a handout in my book. Government by definition is the recipient of the handout, not the giver. Personally I'm tired of funding its habit, but c'est la vie.

Whether a reparation is a suitable allocation is fair to debate of course. Personally I really don't care; better than blowing it on some boondoggle.
Everything you said makes sense and I do agree that government takes takes takes. Trust me, I'm in one of the most heavily taxed areas and I hate the corruption, inefficiencies, mismanagement that happens with my tax dollars.
Due to my wife having massive losses in her business last year due to the pandemic, we were eligible for the stimulus and we got it. With 3 kids, you can do the math. Do I think it was a handout still? Hell yes. That is my view and I view it in an objective way. Not just when it will suit me or not like some people do. We can agree to disagree...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
