"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.

Kinda gay I must say
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Oh look, I found a prestigious list of writers.....who were a bit alternative.

Maybe someday you will make the list.
Lol. I'm already on a list.

Don't know why you hate on writers so much since you quote T.S. Eliot in your sig. Plus by dint of you expressing your thoughts to me via a computer you are by default a writer.

My translation of D'anger's post in bold:

Danger said:
Who is hating on writers? What masculine man wouldn't write poems for other men?

I was going to let this go and move on but that poem got to me so much I just had to have the last word. You know, like a woman.

I am so flattered by your obsession with me my tubby little friend. You have hurt me and undermined my fragile, feminine ego so much I just have to find a way to hurt you back. A picture of a random fat dude is the best insult I have.
There is nothing you can say to hurt me D'anger. I, the master wordsmith, am bulletproof to your words.

I have never met a poet who was not a raging reservoir of masculinity. !
There used to be:

Ted Hughes
Dylan Thomas
Hunter S Thompson
Charles Bukowski
Ernest Hemmingway
Christopher Marlowe
Lord Byron (Don Juan)
Sylvester Stallone
etc

It's considered gay to be a writer these days I agree. I will certainly do my best to put real men back on the writing map though.

Having said that lyricists such as:

Tupac
Ice Cube
Ice-T
Eminem
etc were the epitome of manliness so it depends who you're calling a writer.
