"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.

Divorce Court: He's too nice

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yeah because Divorce Court is totally real. Even the bailiff is real, he's not a paid actor with a plastic gun. Even the audience definitely doesn't get paid to be there in that real court as hired extras, it's totally not an arbitration court which pays both the defendant and the plaintiff for their appearances.

It's really real television.

Unfortunately this crap is real. Everyone is paid, but this crap is reality. My uncle was on the dang show.

True...or, JUST DON'T GET MARRIED!
There is no benefit to marriage for a man. A woman gets a whole lot but a man gets the ability to have to pay child support for a long time, alimony (Sometimes permanent depending on the time/state,) and loses half of his assets minimum (Circumstances do apply) if, like more than half of all marriages, it goes into divorce.

However if he never marries he only has to shell out child support for the amount of time until the kid is 18 and possibly more if the kid goes to college (A part of the kids FAFSA would get sought out from the biological parent.) Why would a man want that possibility?

Divorce Court is as real as "Entourage". That s--- has more producers than "The Brady Bunch" ever did! Another show that takes advantage of poverty stricken Americans.

You have serious issues if you think that is how things go down. They even sell the rights to such trash to places like Russia. How do I know? Because I watch such Russian language trash! Russian trash is my specialty!

Eh, the Russian version. Gotta love how the guy talks about how he married a virgin (still a big deal to non-Anglos), but she wasn't. Outside of that it is the same s--- as the American version.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The cases are real and the judge are real. But its like a reality tv show they only going show the most outlandish of cases and rarely show the normal ones. Also court is not a lively place to be in its generally very dull and stagnant.

But to op above yeah that woman was worthless.
