"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.

"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.

As much of a d!ck as you may think he is, I'm kinda with Obsidian on this one. Whats the point of asking an internet forum (filled with dudes, no less) if you you're good looking or not?

Don't get me wrong, we all sometimes wonder exactly where we are on the looks scale; but you can't let a few slvt buckets bring you down. If you're gonna be a DJ, you're gonna need thicker skin than that.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The kid is 16. The guy needs to give the kid a break. I don't know about you, but I was pretty mixed up at that age.

The appropriate response to his thread was that he is a decent looking guy and shouldn't be freaking out about his appearance, because the OP is above-average in the looks department, even though he does look a little bit like O-dog. The advice about not caring about your looks is worth taking, but you don't have to be an a$$ with the way in which you give it.

It's amazing how people get on the Internet where their without an identity and they act like complete jerk-offs.

nah dude, you're a good-looking guy.

and i'm not gay!

if anything your looks should be an asset-- but looks are only one factor in the equation! Make the big money, throw in some negs, and the girls will follow!!! ha ha... but seriously, forget about what some insecure bltch mighta told you.

Another female opinion; you are good looking.

Secondly looks only gets you so far, after a certain point your personality is what keeps/gets her interested. Haven't you seen all these below average looking guys with pretty females??

Im worried about something. Sure i can make my inner self better and im much more confident around girls, but theres a big problem. Im confused if im ugly or not. Many people called me this when i was younger. I don't know what to do about, because there is nothing i can do. I have crooked teeth and a big nose, and thats the 2 worse things i could find about myself. Now what, am i suppose to give up on talking to girls now. Im not trying to sound gay by asking. But do you guys think im hopeless. These are my pictures. One girl online said i needed plastic surgery.

Mate you have an african american nose, be proud...and my teeth are more crooked than that and I don't have a problem.

Seriously man...its your ATTITUDE thats the problem: you could have been a LOT worse looking, I'd say you're at least a little bit above average. If you still think the way you are doing now, then your inner game isn't fixed btw: work on that.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
