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.
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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
If you decide to go rifle, get a damn good scope and zero it in within a few inches or closer at the Range for obvious reasons…I personally like fishing better than killing birds or animals. Best fishing success is from a boat though, unless you’re surf side or on a good lake dock …
Both are a learning experience, however a good shotgun or rifle are obviously more expensive than good fishing gear, but fish are easier to clean…
The expense depends on your level of involvement and dedication to your chosen sport.
Crossbow is your answer.I've been meaning to get into it. I have a ton of deer that come on my property. I'm legal to shoot and hunt, but I've been looking into getting a bow since I can't use a gun being close to the town.
I have been cleaning deer forever, but I still use Youtube every time I skin one.This fall I'm going to learn how to slaughter and de-feather chickens. I also need to learn how to gut a deer if I'm going to shoot one. There's places around here that will give a live demonstration on how to gut an animal. I'm just keeping an eye out for the next one that pops up.
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.
