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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Surely you mean a post-photoshop version of him?mrRuckus said:Show me her instead of the post-photoshop version of her.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Well hell, I didn't know that. I just looked at the picture after assuming it was just surrounded by you go girl jibberish.Bokanovsky said:Surely you mean a post-photoshop version of him?
The LBTG community is now deemed to be protected under the political correctness umbrella. Thus, they are considered beyond criticism. If you are critical, you will be treated much like a backward thinking Neanderthal racist bigot. I'm almost surprised my comments are not censored on this forum for not being fully supportive.Maximummax said:the interesting thing i found is the people supporting that "thing" and praising it as some kind of heroism.....
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.
I saw a recent interview where he/she/it said she intended to keep it, at least for now, as long as it doesn't get in the way. At this point, he/she/it saw no reason to get rid of it, but things could change.glass half full said:Does he/she/it still have a wang? This might make for some interesting restroom visits from others...lol
