"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.

Do you think the hookup is becoming less popular because of hypergamy?

I was reading this and it got me thinking:

My contention follows from the fact that vehicles like Tinder and other online dating apps have made it so that there is such a plethora of choices for women that women are actually holding out for that Superman, and therefore are not interested in men who are less than that (i.e., virtually all men). Whereas just recently women took to these vehicles and submitted to an appreciable portion of men that were alpha males, the current schema is that with this plethora of choices, the minimum level for some man to achieve being Superman is so high that now the earlier band of alpha males are judged to not be alpha enough.

my opinion: In some ways this is good as women don't get on the c0ck carousel, and therefore will not have the problems associated with too much pre-marital slutting. The key is that these women would need to hit the expectations wall at some point before it is too late for this schema to be a net good.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

In some parts of the US I get a more responsiveness than others.
