"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

No way man... even in a perfect case you'll be sitting at 52 wondering why the heck you spent 30 years with an aging woman.

I have hesitated to some great levels in dating a 30 y/o with me soon to be 22. And that's with her looking 23, fun girl, and plenty of physical action. There's no way I'd ever consider any older. It's already the consideration of - when she's 50, I'll be 42 and in my prime, she'll be 20 years past her prime. That's simply the reality of male and female life.

Don't do it. You'll regret it. You'll think it's great now - and then it's going to take a dive. She's 30 freaking years older than you. She could have kids older than you and you'd never even know because they could be cross-country living on their own with their OWN kids.

Actually I just now remember that she is 49...still no go? Dunno why I was thinking 52.
You sound like BibleBelt.. first he was repulsed that his girlfriend was 80 lbs overweight, then he realized she's "only" 40 lbs overweight, now he's realized he loves thick women!

Next week she'll be 45 years old. Maybe in two months she'll be your age!

CRUCIAL FACT OMITTED!! That changes everything. WIFE HER UP!!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Totally a troll. But with an absurd amount of time on his hands.

Do you think he's stuck in a wheelchair or is he one of those 1,500-pound dudes who can't leave the house?
