"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.

"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.

It's a joke. Don't worry, drive-thru ATMs have been around forever everywhere.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

No, ours are called mobile phones as well. People call them cell phones anyways because they used to be made with cellular technology. Now they aren't so they're technically called mobile phones, but people still call them cell phones anyways.

Australia we got to walk from the car park to the ATM aswell.. (but we're not all obese :))

We have Footpath (pavement/sidewalk), mobile phones, taps, and we go to the toilet NOT the bathroom.

EDIT: unlike people from the UK though, we do actually go to the bathroom aswell as the toilet. :)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

we exists everywhere
here is onother one

A big ship sank and the only survivors were 3 blondes! They end up on a small island which was not very far from coast, as in the night they could see the lights of the town.
But they didn’t know how to swim to get there.
All of a sudden, one blonde found a magic lamp and a jinee appeared “in a blinding flash of light”!
The jinee said that he could make three wishes come true, so the first blonde wished:
-I want to be smart enough to get to the town.
The jinee transformed her to redhead and she swam across. The second one wished:
-I want to be even smarter to get to the town more easily!
The jinee transformed her to brunette and she get in the small boat on the shore of the island and she get across. The third wished:
-I want to even smarter to get to the town more easily!
The jinee transformed her to man and she get across using the bridge!!!

Drive through atm - that is just laziness to the extreme. If i want money - i just drive down the road to the petrol station, get out of the car and go inside and get it out of the atm, besides there are no drive through atms around that i know of.

well i can't make it to the bank because i work full time during the week and the banks are not open in weekends and i am not wasting my whole lunch break going down the road to the bank so i dont have many other options. If your acount is always empty maybe you should get a job and use your own money and maybe the cops won't always be after you.

I think something like 60% of australians are overweight. I'm not fortunately however. Maybe not obese but still overweight.
