"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.

:crazy: Is it just me, or does anyone else get irritated when ladies ask about your employment and so forth right off the back. Good grief. Why is it immediately after we exchange names the first thing women say is "what do you do " as if it were programmed into the fibers of their cerebral cortex at birth? Sometimes they really pry and nag at it wanting to know every freakin detail...Its like, should I be faxing you my resume and current job description. I understand that its a part of gettin to know someone and I really don't mind telling them, but why does it come to their mind so soon..??? Do you guys give women this precious info at jumpstreet...?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Haha. I wonder this too sometimes. I think if you have some really good C&F responses, you can avoid the actual answer.

Her: What do you do?
Me: I'm a professional surfer... Web Surfer!!! (Major geek points earned)

Yo Flyone & Charm,



Here's a ****y/funny line to say to a woman who interrogates you about your job----And I got it from of ALL people, RODNEY DANGERFIELD.

Woman: "Hey Rodney, what do you DO for a living?"

Rodney: "Me? Oh,...I get GUYS for your sister!"



...I shoulda KNOWN my favorite comedian was nothing but a Big Ole PIMP! LOL

I believe it's: "I arrange dates for your sister"

Maybe she likes you and is trying to start a conversation. She probably doesn't know much about sports, or things you like so she starts asking about your job.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Women are looking for providers and security, so thats why they ask.

I usually answer "Jockey" (there is a track nearby) or something equally ridiculous.

Or "Anything I want to"

Hell ... just tell them you are a mafia hit man! The ones looking for jerks will want to believe cause the idea of violence titilates them and the ones looking at finances will assume you have lots of dough! Of course it helps to be over six foot, well built and have the ability to look "mean" at will if you really want them to stop asking! Funny how none of them ever pursue details if you can fake that look when you use that line. :D Instant subject change ... usually to sex!:crackup:What's even funnier is how even the ones who buy into the story, and there are always a few, still want to hang out!

Well honestly, if she's at that much of a lack for conversation fodder other than my employment ... especially if we've just met, I haven't done my part in finding other things to talk about either! But unless she just walks up and says hey! I like you, what do you do for a living? The only time questions like that seem to come up early is if it's one of her requirements as in: "If you don't have a good job, I don't have the time!"

On the other hand ... I can't blame any woman for disqualifying a potentiol partner due to lack or insufficiency of income early on! Because I qualify my potential partners for compliance with my standards as early as I can too. Unless it's just a few nights of pleasure in question, why wait and waste the time if she isn't going to be what I want?
