"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 used to go on AskMen, and I'm glad I was directed to this site.

Every so often on there you got the 'woe is me' threads, but the replies are often condescending and harsh, and its the OP who is told he needs cognitive behaviour therapy et al.

Whilst a lot of this OP's mindset is down to negative outlook and low self-esteem, other people are morons though. Society has got to a position where you have to risk overwhelming ridicule and cruelty in order to find love, as the public is desensitised through the quality of our TV. That awful 'Take Me Out' show, with all its double standards is a document of that, where groups of girls will criticize men in a way that it would be totally unacceptable if genders reversed.

Who is really at fault?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
