"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.

Over the last few weeks ive noticed a good friend of mine seems to becoming more and more arrogant day by day its now gotten to the point where i am finding his “banter” irritating and outright ignorant

He’s said some pretty offensive things both to me and a few of our other friends in the last couple of weeks and a few people are beginning to loose they’re cool with him

I had choose to ignore this behaviour until His own brother approached me last night and asked me if id noticed any changes in his brothers behaviour over the last few weeks

From what i can tell The change in behaviour seems to have stemmed from a new girl he’s been seeing .....a HB 7 in her own right there is nothing wrong with her and she seems tidy enough although i don’t believe that she is the perfect match to this guy

i believe my friend sees this chick as HB 10 and he has done amazingly well to bag her ( far better than any of us could ever do of course)

my friend has many qualities but unfortunately modesty & wisdom are not 2 of them

he is acting a fool and can’t seem see what is going on around him if not carefull im worried everything will come crashing down around him and he would have isolated a lot of his friends when he needs them most

of course if i voice my concerns i will be labelled jealous & biter almost immediately ( yes one of those types of guys)

do i have any other options ??
 

"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.

Pride goes before a fall. Just leave him be and disengage yourself from any situation where he starts to brag or act a fool. Soon enough, he will get what's coming for him and be humbled.

When he learns his lesson, he will start to seek out his old friends again and act much better.

Maybe he has got into PUAism and is trying out ****y but funny in a unsuccessful manner?

I would directly tell him what you just told us. A lot of people are oblivious to these changes in behavior and would be happy to change them if they only knew the reality. If you give him positive punishment (in the form of saying, "look you're becoming a arrogant person and it's irrigating me") should give him a heads up, especially if others are also receiving the same vibe.

Right before trying to judge someone, it is my opinion that one ought to stop, think, and then give the person the benefit of the doubt.
 

"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.

People can only give you sh!t if you'll take it. The instant it comes out of his mouth, you have to call him on it, insult him back, or do something to let him know to watch his words.

To me, an insult is like a punch. I would never just walk up to someone and punch them. But if they did it to me, I would immediately strike back harder and be ruthless about it. That's how you teach people to not fvck with you.
