"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.

What exactly is our aversion to things like the splits, ballet, yoga, and meditation? I notice a lot of guys don't seem to like all that, but I for one, am open to them and would like to pursue them.

This isn't because women do them, that's just a side effect, and honestly... I'm pretty sure women are sick of guys taking things like that that they have no passion for just to get some ass, all but the most shallow will see through you.

They have benefits, and the heterosexual macho mask is rather... annoying after a while. I mean... hell... we're homophobic about these kinds of things. Why?

*shakes head* Okay done that rant, any insight, for or against?
 

"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.

Ballet is an awesome sport, its the only dance type that I respect.

Yoga is great for your flexibility.

Meditation can help many people feel better.

Whoever bashes this stuff just because its girly is a ****tard.

I too am way into the respect for ballet. I actually did it for a couple years, and it's awesome exercise, and you get to hang around with chicas in leotards to boot!

All kidding aside, if you're a man, you should be able to come off as a man no matter what you do. If you tell someone you've done or do ballet, and they're like "no way," in essence, you've done your job.

No, that's just it, why do you even have to make it manly? Why not come off as a ballet type guy if you want to?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Why make it manly??

Because you're a man doing ballet. Enough said.

If your instructor is a teacher, she doesn't know the masculine aspect that you will throw into yoru dancing.... if your teacher is an effeminate man, he's been stripped of that which makes his dancing strong and powerful.

Those are the things that are displayed, and thati s what is displayed. I'm just saying you need to display your inner self, whatever that may be.
