"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.

Each of us is unique, with different physical characteristics, abilities, and backgrounds. Some are tall, some are short; some have thick hair, while others are bald; some have sculpted muscles, and some are more fleshy. Some are successful and wealthy, while others are famous and enjoy high social status. This diversity makes us special and unique.


Just as a company must identify the right market for its products, we too must understand what our "ideal market" is. It makes no sense to try to sell a Ferrari to the middle class, just as it makes no sense to propose a Fiat Panda to the wealthy. Everyone has their own target audience.


Having a quality product—namely, ourselves—is not enough. We must also know how to "sell" ourselves in the right way and reach the appropriate customers. Otherwise, even if we are an excellent "product," we risk not finding the success we deserve and may end up living an unhappy life.
The key is to understand our qualities, strengths, and "added value." Only by doing this can we choose the best "sales" strategy and identify the market that suits us best.



Some have been fortunate enough to grow up in a favorable environment with few difficulties and a lot of positive feedback. For others, however, the road has been harder, and they have had to fight to achieve what others have naturally.


I've personally see people perfectly fit into a career and life, like tailor would fit clothes to you. That was kinda incredible to see. Those people worked in their system. So there might be a system for us too. But in this society, it's hard to find other people to TRULY help on identify this.
We might want to do it, but how?
 

"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.
