"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.

How do you get rid of the need/want to impress women?

This really clouds my judgment, like in business. Like for example, I find myself wanting (take note: I didn't do it yet) to talk business with my people on phone while a chick that is sort of my type is beside me, when I'd rather not do it when I'm with other people, for example, my friends.

This is really stupid. Come to think of it. There are people that will only have to breathe in order to make as much as I'm making within a year. It also makes me anxious on wanting to make money sooner. Like really man, this is stupid.

I don't want to impress anybody, at least not women. I just want to hold myself with a poise out of something that comes from within. Not money. Not wealth. Not women. Something noble and truly honorable or something.

What can you say guys?

Thanks.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to impress women, but you need to do it in a way that's attractive to her. If you've got a kickass personality and a great sense of humour, that's what you use to impress her.

Actually, "impress" is a lousy word to use. "Attract" would be more suitable.

Actually -- and I don't even know what you'll think of this -- but I don't even want to want to attract women.

trying to be flashy will only attract a cetain type of woman, cars, clothes phones only can do so much, being a secure confident man with the success you have is what will obtain women.

so you dont want women then

Yeah but the problem with the success we have is that it could end, be forgotten, or even belittled. It looks to me that it's no different than taking your confidence from your success with women. I mean life is a journey, a life of working, rather than a life of acquiring.
you have to learn not to let that bother you, not everything lasts forever, if you have good investments and are finacially set you wont have to worry, you can live off of your previous success

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
