"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 treat AFCs?

"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.

On a side note: I had some female uber passengers say most of the guys are jerks, afc's, players... and only 1% are the rare "good guy". And no, not 3%.
It may be where I live. It's like automatic scarcity...way too easy! Like shooting fish in a barrel!

Most AFC won't even consider change until some next level stuff happens to them

Yes, this precisely. They are too wrapped up in their emotions to think clearly.

That's great, but that doesn't automatically make you the 1% rare "good guy".
I dislike the term AFC, because it's almost as much of a stereotype as the alpha male. But I try to treat everyone with respect unless they prove they are unworthy. If a guy has problems getting women, or if a guy is letting a girl run over him, I will try to gently encourage them in the right direction, but I won't get pushy about it. It's his life and he has to find his right path on his own. I can give him a bit of truth, but he's the one who has to recognize it. Ultimately it's none of my business.
"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.

Maybe not, best to let the ladies decide!
