"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.

Fellas the weakest part of my game is texting. Everything else is on point….i get choosing signals when im out, usually once I get them on the date it’s easy.

the problem I am having is I keep running into younger women and I seem to be fumbling the ball when it comes to the period of time between getting the number and the first date…

I don’t wanna sound corny, and in general I’m more of a serious dude. Women usually love me once we’ve established a rapport but I seem to be struggling with getting there. It’s like I just stop getting responses and upon analyzing it doesn’t seem like I’m doing anything wrong…maybe I’m not exciting them enough idk. I’ve tried the whole direct and make plans but that seems to intimidate almost.

Any strats? Pointers? I’m 36 and lately the women showing interest in me are around the age of 21-23(I don’t know where these mythical 24-29 year olds hang out I’ve been going everywhere.

Any help would be appreciated, I humble myself and ask for your assistance gents.

thanks ahead of time
 

"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.

"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.

Just like you text women of all ages: It's the 80/20 rules, in which you - the man - only initiates text about 20% of the time, and let the woman initiates at least 80%. You don't over text. You don't double (or worse: triple) text. You don't text her only to say good morning and good night every single fvcking day.

Only logistics.
Very good idea.

This is good.

Those texts are simpy, beta texts.

Women are expert at reading the subtext in messages and from that judging what type of man you are

Remember she has a lot more men texting her than you do women therefore she has literally " seen it all before"

The general advice is too be short and sweet or "direct" but unless the female has a very strong connection or affinity towards you and already knows and understands your personality IRL this sort of robotic approach often fails and leads to ghosting

Ive heard women refer to it as being in a hostage situation

" what time " when are you available " " would you like too " these all have very submissive and demanding undertones and in reality women do not often respond well to them and end up flaking

Then you have the guys who send paragraphs and spill their guts out trying too " connect " again unless your SMV is WAY above hers this is going to get you ghosted hella quick

I'm still experimenting and honestly for text game swipe apps are a gold mine for data because you can test and say stuff knowing full well you probably aren't ever going to see her anyway

You can risk saying things that are very unusual with absolutely no comeback other than does it work or doesn't it work

The secret formula seems to be a mix of aloofness , wit and conciseness , if you can trigger an emotion or get her to qualify herself to you thats even better

If your message meets these 3 parameters you will often get a very fast and very positive response from her
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Do you just call them? If they don’t answer you play it the same way as if you texted and they didn’t text you back?
Call her. Ask her out. If she weasels around it, delete her number. If she doesn’t pick up the phone, you ask her out via text. Same thing, if she tries to play it off delete her number.

if you find it hard to come up with words, use MEMES. you want to text enough to alleviate their anxieties.

Actually women rarely flake on me. Maybe it's because I will talk with them first (phone or video call) before any date. YMMV
Who cares if women flake? That is part of the game. The batters that hit the most home runs also have the most strikeouts. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant missed the most shots. Stop worrying about flakes.
 

"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.

Why would you do that? Anxiety = attraction. Her anxiety towards you is good.

Very bad advice, if you only text for logistics you're actually asking for a flake.
So what? If she flakes, she is not interested.

Short and sweet, mostly logistical, keep it ****y funny, don’t text daily until you’re well established, remember you’re the old dude with the experience she will dig you for that, so take advantage of the preconceptions. Honestly the best text game is mode one. I am serious. She’s young you’re old, nobody is guessing what’s going on, everyone knows it’s one thing and one thing only, so just shoot straight. I’m 39, I had a 23 year old throw herself at me on Friday night, made sure I got her number, it’s not hard.

while I agree, there's also anxiety that cause her to feel that she's not good enough for you aka low self-esteem/holds you in high regard or she wants to know it's more than a one night stand/hit it and quit it situation.

All depends on the OP's filter level or desire to connect. If you're just basing it on her doing most if not all the chasing yes, you can just arrange dates and hope she comes through.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
