I want to know so I can see how people compare. Moved to a new place and I feel like I have to start over.
"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 many good friends do you have?

"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.

I have a network of people and used to have 5 really good friends but they all joined the military or moved away. Now I have 2 really good ones and a bunch of normal ones

i used to have friends i considered pretty close, but they changed... i have a few good mates and lots of acquitences, but in terms of reallly good friends, or someone i really get on with/best friend, no one comes to mind. I would love to meet a girl who was also a best friend, not very dj though...

I've got 6 or 7 guys I would consider my good friends. I've got plenty more normal/regular friends, but those guys are the best.
"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.
2 guys who are like brothers to me, my best friends.
one guy in detroit who used to be my best friend.
one guy in canada who is my cousin, blood. my other best friend.
one guy in russia, who is my best friend.
then i got good buds scattared around the world.
I say "best friends" becuase i dont discriminate.. i dont want to pick.

I used to have like 10 or 15 close friends but after high school most went away to college or they got on hardcore drugs and never came back. Now I'm left with like 2 or 3.

I dunno if other people fit into this scenario. I have five close buddies. However, in terms of "normal" friends, I only have about two or three.
I mean, there's always quite a few aquaintences, but that's it.
It's hardly an awful situation, but I hope to expand my comfortably normal horizons sometime in the future.

currently no genuine good friends, many aquatences who probably consider me a friend but if sh1t hit the fan i dont think i could rely on anyone.
Its been a while since i'v had a good friend, one got killed by some drugged aborigine punks, one moved to Europe and the last as another poster said 'changed'.

i keep about 3-4 close friends, that's pretty much it
i count close friends as people i could call at 3am and say "hey, my car died on the highway, can you come give me a jump?"
and if they would, that's a close friend.

“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.
