"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.

When I say waste, I'm speaking on something that to you in the end was worthless, bad deals,women etc.

I will go first, I figure I have blown at least 5 to 6 grand easily. I'm also 27 years old
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I have some shoes I payed 300 dollars for on ebay in my closet, and I hate them. I keep them to remind me how foolish I can become with my money, now I rock cheap shoes like vans

not a lot, maybe around half of what you mentioned OP, but it's still more than i would've liked to & more than i would like to think about.

i'd much rather think about how to make more money than to think of the little i've lost in comparison to that.

I think i have easily blown at least $20,000 when a bit younger but i am not that worried - it seemed like an okay thing to do at the time but maybe not that good now. I have no regrets. :whistle:
 

"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.

Biggest Wastes of Money

Fast Food- When I was younger up through my late twenties I ate fast food several times a week. Probably blew several grand on something that is bad for you.

Wasted thousands repairing a car that wasn't worth it.

Taking women out on expensive dinner dates that went nowhere.

Excellent thread I think it goes to show that although blowing money wasnt such a good idea at the time it allows you to learn from future financial mistakes. Now just learn and improve on them. Heres mine:

Fast food - equates to my lazyness which can be solved by buying food and cooking in advance. Hell after looking at bank statements it ends up being $3,000 just from eating out.

Electronics - more so for the excitement. (Iphone, Flat Screens, Ps3's etc) problem is that id get so bored I would end up selling stuff off

Gas - driving friends around, making double sometimes triple trips etc
It doesnt hurt to say "NO"

9/10 making any kind of purchase comes down to wants vs needs

I "WANT" nice things but I "NEED the basics

"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.
