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.
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.
OUCH, that must of hurt like hell. I am sure it toughened you up thoughGangster Of Love said:Go get checked by the dentist, he can probably push them back in place without causing any damage, if there isn't already. One or ore of the teeth my die soon, and that would need you to address them them for sure.
I was knocked out by a knee when I was 12, I was playing baseball. I was the right fielder, I dove for a shallow fly ball, and the shortstop, who was about 18 at the time, and I collided and he kneed me straight in the head. I had my entire lower gum "softened" out of place, with tender teeth, and one of my higher molars broken. Had to have a crown on the top, a rooth canal on one of the lower middle teeth, and eventually a bridge, becaue i lost it.
Go get checked and start repairing this as soon as possilbe.
Definitely felt below average.mahon83050 said:OUCH, that must of hurt like hell. I am sure it toughened you up though![]()
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
That's true. Unless, of course, you are WHITE and happen to say that oh-so-bad "N" word.Correct. In the United States, if someone gets in your face and calls you a ********** and then you punch him, HE is the VICTIM, not you.
Words mean nothing. The dude hit you, that is assault and battery in this country. Most likely, a misdemeanor.
99% of the black community needs to "grow the hell up" then, because most blacks almost ALWAYS resort to VIOLENCE whenever a person that is not of color mutters the "N" word.Violence isn't ever justified by harsh words, anyone who thinks otherwise needs to grow the hell up.
Yes, this is probably true.K B said:That's true. Unless, of course, you are WHITE and happen to say that oh-so-bad "N" word.

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.

Now, I'd handle that situation differently:
HE: I'm staying here to make sure you and your mate don't rape my girl
YOU: It's cool bra, I won't hate you, you can stay here if you feel insecure.
pause
YOU: Hey (girl name), you wanna go home with this guy? Go.
That achieves same as him getting insecure and punching you, showing off to his girl, as if he's so nice he can defend her when he gets insecure. She knows he's insecure, and I bet they're over. You definitely gotta fvck that girl more often from now on.
