"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.
I see a lot of people using the term troll..

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

To be fair, I think some SSers are too quick to yell "troll." There are a lot honest, legitimate posts from guys struggling in the game. Sometimes it can sound like a troll post, but in reality, the poor guy is clueless and genuinely needs help.
Or clearly seeking attention for the sake of attention instead of genuinely needing help or having an actual problem.Jaylan said:
They lie so we will pay attention. I consider that trolling. Agree or disagree?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The new mod team is doing a pretty good job about filtering these nuisances out, so hopefully you will start seeing that term less and less.

Well not everyone posts here because they need help or have a problem. Many offer advice and others just like to strike up discussion, in which case attention is desired.Alle_Gory said:
So I cant really agree with your assessment.
Trolling is simply useless comments that add nothing to the general discourse at hand. Things like this include off topic posts, off topic threads, insults and negative/hateful viewpoints.
