"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'm branching this off my other thread about getting her to say she likes spending time with you in silence...

The other side of the coin is how on the phone they "commandeer" the conversation with a long, drawn-out story complete with every tiniest detail.

"Well, Atom Smasher, I had to pick her up at 1:30 - No wait, it was 1:15 because I also went to the dry cleaners. No wait, it had to be 1:30 because I didn't get out of the salon until a quarter to one. No, wait a minute, first I went to the grocery store, and that brings us to about 12:30......." And on and on it goes. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I roll with it for a while until I'm absolutely ready to explode because at a certain point I start feeling like I'm being "used" by her as a verbal dumping ground.

So, men, tell me what if any techniques do you use to mitigate the noise?

You my friend, obviously have a great sense of humor! :up:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

That was probably the only funny part of "Master of Disguise".

But if she talks too much, feed her some sausage. Nothing says STFU like some veiny kielbasa poking the inside of her cheeks.
