"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.

No disrespect to anyone, but I think it's safe to say anybody that's on here on a regular basis that's not a moderator etc. is probably not doing too well and is probably a cloaked chump. Maybe Im wrong but I know I only come here when I've been fumbling to refresh my memory. When things are going smoothly between work and play I'm too busy to be sitting on the internet unless I'm on myspace or blackplanet trying to do some virtual pimpin.
 

"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.

I generally think that too.

But I am sure there are exceptions... like me.

I have only been coming here coz I am at work and in my industry everything grinds to a standstill at this time of year (I drew a short straw to be on the skeleton crew) with everyone going away on Holidays.

I don't have much to do but **** around on the net.

And yeah, I'll be gone as soon as work picks up.

There is no ****ing chance I would be coming here in my own time. I don't think many guys who are macking it would be either.

Generally these guys who have one thousand posts next to their name must either have a boring job all the time or full of **** when they boast about all the chicks they have nailed.

I agree with both of you

This is like a brotherhood, I love it and its very helpful. However if you've got 5000 posts on here and you've been coming here less than ten years (if this site has been around that long) and claim to be a "Master Don Juan" I have the sinking feeling you're not practicing what you preach. Everybody goofs off on the internet from time to time but that's pretty pathetic.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
