"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 ready to get laid again. Let's see how long it takes.

Ok if english is not her second language, then spell it out for her.

"Come hang out with my at MY place. Just me and you."

Send that.


Edit: Apologize!? He's not getting ANY if he apologizes! You know how that's going to make him look.

The only way this'll work is if he sticks true to what he wants. Apologizing is going to make him look like an indecisive back-peddler. Big no no.

She doesn't get English that well and American wit, MN, so just make it clear.
 

"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.

But don't think I'm going to save you now from the rest. You are just getting played like a divorced Ken doll. Sucker.

Apologize or die.
Get out.

Anyways, DON'T do this:

Send it. The girl is off her rocker.

Don't listen to her. Listen to your uncle ThunderMaverick. You've got nothing to lose, so stop acting like you do!
 

"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.

I don't listen to Iqqi anymore. I do the opposite of what she says. I sent it.

Good man. Gooood man. =D There will be no backing out on your goofy friend's part.

She knows English well enough to KNOW what you mean.

Edit: I cannot WAIT to her her answer...or excuse.

He is just mad at me.

You had him doing great until tonight.

You guys still don't get it, when it comes to women. She texted him that message today to prove she still has him attached to the line. He should've semi gangi'd her a$$. She was semi interested, because she cared enough to see if he was still on the line. He could've raised her IL by not taking the bait. Instead...

You are just getting played like a divorced Ken doll. Sucker.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE PART IN RED. IT IS LIKE POETRY... IT HOLDS THE MEANING.

I'm not mad at you. You give bad advice and you do it on purpose to make guys on here fail. I just have you figured out now.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Psh! Get out of dodge, bro! How is he getting played? Getting played would have been to go out with her, WITH HER FRIENDS! We all know that if you're even semi interested in a dude you're NOT going out with friends on a DATE.

He's doing what he needs to be doing: Taking control of the situation. You want her to control it? She been doing that for the past month!

NOT ANYMORE!!! STRIKE TRUE, MN!!

Strike true.

Edit: I saw you change the font color to Red, Iqqi. I keep catching you. :crackup:

Edit 2: Actually, did you like my advice to him last night, Iqqi? The "hot and cold" reply?

Be truthful.

I think Iqqi gets a kick out of giving AFC's bad advice and watching them fail. That's why she is here so much.

Well I don't think she wants to see us fail overall. I think she wants to see guys fail when they don't follow her advice though.

Edit: I'd love to keep this text message vigil up, but I have to go. Be back soon! Let me know what she says!

When I said apologize, I didn't mean to her, lol.

He should not have replied to her text today.

She is just seeing if he is still there, and he proved he was.

Guess you guys don't get the divorced Ken doll metaphor.

Your advice was great last night, but now you have shown your weakness. You get too excited by any sign from a chick.

She isn't giving the RIGHT signs. She is still in control, he is still all "when can I see you, come to my place, why NOT?"
 

"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.

Like I said before, he is just mad at me.

He is speaking in unresolved anger.

Get over it, MNIN! SUCKER! (You wouldn't be a sucker if you had a sense of humour, which is your biggest downfall period even in all your threads...)

It was for your own good...

No, she's not in control. She's NEXT'd.

With good reason. She never gave the vibes that she was into him in the first place. She wanted another GUY friend.

We know that a woman isn't going to wait a month to get physical with a guy if she's attracted. There might be special cases, but we don't cater to those unless we feel the woman is worth it.

Her signs of interest were poor. Her signs were WRONG. We're not going to carry the load if a woman doesn't know what she wants.

She obviously wasn't worth the hassle of isolation. She was an ATTENTION WH0RE.

EXACTLY.

But he keeps giving her attention... worse yet, he still wants HER attention.

He is being suckered.

Worse yet, he could get somewhere with this, but he can't see past his own hangups.

EDIT: And trust me, she isn't NEXT'd. And she knows this. She just proved it!
