"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.

It's also funny to witness the irony of people complaining about state surveillance and control, but also wanting to protest or revolt and paint a huge bullseye on their backs. Gov't can't watch everybody (this is a man-made myth), but it'll gladly track anyone who agitates enough for attention.
This very forum is designed to 'wake up' unsuccessful men. When we provide the tools to help our fellow man become more aware, he is more likely to change (not always of course, but more likely). This same principle also applies to those that believe their agenda-driven media, government etc...

If we Independent thinkers go about our way and without providing an awareness to those that may be on the fence....
then they are more likely to become pawns for the media, govt etc... (just as forum members here were pawns within a unhealthy female relationship).


As for social media...nobody forces anybody to use it. This is like obese people complaining about grocery stores selling junk food.
If 'the powers that be' are using social media to influence, and we sit back and do not counter with alternate views... then are we part of the problem or the solution?

If you feel unfree, you've built your own prison. But thankfully YOU have the keys, no one else.
While some of us may feel free, we are also surrounded by a majority of 'prisoners' (willing to appoint their government as their warden). I prefer to provide them with 'keys' to additional ways to think about things.
 

"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.
