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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I was talking to a guy who works for the California manufacturer and he says that it will be available in either 2009 or 2010 for about $20k. Can you imagine a drunken college underclassman driving one of those things? :nervous:joekerr31 said:very cool.
thats what 16 year old kids will be getting in 10 years from now.
Hopefully you're agile enough to avoid it.g g g unit said:as cool as they are you'd get crushed if crash into a 4x4
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.
It's still probably safer than a motorcycle. Seems like it's easier to drive too. I'd love to have one. 20k is way too high though.g g g unit said:as cool as they are you'd get crushed if crash into a 4x4
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Yes, but it's a different experience. This thing isn't about speed. I agree, though...there's nothing like hitting 140 on a rice rocket.Bible_Belt said:Just get a motorcycle. After you ride a litre sport bike, everything else is slow by comparison.
This reminds me of my father's German Messerschmidt. It was a 3-wheeled car that had two wheels on front and one in the back. It looked like a little helicopter. As a child he used to take me for rides around the neighborhood and I thought I was going to be killed each time since it always felt like it was going to tip over. I'll bet it would be worth a fortune today if he had kept it.Ace of Flames said:

Got one, I think I'm gonna get a GTR-1400 next. I've been riding bikes for 35 years, the thrill isn't gone but the new is surely worn off.Bible_Belt said:Just get a motorcycle. After you ride a litre sport bike, everything else is slow by comparison.
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 thought the newer ones were. Maybe it was a different company with the same type of vehicle.bigjohnson said:Sure?
