"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.

Added a kid pic of me catching my very first fish I was maybe 5 and have an adult pic of me with a nice tuna I caught not too long ago on a charter. Got some nice interest and they all mentioned the kid pic saying they had to message me after seeing that. Wanted to share this little discovery with the forum, maybe it will help some of you out.

TL: DR - Chicks dig kid pics...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yeah man, thinking about it a bit I would imagine it helps women feel a little more comfortable about meeting a stranger online if they can see a little bit of your history in the pictures first. One of my bites after adding the pic was the cutest girl I have chatted with in months.

I'd love to hear if you guys noticed good results...
 

"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.

I made the change a day or two ago because things were getting a little dry. Even had a decent albeit older girl initiate contact last night. And two other cuties replied since then too. Before all I was getting was women about two notches under bar lol.

America is best
Ever since I tweaked my profile (thanks to sgtsplackers advice) I pretty much always get responses.

What sucks is I have no money, and no car.

I have these opportunities but, I know its fine to be not rich. But its nice to at least have a car, and a little money.

I know for a fact some of these women are interested, but what am I going to say? "pick me up and buy me dinner".

That worked with my ex for like two years.

Well lucky my school refund is coming soon (and a fat one at that).

Any way chicks definatley dig the kid pics. They like cute stuff, and the good thing is that a kid pic is cute, but your a grown man so it's away to appeal to their desire for cute stuff, with out being cute and therefore dlv.

I was wondering the same thing.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
