"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.

We all know what the perks of not having a girlfriend is... but I'm curious to know what perks you guys have to having a long-term girlfriend.

I have a brother who's always been in long-term relationships, and I remember his girlfriend before bought him a X-box 360... then the next one a PS3.

I've always been the type to be choosy with who I date, never having a girlfriend. But finally, I have a keeper I think... she's buying me a PS3 for Christmas.

I haven't had an awesome Christmas present since I was 10 or something (divorced parents)!

Needless to say, I'm stoked! Each of my three brothers have a PS3, and live states away, or just in town, just out of the way with their fiancees or wives. I can finally join in with them online!

What perks are their for you guys? In anything.
 

"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.

If all it takes is a $300 piece of electronic equipment to make it worth it to you, then more power to you.

Guaranteed regular sex. No more having to spend hours hanging out in sausagefest bars/clubs
I still went to clubs even when I had a girlfriend because frankly nothing keeps your game tight like constantly talking to lots of women. When you focus on 1 that's when the inner nice guy starts to come out to ruin everything.

Get cooked meals, get your place cleaned, keeps things organised, allows a partnership so you can chase your dreams if you don't have the time and money to do it otherwise, get one more best mate, as already said regular sex.

The perks far outweigh the cons.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

:rolleyes: Don't assume things.

The list was about listing things you wouldn't have the luxury to buy/afford by yourself, or the time to do yourself (as other people listed: cooking/cleaning/waste time at bars).

I can afford buying it, but I cannot justify buying it on my own, although I want one. She gives me the luxury to have a $300 piece of electronic equipment.

I don't get what your problem is...?
