"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Dark being the key word

the quote isn't "tall BLACK and handsome"

tans just look healthy and are attractive. even then, it's cultural. in places like India, it's completely the opposite and DARK/BLACK is unnattractive and less socially rewarded.

anyway rdx, you're a dipshyt.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Tall, dark and handsome doesnt mean black...

Anyone can be tall dark and handsome....ANYONE

Being tan does look healthier, but there is way too much emphasis on it IMO...some people do it so much that they turn orange...sad.

And stop hating rdx

I have naturally darker skin than most people and even though I'm a regular white guy many people think I'm hispanic, and thus I get all the hispanic chicks. Its pretty sweet.

I guess I can't relate to the problem of having to go tanning since I am naturally darker, but for some reason I don't think looking like you spent your whole summer on the beach is very attractive. You can tell when a tan is fake, especially during winter time, and I think that's kind of lame.

tanning is for idiots. I guess people just don't watch the news or they would have known the links between tanning and skin scancer. Sky high skin cancer rates and people just go and tan themselves being the trend following robots that they are! not only that but we have all this airhead women using those sunless tanners which make them look so fake they look awful!

Our skin gets darker as we age as a result of skin being damaged over time. Yet people go and do damage to their skin by tanning, damage that should happen over a lifetime.

Tanning is stupid and a waste of time. For one thing it doesn't last. Eventually you will go back to your natural color. If a girl isn't attracted to you when you are lighter a tan won't make much of a difference. Stay away from tanning beds for sure unless you want to look like a carrot.

Tanning has recently been proven to be an addiction. These people are seriously becoming like drug addicts and it is extremely unhealthy.
 

"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.

OMG. Will you quit it with this immature bull**** already? You sound like a 4th grader making fun of his classmates during recess...No class...

Dude, what really matters is how you come off. Not your skin color. If you're really worried about the tone of your skin, just cut up and bulk up like noone's business and it won't even be an issue.

Sure, go ahead and bronze up a bit...that is, as long as it makes you feel better. But make sure you are doing it for you. The whole premise of confidence is that you do things FOR YOU. Not because you care what other people think. Make sure you are coming from a place where this is something for YOU, not for THEM.
Personally, I wouldn't do it, because of skin cancer risk.
