"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.

Although I am a proponent of online dating, I always questioned the appeal of just hanging out in chat rooms. There's a huge difference between using the Net to make an initial connection which leads to a face to face meeting and just hanging out and chatting as the primary form of personal interaction. It's like going out to a dance club just to watch other people; but I digress...

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

i went to the link and i read it and this is what it seems to be:
1. bunch of people on a chat room venting and spilling their guts as normal
just like in any chat room
2. regulars who chat their when they have nothing else to do make friendships with some and tease others. just like in any chat room.
3. one guy says the other guy drove to his state to take pictures of his home and post them and go to the court house to find dirt on him, the other guy says he didnt. either way, court house records are public and taking a picture of a house isnt a crime either.
(not that i want someone doing this to me either)
4. now the other guy wants to countersue for things said about his grandma dying.

moral of the story:
dont tell anyone online things you dont want them to find out and say later or tease you with, and as always chat rooms have trolls.


question of the story:
who really has time to drive 8 hours to take pictures of someones house and post them online, just to be an internet troll???
