"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.

If I think about the thing that would most help us grow as men and be of help to us in our lives, it's a "real" group of people.
Come to this video; there are many online communities that want to help men be "men" in the truest sense.
It would be interesting to discuss here the real communities you've found of men you've tried, which are solid groups, and which you can define as truly healthy and excellent for helping you surround yourself with real men who help you succeed in life.

What are they?
 

"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.

I find mma groups, or taking something as simple as morning cycling can help strengthen the bonding process. Lol Did you know in India men who are great friends hold hands in the street, as a sign of masculine friendship and gesture. It’s not seen as gay.

I was in a group of men at church about 15 years ago that was around overcoming personal obstacles and how or when faith began to play a role in the process. Some great connections were made that persist to this day. I can call any of them at any time regardless of how long it’s been and ask for anything. I took leadership positions in it at a young age. I was one of a handful of guys under the age 40. I would recommend.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Clearly a cultural thing. Like it isn't gay for guys to hug here - as long as it's a manly hug, with maybe a good slap or two on the shoulder. :)

But somehow/where you've to find em
if you’re a loner, this website is a great resource. If you’re a little bit on the religious, Conservative side, may I suggest The Christ is King forum which are the members of Roosh’s old forum which he deleted. If you’re a little bit on the lefty, liberal side I recommend ‘ The Hip forums’ which consists of hipsters like myself who talk about a vast array of topics.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
