"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.

So, I'm pretty good friends with my friend's girlfriend. We kind of give each other tips and stuff when it comes to relationships.

We got into the whole "It's harder for men to attract women than vice-versa" thing. So I, being completely blunt, explained how attraction works for males. We basically look for a girl that we find amazingly attractive, and we decide to go for her. After a while I explained that, as time goes on, attractiveness becomes a little less important and more personal and emotional matters come to hand, but that beauty is what first attracts a guy.

Now she's pissed at me and all other guys who think this way.

Was I wrong for doing this? I'm not talking about whether this will hurt me getting with her, as I have no intention of that, but was it wrong for a friend to be completely honest with a friend?

lol, please, don't be sorry.

Simply, her vanity is butthurt - goes double if she's HB6 or less.

A good rule to remember.

Never talk about how the game works with women.

Even if you get your point across you lose.

Rule #1 You do not talk about fight club
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Wow, she needs to get off her high horse.
I usually use my wolf-cow analogy: Guys are like wolves, we gotta chase our prey and hunt them down. Girls are like cows. All they gotta do if they want to get hunted is stand around looking delicious and go "moo".
Always gets a laugh. Maybe it's just how you present it.

My experience tells me the absolute opposite. It's a prime subject of conversation and one i'd be hard pressed to avoid given the nature of my job.

What I wouldn't have expected a few years ago is that they mostly shere the same views. There's no big secret, that Fight club analogy is a bit childish.

"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.
