"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.

In LA, San Francisco etc medical field pays. You can save a ton if taxes don't kill you and you live humble .

Where you guys live can medical folks make enough to splurge? Meaning rent or housing is all I'm working to pay.

How'd Vegas? Social night life is the shyzbnit I'm sure.

Lived in Florida and I sacrificed some things to be beach body healthy so I'm thinking that is the spot for healthy bodies.. Plus Miami is comparable to LA , better even.

Medical field is much like cops firefighters...can go anywhere basically.

But geezuz northern Cali women are on some different weed cuz the egos mixed in with not having a beach body because the weather is not hot so fvck it why even make the effort....wtf

I'm tired of being the healthy sexy older ish dude who still had youth superficially.
Granted, I can be a bit boring since all I do is eat well, work, and exercise, and sleep.
Then party.

Northern Cali is full of computer guys...and girls..
A sedentary environment like that breeds not triceps or muscles.
A city who's majority is fit people in their 20s and 30s is what I want.
Is there a city in north America that embodies that? If not I'm seriously thinking Brazil or Colombia cuz at least my dollar will go far in a place that has no jack in the box.
Not a rant....just want more bang for my buck
 

"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.

Some ideas:

Austin
Miami
Chattanooga
Fayetteville AR
Raleigh/Durham NC

Las Vegas is also a great town to reside in. Many of the venues have "local" nights where residents do not pay the tourist cover or tourist prices. And of course the shopping, entertainment and diversion options are world class. Generally a very clean city once you get away from the strip. Until they run out of water things are great in the desert.

Just realize that if you do not have discipline regarding certain behaviors Vegas especially can be your worst enemy. I trust you do not have this problem but Vegas slays many newbies on the altar of decadence.
