"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.

Men are bigger liars than women (apparently)

A poll says that women are more honest and feel more guilty about lying compared to men (unless of course the women who answered the poll were lying).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8689010.stm

Seems like another attempt to reinforce the idea that women are more virtuous and have higher morals than men.

I should think that in reality men and women lie in equal amounts.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This type of poll is extremely flawed.

Observing what men and women do in real life situations, can you honestly believe the results of this poll?

Not for a second.

It's just the point that the media digs up this poll and shoves it in people's faces to push their view. There might be polls which show the opposite, but they don't get the same attention because it doesn't fit in with their agenda that:
women = good, men = bad

Don't want to sound bitter but this sort of thing is everywhere. I used to believe it too before I realized the truth.

This is a study that relies on self reporting. You have to wonder, wouldn't the group that lies more often be less likely to admit that they lie?

Actually I do believe the results that men lie more (although I agree women are generally better at it). One reason is I think society gives men permission to lie, it's expected, sort of like it's expected for guys to want sex. Think of the stereotype of the guy lying to the girl to get into her pants. This definitely happens, a lot.

I remember a thread talking about a research study showing that college age women actually appreciated deceitfulness in their men as an attractive trait.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Men and women lie equaly but women are the only ones that lie to themselves (except AFC men)

I choose to believe the reality of my eyes than the words of some stranger.

It's three types of lies and if you believe this you fell for the last of them. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Statistics prove there is lies, damn lies and women lies - women are far better at it and mask their body language while doing it....
