"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.

Feel free to stop by and post your thoughts. I also wanted to get a discussion going over here about how things are shaping up in western society and where things are going. As the author of the article points out, it doesn't look good at all. Yes, eventually, misandry will be looked down upon and men will start being afforded the same benefits women have enjoyed as special treatment. The bad news is that the system at large won't be able to support the weight of all the extra benefits both genders will be recieving.

I also like the mention of Venusian Arts and the effects it's having on men by making them realize they don't have to stand for being marginalized and empowerign them with choice.

Also, there's a term he coined that I just loved:

In the past, the steady hand of a young woman's mother and grandmother knew that her beauty was temporary, and that the most seductive man was not the best husband, and they made sure that the girl was married off to a boy with long-term durability. Now that this guidance has been removed from the lives of young women, thanks to 'feminism', these women are proving to be poor pilots of their mating lives who pursue alpha males until the age of 34-36 when her desirability drops precipitously and not even beta males she used to reject are interested in her. This stunning drop in her desirability to men is known as the Wile E. Coyote moment, and women of yesteryear had many safety nets that protected them from this fate. The 'feminist' media's attempt to normalize 'cougarhood' is evidence of gasping desperation.
The "Wile E. Coyote moment". Awesome! :D


EDIT
The article in question was this one:

http://www.singularity2050.com/2010/01/the-misandry-bubble.htm

I contacted the moderator (thread was originally locked and left for all to read), but this is what SHE had to say, "I am not going to change the status as each post was riddled with insults and attacks which are against TOS."

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That term has been around in economics papers for a few decades now, but it's pretty apt.

I love the city data forums and was posting there nearly 1 year ago. A lot of level headed discussions without much ego. I didn't really look into their relationship forums since I had SS though.

On the subject at hand: glad to see that the S.S community isn't the only one to see feminism as a negative aspect of our culture.

A woman I used to talk to said something like "feminism has ruined sex and Hollywood has ruined romance", which is a nice summary in my opinion.
