"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.

Hey you guys.
Do you have any ideas on how to make money?
Something other than getting a job.
Maybe like something where i'm making a profit but also doing something good.

The reason is i need around 5000- 6000 dollars for a violin, and i hate asking my parents to buy me stuff. So if i could raise like $1000 by the end of summer 2008..... and maybe they could pay the rest, but i'd feel better.
 

"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.

My bed, your girl.
A job is the most solid way to make money, but you could try doing work for your neighbors and adults you know. Winter is coming up so you may have some luck shoveling driveways... lol come to think of it, you could rake some leaves and maybe mow lawns if you can find the customers.
There isn't really a lot though unless you're into business meaning basically betting and buying stocks. Make sure to bank all of your money though, it's useless to just be carrying around all of that stuff.

Or I guess you could buy a used violin if you wanted.. lol

But if all else fails, you could join the prostitute industry :p

Haha this post is funny. You want money but don't want to work. Well I guess the only option is either to go to the casino and hope you come out big or steal a violin or money.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

the reason i don't want to work is because i won't be able to get the money fast enough.

and my parents won't let me get a job cause they think it'll effect my grades.

but maybe i could get a job over the summer and slowly pay them back?

I would have suggest stealing the money to but that wouldn't be making it. DUH, if we wants to make money, he should counterfeit it. But wait.... That would be work....

Damn Asian, you're screwed.

Please don't think this is trivial, because it is not. You want a violin, not need a violin. If you think you know this, I say you do not. Anyone that knows this as well as they should, always states it correctly.
 

"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.

What the fvck does this have to do with dating?
Yea

Why are u posting topics like this

Go post in anything else:down:
 

"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.

4, 11, 24, 31, 33, 47 Bonus 15

Those numbers can get you money without working.


A violin? Talk about a chick magnet instrument.
