"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.

A couple days ago I overheard my girlfriend and her best friend (Let's call her A)talking about another girlfriend of theirs (Let's call her B) and it was interesting to say the least. B has had a boyfriend now for about 5 years but they've been having some issues and turmoil in their relationship lately and supposedly B had met another man she was interested in and was considering breaking up with her boyfriend. I've heard them talk about B all the time and about how they don't think her boyfriend treats her very well but it wasn't until she had become interested in this other guy that she was considering breaking up with her boyfriend. Last I heard they broke up. This just proves the 'monkey doesn't let go of one branch until grasping for another' analogy. Women can be very sneaky and fake high interest level in you until finding your replacement. This reminded me to always have your guard up brothers. It also taught me another important fact which is win the approval of your girlfriend's friends so they don't talk shyt about you.
 

"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.

I agree about the "Monkey/Branch theory, but I don't agree that you should work to impress some woman's friends. If the girl I'm with puts more stock in her friends than she does me, she can take a fvcking hike.

Grab your balls and quit putting up with shyt like that. Don't kiss ass on people who have nothing but contempt for you.

This is true but I was just making the point to not neglect the friends because they have a big sway on your girl's opinion of you hence the saying 'women are herd creatures'. Definitely don't take disrespect or kiss their asses. I worded it wrong by saying 'win approval'
