"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.

I got this doozie in my mailbox a few minutes ago:

karma,
hey man i just wanted to tell you that i saw the thread you did over at loveshack where i usually lurk.
i really liked alot of what i saw, so i came over here.
which threads should i be reading to help improve myself?
i am not really having trouble picking up women or anything like that, it is just that i always feel that i have to work on my self esteem. women seem to tear it down but i guess i allow them to when i care about them.
thank you,
(name withheld for privacy)
I'm going to throw a couple of links here to get this brother going. I'd like to see some specific threads from you guys to help get him to a safe, confident place.

And, for Christ's sake, no links or suggestions to the DJ Bible. It's already a standard.

Walking the walk:

Joekerrs' rules of life:

If you have any specific issues brother, start a thread. And don't worry about any type of totalitarianist bullsh!t here. SoSoave respects different points of view. I promised I would not divulge your identity and I would never betray a confidance. Don't fear anything because today is the first day of the rest of your life!
 

"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.

geez more about LS, lol
I don't think I'm a convert from LS.... I was banned from there for months, but I tellya... That place and the people got me to show my pic and start thinking that I can either sit and be shy, or I can get off my ass and just go for it.

Well I went for it, so my stay there wasn't a total loss. This place is ok though... One thing with a forum like LS, is that tons of different emotions are thrown around...basiclt most there are either lonely ,or going through huge emotional voids. It's not to hard to say the wrong thing at the wrong time in places like that and sparks fly.

Also to much time in forums like that is not healthy at all.... at least not for me.

This place seems like a happy medium... I may stick around a bit... I'm new to the dating scene, so maybe I can learn something...who knows, lol
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
