"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.

"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.

Interesting trend so far: seem more people have _negative_ experience with online dating sites: which is very understandable: the sites are interested in people who use them and pay them for the use. And who will use them?
Right, the people who didn't find any matches...

Seems onling dating sites are interested in the situation when customers do not find any decent matches.

My comments:

Match - Good selection of women, but the user features are horrible. They let other people know you've looked at them, you can't easily contact people with your profile hidden, and they make it difficult to cancel your account. And no IM.

Yahoo - Not as great a selection as match, but can easily contact people while hidden, plus IM

American Singles - Horrible selection. Never bothered trying that out.

For you DJs that are cheap, er... unsure of the pay sites, WebDate.com is a decent alternative.

Thus small poll shows dissatisfaction with onling dating in general. Sad.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Actually, my preferred method for meeting girls is online. I do really well with it. It has hurt my cold approaches though since I can still get laid without doing any.
