"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.

Firstly, my sincere apologies to all mods who had to endure reading the "dont use anti-perspirants" thread, while I didn't post it, I did post something out of anger that I later edited but alas I was quoted lol


Secondly, I really think there should be a ZERO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to racism, specially when it comes to things like stuartscott said, that was way out of line, please be a little more stringent with people.

I hate to see the board infused with so much negativity and hatred (all caused by sexual frustration probably) it's a real waste of time, and it encourages others to be the same.

I think everyone needs to contribute a little more to nurturing a respectful environment where people are not attacked at the drop of a dime, where we can exchange opinions and discuss things without letting our emotions run wild.


peace and love to all

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
