"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.

First: Over the last year, I have progressed socially and I have this site to thank.


The question: For those of you who have progressed, do you ever get mad at yourself for being naive, foolish, and an AFC for all those years. I have met great girls over the last year and I kick myself for staying around with the ones who I LET bring me down.

Is it normal to have some self-loathing?
 

"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.

Hell no man. Being angry, frustrated or regretful is a waste of your time. Instead of sobbing or regretting things you've done in the past, you should embrace them and learn from your mistakes! I was a big time AFC years ago, but that period is over, and looking back on it, it taught me some skills I never would have learned without that period in my life.

Life is too short to regret things. Instead of focusing on the past, focus on the future! Ask yourself: "How can I do better", instead of "Why was I such a loser?". Keep asking, and you'll become even better than you are now!

No, it's a waste of your time, and an AFC trait. It's a sign you lack the tools to fix yourself and ultimately become a man. Because a real man, he accepts himself and loves himself over anyone else!

Naa I don't. I wish I knew what I knew now back then but there's no way you can ever know everything. All you can do is do the best you can with the knowledge you have at that time.

Don't look at the past man. Cut your losses and make from now until the end of your life the best it can be.
