"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.

Ran into my first "older woman" from age 22 today

Today I was with one of my girlfriends (ultra-hot 32 y.o. ) in a big-box electronics store, helping her buy a computer. We became separated, and while I was looking at some laptops, a woman asked me if these hp's are any good.

I turned around and much to my surprise saw that she was my first older fb from when I was 22! When I was that age she was 38, 16 years my senior.

That means when I saw her today she was 70! I'm shuddering as I think about this...

While I have largely retained my youth, the years have not been kind to her. She looked every bit her age. I said "Cindy?" and she had a hard time recognizing me. Not sure if that was fake or not. She was always very poised, but I could tell from the way she was fidgeting around that she was freaking out inside.

Lesson: Time ravages women and their market value is extremely limited. Keep that in mind as you work to de-pedestalize women.

Having an older woman is cool when you're 22,but you'd better hope you don't run into her 32 years later. The irony was not lost on me today, as she kept me somewhat at arm's length back in the day, that the tables had turned as Father Time eroded her looks over the years. I felt a little bad for her as my little chickie (well she's actually very tall ) came back to be introduced.

Twas a strange experience indeed. She had no idea who she was talking to until I revealed my majestic presence to her.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wow, your girl is 22 years younger? Nice.

Yes, older women are only good until about age 47.

Yes, older women are only good until about age 30. Then they fall off.

Yea, because there experienced but there looks tend to decline then and by 30 they have accumalated baggage. (kids, ex drama, etc.)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Not 30! They are in their sexual prime at 30!
So they keep trying to tell us, sort of like how only the elderly ever say "respect your elders".

My intuition tells me this is not a true story, though I may be wrong...
