"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.

Hi my name is Steve, I am a fun loving guy who admires honesty, commitment, and monogomy. I have a great sense of humor and love to meet new people. I have one 7 year old son, I get him on weekends and he means the world to me. I am:

Smart
Sweet
Love camping/fishing
Into going out to eat or see a movie once a week
Good Moral Values
Funny
Charming
Romantic at heart
monogamous
Christian
Have 5 tattoos and pierced ears (although I hardly wear earings)

I am looking for a girl who will be my other half someone who when we are old and grey our love is still fresh and explosive. I will be 30 this year and feel its time to settle down so if your big into the partying scene I'm probably not the one for you. I enjoy the simple things in life and know there has to be someone real out there for me that's down to earth and is looking for commitment where we are best friends, can tell each other anything, enjoys long walks/talks. Likes to cuddle or just snuggle up with a movie on some rainy days. Someone I can hold hands with in public places and whisper sweet nothings in your ear :)

Bottom Line: I am a man but I have feelings and am not just a piece of meat lol.

Feel free to message me if you want to know anything. Even if you just want to be friends or need someone to talk to send me a message and I will respond ASAP.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Hmmm....if I was thirty, had a kid and was looking for someone to get into a serious LTR with you would find me on local wine connoisseur forums and hitting up any wine tasting events I could find!! Even if you don't like wine, I think it would be a great place to meet women in their late twenties/early thirties. :) Also gives a great excuse if you have a real "nice" wine at your place that you would love for a gal to try some night. ;)

Honest opinion? My rating is "Desperate".

All that talk about "Searching for my other half" "Looking to settle down" "Holding hands, whispering in her ear" You sound like the loneliest person on Earth.

It sounds like if I were a girl, and I met you, and had a good time, you'd probably propose to me within a month. If I saw a girl with a profile like that, there's no way I'd date her. Too much pressure. It's one thing to date for a month or two and see where it takes you. It's another thing to be looked at as someone's potential "other half".

Stop talking about all that romance novel stuff and just talk about how much fun you are. Stop talking about all the imaginary things this hypothetical woman will add to your life, and talk about yourself as if your life is already great.

You like camping and fishing? Describe yourself as an outdoorsman. Talk about how you could spend hours wandering around the forest getting dirty. You want to talk about your kid? Talk about how awesome he is, and how you love playing catch with him. Talk about how you helped him reel in his first trout.

Oh, and words like "Smart, funny, charming, sweet, romantic" mean nothing. Anyone could copy and paste that sh*t. It says nothing about you. Is someone gonna describe himself as "dumb, humorless, and mean"? Talk about qualities that specifically belong to you. Not random adjectives.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Without trolls this forum would cease to exist. Remember that the next time you open a thread. BTW, did I ever tell you about clearing six figures today on my short call with a small utilities company out of Costa Rica? That pushes my earnings to over $5 million this year.

No you didn't! And shame on you for not mentioning it earlier.

I agreed with this interpretation.

But if you are getting a lot of responses and banging chicks, who cares?

You are in the wrong site. This site is about f0cking as many girls and spinning as many as you can at the same time.
