"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.

Shaking a woman's hand when you first meet her

"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.

Basically what I do is kind of hold my hand at maybe like 70 degrees instead of straight up and down like you would with another guy. So their hand is kinda on top of yours in a way, I dunno why I do it I just do haha.

Has to be mildy firm, but not like when you shake hands with a dude where you both try to squeeze as hard as possible to see whos stronger haha...

I think you might be thinking about this to much? shes a person just like you so just do what you feel is appropriate.

This isn't rocket science. Yes shake her hand, however be a bit gentler than when shaking hands with a guy (don't be flat, but don't try to squeeze her hand off). :cool:
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'll shake a woman's hand out of the blue while she's sitting down and I'm walking by her. My handshake with a woman always is inacted by turning her hand over under my hand as if to kiss it but I never kiss it like in the movies etc. I just turn it over. Women Remember that and think it strange or unusual, and usually follow me around after that or remember me.

Hmmm well from my experience most guys do it so it would follow that most guys who are successful do it, but so do the other 99.9% of guys who suck at life. Personally I find it to be a little too familiar/friendly and can think of better things to do with my hands while talking to a girl.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When I shake a girls hand, my palm is completely facing straight down.

So the girl actually has to turn her palm facing up to shake mine. lol :cool:

That 70 degree angle you do? Stop it. Body language experts suggest that the person with the hand on top is the dominant one in the interaction.. subconsciously your giving them the control in the interaction.

Sorry if i went bill nye the science guy just a interesting fact i read..

Do it. Don't give women that special treatment sh*t.

Extra points if you kiss it with no fear.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I like to do the two handed handshake... shake her hand with my right and hold her wrist with my left. Also, as others have noted, it can't be some wussy limp wristed crap, shake her hand firmly, just don't squeeze too hard. Women like a firm handshake.

I put her in a wrist lock and make her go down. Shows dominance.

I love it! We are discussing handshaking and the issue of who's dominant or not based on the hand holding comes up. :D
