"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.

Another reason why!

I bet a lot of those people didn't help because of fear that they, themselves, would be charged with some kind of crime. Which has happened in the past!
 

"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.

The big guy should have been stopped... it takes persons with a high sense of morality and emotional stability (because they could've been in a state of shock) for that to have happened...

Escalating violence with racism causes riots and possibly even a race war... which is just bad for social order and the economy...

Why no one stepped in:

1) Diffusion of responsibility
2) Perp was HUGEnormous (regardless of race)!
3) Perp was Black (and thus seen as more aggressive & prone to criminal violence)!

An interesting study in game theory here. Why get involved and risk serious bodily injury when you have "nothing to gain?" Hence, no one did...


The White guy made the fatal flaw though by turning his back on the perp. In such a street situation, you do NOT give the guy your back! WTF? This is no different than backing away from a wild animal in nature. Would you turn your back on a bear growling at you??? Use some common sense, people. Not surprisingly, he got "sucker-punched" right after...and it was simply game over after that...

No one stepped in becuase they were cared of getting hurt themselves. They value their own well being at the expense of someone else's.
 

"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.

I dont usually talk **** but if i was there expecially with a friend then i am sure we would have steped in, but we both train hard in MMA (im more stand up and he is more gound) so we know what to expect and what pain feels like. but seriously... if i was alone without someone i would have hit him from behind with a choke or most likly i would have low kicked as hard as i could to his knee over and over from behind and then when he went down (i have devistating low kicks) run like hell out the door hahhahhaa. i dont want to get caught.

Yeah, it's weird how the majority act in situations that require some sort of action. Funny story today, an extremely hot Swedish backpacker, about 20ish yrs old, was walking up to the back of the bus before the driver jerked it and caused her to fall flat on her face. The surrounding seats were filled with 21-25 yr old males who just sat there watching her so after sitting there for 10 seconds watching this unfold I had to take the initiative and actually walk down a few rows to see if she was ok and help her pick up her bag and scattered belongings which were under the actual seats of these 21-25 yr old males.

Even a simple situation like that and people still seem to just sit and watch.

Nah, they missed the opportunity for an easy approach just because the situation was slightly different. You could tell by their facial expressions - they didn't think it was funny, they just watched with their mouths opened. If they wanted to go for the neg hit approach, they could've at least made a joke of her then offered to help so they could open her up. But the situation was just so shocking for them they couldn't act upon anything all.
