"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.

I love Halloween, I love dressing up, girls are all slutted out etc. Anyways, I normally go for a "funny" costume. This year I was considering a spartan from 300. The way I see it if you are going to be a spartan you have to be in one of two groups:

1. Morbidly obese, because come one, the irony would be hilarious.

2. In ridiculous good shape. Fully ripped, 6 pack, etc.

The thing is I am far from 1, but not near 2.

I don't have the confidence in my self to decide so I will....ask an internet message board...do you guys think I can pull it off?

I've included some pics. Let me know if they do not work.

I am 5'7, ~153, <10%BF, you can kinda see the abs but not quite there, I feel so silly even asking this but again I think I have self image issues.

However, the other factor was to get extremly drunk at which point I probably wont care how I look. The other plan was to wear a random costume a few nights before the big party on Saturday and kinda scout out how all the other spartans look.

Your input is greatly apperciated.

"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.

The spartan suit fits you well, and there's your chance of "innocently" showing off your body :p
 

"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 have an opposite party to go to for halloween.

My girlfriend is going as me.
I am going in my best female friend's old cheerleader's outfit. Suprisingly it fits me better than it fits her. I guess I got the cheerleader's form with a six pack :p

@ the OP:

Wear what you want.

There are likely going to be a few men at your party dressed in a costume they maybe should not be wearing...who cares? Just go out and have fun, and fvuck what other people think...it's your body.

What you wear to expose your skin is not important; it's how you feel inside your skin that matters.

I totally agree that is the ideal mindset and I often carry that but not quite there completely. Like I said, I think I have self image issues (admittance is the first step right...or is it denial?) When I was younger/growing up I would get crap for being scrawny/short so my insecurities are there, thus thats why I asked, I would hate to go, see 300 other Spartans and the others are completely cut up.

My other costume is Michael Vick one, I could care less about offending people or being PC (to a certain degree) so I might wear that to a few smaller parties before deciding ont he Spartan for the big one.

Thanks agian for everyones opinions tho

who gives a damn what you want to wear! wear what ever you want! common dude.
 

"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.
