"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.

"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.

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

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
