"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.

Six Flags TV Commercial

"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.

Its a great commercial by the way.
you think it's a great commercial?

man...sometimes they show that two or more times between every single commercial break. good thing i stopped watching tv. i still remember it though, and i think it's a mask or some sort of costume ...progeria is very rare and people with progeria don't live to be more than 13-15 at most. although i guess it is possible, just probably not likely.

if you go to six flags though, try the batman ride where there's nothing holding your feet.

Very doubtful. He just plays the dancing idiot very well. Imagine putting that role on your resume?

By being great I mean that the commercial achieves its purpose and that its a cool thing that a kid with a progeria can get a job like that, since he had many limitations in his life and not to mention he doesn't have many years to live.

Alot of times in this website we complain how we are not good enough to get the girls of our dreams. Imagine being a kid with a progeria trying to attract an HB while his life span will probably not reach the age of 20. Makes you think that compare to this kid, all you have is a minor setback and with a little hard work, you can achieve greatness, while he can't.

Progeria? I'm pretty sure its just some guy with a lot of makeup on.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
