"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.

Sniped on eBay. Anybody know of good software to do this?

Some of these are good: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=snipe+ebay


They're web services. I personally don't use any of those, when I snipe I do it manually. Plus I don't bid often on things that worth sniping for.
What about automated software?

And is your sniping any good? What if the page lags and you put in a bid at the last second. What then?

Those are automated software, they're web applications. I don't know of any apps for Windows. Lags happen my man.

I wouldn't trust over my password that has access to my CC info to some sketchy website or program, but that's me.
 

"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 use Auction Sentry.
 

"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.

True. But I can always change the password after.

And its not going into my Paypal info. That's a different account altogether.

i got this now for my other thread.

alright, so i put it on 1 second... after i was outbid at 2 seconds.

is there anyway to get it after one second? because what happens if the other person does 1 second proxy bid also? the slight-lagger is the winner?

Nahhh, there are some good aps out there. I'm not saying which because it's every man for himself when it comes to ebay.
