"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.

Just another example of how social status can sometimes trump looks.

Without getting too much into it...
a friend got a chance to go to vegas with a camera crew following him around filming him.
So it looked like he was some sort of "somebody".
He is very overweight, not unkempt or anything...but he's no Brad Pitt.

He said it was just incredible. Chicks were just SWAMPING him. Chicks would walk right up to him and hand him their numbers (hotel room numbers too) and all sorts of crazy shyt. And yeah, he f-closed easily.
 

"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.

Did he f-close with them not knowing that he wasn't really some kind of V.I.P. or something? Or did it just never come up and they just assumed the whole time that he was, or what?

Social proof shouldn't be thought about. It just comes when you are living the good life. If you're trying to show social proof just for a girl, then it's all just smoke and mirrors.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Inhaling smoke is bad for the lungs and the mirrors will break if she's ugly.

From what I understand, they didn't really care. He was someone who was commanding alot of attention. And he was getting access to some hard to get into events.

One of the chicks he ended up with ditched her husband (or he might have been a boyfriend/sugardaddy or something) to be with him.
