"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 have nothing agains Nicholas. He's put lots of effort into the bible and deserves a monument for that.

But:

I remember when 2 years ago I came to this site, while there was still the old forum. When I read the bible it was compact, relatively short and informative.

All of the posts were of superb quality. There were no unneeded blabbering.

As I look at it now, I see tons of links from the "new forum". It seems that any post except "what do I do on the 1st date?" gets into the bible.

I think the current edition of the bible needs some cleaning.
 

"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 understand what you're feeling.

But because the "DJ Bible" is a compilation of contributions from many diffrent authors, there's always going to be varying degrees of incompleteness, contradiction and redundancy.

The "DJ Bible" is a great resource for newcommers to this site, however in larger scheme of things it should be used as only a supplement to real life experience.

I don't know what you mean about the bible getting bulkier. Since taking over the Bible a year ago, I have added about TEN articles altogether. That's TEN, not a hundred.

Please don't complain about the new/old forum links. It will take 40 hours to correct the whole lot, and no-one's paying me to update the bible, so I think that I'd rather invest said time in macking on chicks, spending a few minutes each week keeping the bible in nice enough condition.

Very few articles make it into the bible. It is a beginners guide and reference manual. It is not the epitamy of perfection.

I think the current edition of the bible needs some cleaning.
I'm still amazed at the number of people who give their critical "thoughts" without lifting a finger.
 

"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.

Out of curiosity, what could one do to help?

I created an e-book in CHM format titled "The Best of DJism" with a few of my own articles as well ;), but I will not dare share it with anyone until the intelligence of this community as a whole is equivalent to or higher than the level of intelligence of the 2001 DJ community.

One of the formatting problems I find with the DJ Book is that it is unorganized with too many graphics.

Even though I've read many, if not all, of the quality posts on this site, I'd be interested in seeing what metahuman has to share with us.
