"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.

Sht, ask me why I prefer trains.


They say electronics mulfunctioned after lightning hit just after take off. Pilots to blame for bad landing, plane hit ground 3 times and chasis broke, fully fueled. They say, although commander was 57 year old test pilot with more than 8000 hours experience. It was a second landing attempt, due to bad weather. No radio communications with tower.

41 died, 37 saved, several are critical.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Air travel is the safest mode of travel by far. Especially in the US. The crashes apply to your emotion, rather than logic, because they are so visual and catastrophic in one event.

Sort of like hurricanes and tornadoes. Hurricanes SEEM to be more deadly but tornadoes kill far more people, albeit not at one time.
