"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.

With few notable exceptions, TV is for women. Women are the primary consumers in western culture and advertisers know this. TV shows are no longer entertainment, but rather a vehicle for advertising - advertising designed to promote consumption from the largest consumer group.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Actually, that's how TV started out - and has never really changed from the ad model.

But yea, TV sux. Except for a few shows. But the rest is all tired formulas and propaganda.

Movies aren't that much different but they are just excuses for people to get out of the house and "do" something. Sure, you could get a similar experience with a home theater...but people like actually going OUT of the house regularly.

I strongly agree with this. Your threads/posts on the topics of marriage and cheating in the Mature forum are great, Rollo.
