"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.

Because they don't find you attractive.

It could be due to you dressing like a slob.

Not being groomed.

Being out of shape and overweight.

Being too short.

Being socially awkward.

All of which can be resolved by you. Be the change you want to see in life. It starts with you.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You might draw some flak from some here on the forum, but I actually agree with you. Women spend their entire lives working on their appearance, and most men spend virtually zero time. We're lucky we even have pants on when we walk out the door.

All they need to see is a tiny bit of effort. That's all it takes to rise above average.

I like that you put the emphasis on "men".

Too many men cry and whine about how women are "unfair" and "selfish". Men really control their own fate in the dating world. The successful ones know this.

except for you man. Your the exception. Thats why you let your girl hang out with dudes alone.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Because they don't find you attractive.

Agreed this is the number one reason. But the rest is really academic; more about being a fully-functioning human being than an attractive man.

Women will find you attractive, or they won't. To those that don't we say, 'meh' and move on. I used to struggle when chicks didn't wanna be with me because I enjoyed a lot of success in my formative years and I couldn't understand why that changed.

I figured it was my attitude. And I was right.

NB. Height is not something that is easily controlled.
