"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'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.

The World = Forums
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report = Trolls
Funny how everyone likes Jon and Steven, but people here hate Angelus and Princess Jo. Its just something to consider.

Funny you should say that, seeing as both shows have basically the same producers and writers. One of those producers being Jon Stewart himself.Bling said:
Hell no they are not trolls. Do you even know what a troll is? Jon and Stephen simply take existing news and exploit the stupidness of those involved. They don't make up news stories to scare people or get them riled up, etc. It is simply satire. If you are looking for a true troll try watching the O'Reilly Factor.Ace of Flames said:
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
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.

Colbert for President, and if you don't vote for him you're a terrorist.

Jon and Steven make things light and fun, and get right to the point most of the time. Trolls here like DrBeard keep things from getting too technical.
There are different kinds of trolls, you know. Yea, some trolls just lie and mislead to screw with everyone. But other trolls take what is being said and make it silly and crazy. Jon and Steven are the second variety. Our governement is more like the first, lol.
"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.
