"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.

Just finished reading The Manual by W.Anton. The book actually came to me with strong recommendation, after I could only get halfway through The Game. I couldn't finish that book because I didn't agree with the methods of peacocking, negging and it just came across as a numbers game to me.

The Manual was described to me as a more principled approach that focuses on character and the psychology of a woman's mind. I just finished the book and was wondering if anybody on this forum had read it and their thoughts on it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Sounds interesting. I haven't heard about this. I'm surprised that no one else has commented.

I don't know if it would appeal to everybody on here. Just like athletes, we all have different styles while trying to achieve the same goal. The book doesn't go into things like fashion, text game, and status, as it just says those things are clearly secondary to confidence, charm and responsibility.

When I thought I cared if I had a woman in my life, I read "the Game". Since I've come to realize it really doesn't matter if I do or not. AND i can focus on what makes ME happy....I probably won't read this one.
