This is what we're up against.
"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.

This is what we're up against.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So?
What are you gonna do about it?
How does making this a part of your thoughts benefit you or anyone else?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

What In The HELL?!!! I mean, to post a profile so brazenly like that. And the sad part is that there are men who will reply and try to be that for her. I'm guessing her standards are not very high. You cant post something like that and expect a quality man to reply.

So she wants some steak and some head, huh? LOL!
This is what we're up against.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'd almost want to go out with her just to play head games with her and put her in her place. Just for entertainment cuz I'm a d|ck like that.

Been there, loads of fun...low on the radar insults fly over their heads. I've had quite a few miffed at me.
They need an enema.

Can a brotha get some puzzy? LOLLol. There's a whole lot of NOPE happening in that post, OP.

Modern women? Unreadable....
Unreadable Nature
Her nature is unreadable,
But for the windowed pane,
When with a gilded symbol,
I see as through a frame.
Inside out her language goes
As if finding frontier homes,
If only for briefest moments,
Before she onward roams.
Like the firmament above,
Revolving on hidden springs,
Of desire, of fire, of love,
An eternity she sings.
