"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.

The perfect place to live?

"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.

Down here in Charleston, SC it only snows every few years. Even then its only a half inch of so.

Plus, there are all sorts of smoking hot girls with southern accents wearing next to nothing littered all over the streets. If it gets too hot you could always go to the beach (its a classy town, so the beached aren't commercialized, either)

But it does get REALLY hot and humid around this time of year, and lasts until August, at least. But that also means from now until august, all the girls are wearing skimpy skimpy clothes.

Damn, I'm going to walk down the street right now. Later!

Florida is terrible in the summer. The fall and winter are great, but it would be nice to have a change of seasons.

How old do you have to be to become a snowbird? I want to be able to get the hell out of FL between the months of June and August, maybe have a place in Colorado to escape the nasty heat and humidity. Other than that, I'll travel the world and stay a few weeks here and there throughout the year. Sounds like a plan.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

yes, and it means "whale's vagina"...
man, that was just a joke by ron burgundy...

actually, the first colonists arrived in San Diego, escorted by sergeant jose ortega of the presidio, in september 26th 1774



1. in 1851, San Diego Herald publishes its first edition.
2. in 1865 there already was an elementary school in san diego...
3. san diego's city first park was planned in 1868


but, as you say, the city was still to be founded by some germans in 1904
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
