"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 don't even know this world in English. To be swayed by, to be conducted by... Вестись.. In simplest form that's when your actions are effected by actions of another. For example, you are in traffic and this car ahead of you is driving rather slow, you decide to take him over, and maybe even cut him off and hunk at him. Your actions were affected by that driver.

At a store there could be a blond seller explaining to a blond customer for 30 minutes how to use her iphone 4, while you are waiting in line with your business, as a result your emotional state changes, you might even change your balance from left to right foot regularly and act annoyed.

A blond might walk by at first acting interested and you go for it and stare at her, but then as she walking next to you she suddenly has to check her time or look the other way.

A cop or a security guard or maybe a life guard at the beach stands up and get everyone's attention, and your attention as well, you stand up and listen very carefully............maybe the big emergency was that the toilet is clogged or something.


In any case, to be swayed or to be conducted by is when you reacting according to actions of others. This is a big thing in espionage and mafia, and in our everyday lives. Obviously the more educated you are, the less you gonna fall and act upon others actions.

The more educated once will analyze actions of others and decide what to do before doing it.
 

"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.

I think op means not reacting to stupid sh*t. Pretty much the feeling you get when your soo tired and sleepy you don't have the energy and attention to deal with anything that's not important.

It's all under maintaining frame and or keeping composure. Like when your talking to girl or you approach one and it doesn't go well you don't react to the results. You keep your composure or ignore it. This is a strong quality for a man to posses and I believe it's called poise.

And don't even think about squidward from spongebob, he's too miserable to care.
 

"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.

Picture a wolf, he's going about his life in forest, not giving a damn about squirrels and foxes, just an alpha doing his thing. Now picture a cowardly coyote, every little noise gets his interest, and as you look at it, that thing just looks cowardly, scared, just not at the same par as a wolf.
