"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Have you watched the movie "Final Fantasy Advent Children" which is based on the FFV 7 game series? Cloud, the hero, rides a bike similar to this one I think. This movie kicks some serious a.ss. It´s all made by computer. :cheer:
 

"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.

Maybe I'm just drunk, but the only similarity I see is that they both have black parts. Other than that, I'm missing whatever you're seeing.

And if you'd clicked my first link, you would have seen another Cloud bike...

No that's not the same bike at all, I mean other then the fact that both bikes are V-rods. Click on the second article on the North American Warhorse site I linked in my previous post. The bike has aprilia parts and suspension, double stacked head lights and no front ferring at all. There are other detials that makes the bikes vastly different. Check the specs sheet in the article, the bike I linked is nothing short of amazing.

No, my first link is the bike from the game, this link is a toy of the bike from the movie. It's called Fenrir, after the wolf from Norse legend.

It's the same bike. I own the movie and no the bike from Advent Children (fenrir) looks nothing like the v rod's posted above. I should note that it would be impossible to hold onto that bike at the speeds they feature in the film but there were very few parts of the movie that were plauseable to begin with.

your friend needs to reassess his good points

a bike is extremely fuel efficient, yes compared to a V8 , a small korean car will use the same or less than that GSXR

then tyres , a rear tyre will last maybe 4000 miles , a front maybe double that and these arent cheap

the you have expense of chain and sprockets , servicing

then on top of that you have your rider training and all your protective equipment , consider how hard it is to wipe your arse with your hands in bandages

check your insurance cost

want cheap transport then you are buying a small bike which is cheap on fuel , easy/cheap to service and uses cheap tyres

want a decent sportsbike then you are spending $$$

if you want something cheap and easy to maintain just for transporting purposes buy a scooter
 

"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.
