I haven't heard of that one but the hispanics are gonna have a HUGE population by 2050Centaurion said:
"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.

"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'll cut in cause I dont want you thinking its gonna be in the 100's if you mive to LA, Orange Co, or Diego. Thats not true. This guy lives in the Valley. Places like Glendale, fontana,Burbank, N. Hollywood is not LA. It's easily 10 degrees hotter out there in a desert type of environment and I hate that chit. LA down to diego it ranges from 70's-to the high 80's usually with a nice cool breeze. And at night its almost chilly to us Californians.
Also San Diego/ Orange Co is more relaxed and chill mentality, as in LA is very high pase and on the grind type of place. You can seriously get paid in LA, as you can in the other cities but in LA the mentaly is kinda more business networking, who are you type of place. Diegos more like just chill, hang out and have a drink, chill at the beach all day mentality.
Also, I agree Please dont come here, please LOL

Some awesome responses guys
I've heard LA is a business type of town and I'm not really interested in that fast paced loaded traffic enviroment. I'm not an actor or singer and I'm not that flashy with money so i'll pass. Sedona sounds pretty good, but when I think of wine country I worry about too many old folks. San Diego does seem to be where it's at but with all the renovations it's gone under it seems a little pricey for me since I'll be going out there starting at 45K a year. However I am more into that laid-back scene (I've lived in Boston for 24 years, I NEED someplace laid back) and I guess San Diego's good for that. I'll do more research on SD.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

California sucks. Out of the fifty states, it'd probably be the last state where I'd want to live. Actually Hawaii would be worse, as you're land-locked, I can't afford a boat, and I hate getting on an airplane (I'd rather drive everywhere, regardless of the distance). Plus even if I could afford a boat I'm not sure if I could stock enough fuel to get from Honolulu to LA.
OK, so I don't live there. But, my father grew up in Bakersfield during the 50s and 60s. In the 70s he attended UCLA, where he met my mother. They both agree that LA is a dirty filthy place. It's also crowded and expensive.
It was in 1981 when he emigrated from CA to Central IL. I visited there with my father in 1994, when his mother was still alive and was living in Inglewood. It didn't seem that great, though I recall that he took me to Disneyland and we were there for 11 hours (I don't want to think how much money he spent on me).
Crowded and expensive? No thanks. As an only child I admit that I like to take up a lot of space.
I'd rather move east or south.
