"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 SICK, we need to GET ACTIVE!

"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.

That's a lot of money for child support.

I'm convinced many judges and juries get off on committing gross injustices.

Yesterday my 20-y.o. friend was saying to me that his LTR of 1 year and 8 months, who is 25, is giving him a very hard time, yet he loves her and is willing to fix their relationship. He even mentioned marrying her...

You sum what Bonhomme posted with the story I just told and conclude that marriage is just fuggin stupid from the beginning to the end.

I'll not marry or have kids with any gal unless:

1) The "infatuation phase" has long since passed, we consider ourselves best friends, and there's still plenty of lust.

2) I absolutely trust her with my life.

3) There's a pre-nup that covers mental health breakdowns and such.

most guys wouldn't do this because they love their kids and they wouldn't put them in jeparty, but i would quit my job, sell everything off and go like a bum, if i had to pay that kind of money a wife. I don't care if she has my kids, if they are not with me, they are not my responsability.

This is the exact reason why i have so much trouble with relatioships. I can predict and control where things will go in the short term but in the long term, there's no garuntee that things won't end up similar to this poor chump. *Sigh* even being an advance PUA has it's limits.:(

If that were me, I would have quit my job. Seriously, when it's THAT MUCH, I'm better off living on welfare or with no money that paying that much.

that's ridiculous.

His best option is to do something that gets paid "under the table," or some sort of real estate investing in which he's essentially borrowing money for a living, showing little or no taxable income ... such as buying property way below market and refinancing, pulling out equity to make his money.

I find this story less than credible.

Just ignoring the source for a minute :rolleyes: and looking at the content of the story I find 5 things out of place.
1. Alimony is not permanent. He'll pay that for a few months and be done with it. This article fails to separate the costs of this temporary alimony and child support and instead lumps them together to make the story more sensational. His child support fees could be pennies compared to the alimony.
2. She has no job, yet he has to pay for child care. That's just pure BS. He's adding that to his story to make it sound more incredible.
3. He has a "good relationship with his ex" yet she's screwing him over. Give me a fvcking break. If this article had any credibility, we would see the word "b1tch" more times referring to his ex than we see the word "the." The author who made this story up is downplaying the b1tch ex so that he can highlight his agenda.
4. He made 4k a month yet can't afford a decent lawyer. In the US, and especially California, money can buy you out of prison. Just ask OJ or Michael. Yet this chump is too stupid to buy a good lawyer with the abundance of money he was making, and too stupid to sue his lawyer for misrepresentation.
5. Where's the facts? I see no links to court documents, specific unfair laws on a government website, or even "Robert's" last name. From what I can see there's more evidence to suggest that the webmaster made this story up than it's truth.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

1. Alimony is not permanent.
It depends how long you're married. The longer you're married, the more likely you're going to be paying the rest of your life. Especially if the guy is the sole provider.
