"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.

To the posters on sosuave.net.

Stop opening new threads after old ones are closed.
There is a reason why they were closed. Eternal, Prosemont, and etc do that for a reason.

If you don't know why PM one of the mods and they will probably give you a reason for it being closed.

Just a little suggestion for the posters here.
 

"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.

Funny, after I read it, there was a post that got closed in Discusison because it was about a closed thread.

I've noticed that. I think the mods need to get a bit tougher around the boards for a little while. Iron fist for a few weeks, and all that.

Funny, when the mods get hard, people complain, yet when they don't, people complain.

By the way, eternal is gone for a few weeks (see his sig.) This should be interesting.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well, you wont see me complaining, thats for sure. Unless the health and fitness forum keeps going down-hill, in which case maybe I'll have to do some ass-kissing to start modding it :p
