"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.

Am I the only one who cringes when people call me "Sir"?

(Literally as a 60 year old waitress calls me sir).

And don't tell me people in the South are trained to be douchebags.

Doesn't "sir" always seem like a backhanded way to say "old man"?

Simple rule: If I am still strong enough to kill your boyfriend with my bare hands, don't call me Sir.

"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.

It's a polite and respectful thing to say. It's just good customer service taken seriously. It doesn't imply age, but most guys who's formally a Sir are old.

I like it from men as it's a sign of respect, I like it from young women for the same reason, but for some reason I hate it from the 30+ female crowd. Somehow I perceive it as disingenuous from that group.

You'll never be strong enough to stop a bullet, Neil.

Pretty sure the term 'Sir' is a sign of respect, at least in the states I've been in. Now being called 'grandpa,' 'coon,' or a blatant insult would be disrespectful. At least in my book.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I've noticed that I get called "Sir" in a customer service situation where She's letting me know that she doesn't think that I'm being very "professional." It's usually a turn of events, and it happens QUICK, and it's just a switch that gets flipped in Her mind (not warranted, because I've met 10s of 1000s of people and Know people therefore I know if I am wrong). She's usually very inexperienced if she (the customer service hoe) drops "Sir" as a kind of chastisement. She hasn't weathered any REAL storms of a wide variety of people if she thinks "I" am actually outta hand. So I laugh. She will never see me stop laughing. She can threaten me with my job and I'll still think she's silly. It's just the world we live in where women don't belong in the positions they're in, and make more money than they are worth fo sho.
