"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.

i agree about lying

i knew a 21YO girl who met a 32YO guy at a rave. the guy lied and said he was 25, and after they had hooked up he confessed his real age. at first she was a little shocked, but quickly realized that she liked him regardless. the important thing is, this girl would have never considered being with him if she knew his age up front.

i'm almost 31, but i look 25. i haven't tried going for younger 18-21YO women yet (been with 23-27YO's for the past 3 years) but i *will* go for it at some point and will just say i'm 25.
 

"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.

Turning 30 didn't bother me. Turning 40 didn't either.

I have a difficult time getting any women online because I don't lie about my age (44) and I look about 28 to 32.

In person, I have a big advantage with younger women. I don't let the age thing come up until after we've f***ed. Now, I do much better with women in their 20's (even as low as 19) than I did when I was in my late 20's. The difference is confidence and having your life together.
