"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.
Two and a Half Men for AFCs
- Thread starter amoka
- Start date
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

No, Charlie is an AFC. A big AFC because he went out with his girlfriend, broke up with her because she was trying to change him, and then gets back together with her. She wanted to father the baby. They were then about to get married.amoka said:
As Player_Supreme would say, What the fawk?!? The show used to be the most awesome show on the Earth with the AFC Brother and then Charlie the player, but the shows producers decided he needed a love interest. They f'ed him all up.

Yep. Then again I can only think of about a gazillion and one things that are more constructive, entertaining, enlightening, and challenging than TV. Guess it's not SO bad...Rollo Tomassi said:

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yes, but TV is good for relaxation. If we all did constructive, enlightening, and challenging things 24/7, we'd die of stress at the age of 30.thesynergist said:
Its nice to be able to put up your feet once in a while, and just stare blankly at something.

Its also nice how the radiating glow of the TV sucks the life out of you and turns you into a couch potato waiting for next season's lineup.diplomatic_lies said:

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
