"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.

Who was your favorite president, and why?

Me? Benjamin Franklin. He discovered electricity, and he's on the 100 dollar bill. Not a coincidence.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Ben Franklin was very important in politics, but he was not a president. Although I admire his values and outlook on life very much. To me he is still the strongest voice of the principles and virtues of the middle class. I'm actually reading a biography of him right now (again) :)

I'd have to go with Jefferson though. He completely changed politics and is one of the wisest people I've read about. The more I read about him, the more I find myself leaning toward Jeffersonian political philosophy.

Now if Ron Paul wins come 2008 (the only person who would wipe the floor with Hillary), Jefferson may have some big competition as for the spot of my favorite president :)

"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.

You're a funny man.

I'm an Abe Lincoln fan. I believe he was the greatest president...ever. Not far behind for me is George Washington and FDR.

I think Ben Franklin would have been a great president. He is my favorite colonial/founding father. I believe he was the wisest men on the time, and I agree with a lot of his views.

I have a question for you. I've always wondered what there voices sounded like. What kind of personality did they have, for some reason I think they would be really stuck-up. And what do you think they would think about America today?
 

"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.

I think Washington and Franklin had English accents and I bet they were very snobbish.

They would not be happy with the America of today.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Why do we continue naming Franklin after stating he is NOT a president?! Personally I have to go with Old Hickory.

Just a pre warning don't let this turn political keep it historical

Ahh what the hell! I thought they only put presidents on the 100 dollar bill.

He WAS President of Pennsylvania... will someone please explain to me why he was NOT a US president? It's just boggling me now. Maybe he was too smart to become president, he knew he could work behind the scenes and not take all the heat if something went awry.

Create Reality bro...how the fvck did you not know Franklin wasn't a president? Whatever you're smoking....stop

He was more of an international ambassador guy.

My favorite would have ot be FDR and Truman. Truman had the balls to nuke the japs.
