Funny stuff.
"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.

Funny stuff."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.

Video games are getting waaaay out of hand these days...
Next thing you know we'll actually be talking to other people in multiplayer computer games. Brings socialising to a new low.

"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.

Seriously speaking though, if it's working for him, then there's nothing we can really say (especially you keyboard jockeys out there).
Whatever works, simply works. Personally I think only losers use online dating, but if you manage to snag a hot chick on the internet, then congratulations.

Wait a second, did I miss something? What does any of this have to do with sarging online? The article didn't say anything about it.

It follows the same principle. Most people here think whatever this guy's doing is stupid. Most people also think internet dating is stupid. But if it works, then it isn't stupid.
I'm sure there's guys out there who use even weirder pickup techniques, but at the end of the day, getting results is all that's important.,

But I just found that to prove my point. The reason I knew it was a spoof is that it is obviously so. Did you think This Is Spinal Tap was a real documentary too?
