"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.

Just been to the worst party in my life yesterday. It was fvcking chaos. I got my iPhone stolen (700$ gone), had to wait for about 1 hour and a half for my coat and I was rejected by most girls because they didn't want to dance (I almost always pull at parties, but not this one...)

I would like to share with you guys some precautions before going to parties:

Analyze the party through a logical point of view. Where is the party at? How safe is it? Is there security? Is it open to anyone? Well in my case, it was a hotel party with security and all, but there was something wrong. People could buy tickets at the door and there was actually a lot around 18 years old. Also, one of the people organizing pulled out. Also, the room was for about 400 people maximum and said they would let in more than 500 people. It was also far away and in a city with lots of gangs.

Stay with friends, or at least people. I was in a corner alone and that's when he had the chance to take from my hands. I wasn't expecting it obviously, so if you do so, at least expect it and look out.

Carry around the less valuables possible. Don't need to explain this one...

You live and learn, but there's some things can be prevented. Just looking out for you guys and sharing my experiences.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Half of the parties I've been to end up in drama with either a drunk girl and drunk guy hooking up and their girlfriend/boyfriend getting pissed, some stupid clique/gang rivalry, etc. I never go to a party unless I go with three or more people, or if I know most of the people going.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Lots of coats stolen at that party too. They all gave us tickets for our coats and they dropped all the ****ing tickets on the floor because they was too many coats in such a small room, so we all had to go get our coats one by one. It was chaos.

Honestly, it takes a smart person to organize a party. And the ticket system just isn't that great because there's always coats getting stolen, or if you lose your ticket. They should come up with something better... Oh well, stupid people.

I agree, but this is a 655$ phone that I got stolen. I mean a bottle of vodka, doesn't come close to that. Still, it's a valuable item.

I was in a corner on the phone because the music was loud. Than the black guy puts his hand on the phone. I pulled on it, but he looked like he was over 18 and he was much taller than me (about 6 feet). I called security and I told other black people about it as soon as he took it and they all went outside and there was a gang fight.

There was 2 black gangs there and I had told the other gang that one gang had stole my phone and they wanted to get it back for me. They had pocket knifes and the cops came. It wasn't worth risking my life for an iPhone so I didn't join in.

Anyways, the guy can't do anything with my phone. I have a passcode on it and when I called him to give it back to me, he ordered me to give him the passcode hahahah (cause I would really give it to him...). He can't use my phone and I blocked the line, so he can't make any calls or text anyways. He's gonna have a hard time selling it/using it. I bet he doesn't even know what a SIM card is or how the iPhone works...
 

"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.

First off, your in highschool (im guessing), so what the hell were you doing at hotel party in some city with gangs? Really dumb move on your part by going there.

Keep in mind everyone, this is NOT the average highschool party at all.

For real, this is more a lesson to evaluate your surroundings. Generally speaking holding a valuable out where someone can grab it at a party filled with strangers and apparently gangs, is not a smart move ;) . I feel for you though OP.

Generally, if you go to a ghetto/projects/etc. either don't bring anything you'd be too sad to lose, or be prepared to **** people up to keep it. Or keep it hidden.

I know it's not your average high school party... It's more house parties in high school and there's people who go there and steal people's things from the house (this girl I know got her iPod Touch and Xbox stolen recently). Some guy I know just goes to house parties to steal things.

I understand man, but it was still a 5 star hotel.

A five star hotel? I HIGHLY doubt that. This seems more like one of those ****ty hotels located in a crappy neighborhood. A five star hotel would never allow such craziness to go on, not to mention that they wouldnt be located around a bunch of gangs, nor would they let the whole coat fiasco and security fiasco occur.

"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.
