"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.

Yeah. Don't do this. Ever.

Choice excerpt:

You played with your hair a lot. A woman playing with her hair is a common sign of flirtation. You can even do a google search on it. When a woman plays with her hair, she is preening. I've never had a date where a woman played with her hair as much as you did. In addition, it didn't look like you were playing with your hair out of nervousness.
This guy is clearly a master of womanology. I would follow him anywhere.
 

"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.

On the upside, this guy is really good at analyzing. And by that I actually mean he's horrible at analyzing and wouldn't be able to reason his way out of an empty closet. An empty closet with no doors or walls.

And they let this guys handle MONEY?!

Maybe he's like Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man. Really good with numbers. REALLY horrible with people.

Biggest AFC ever.
 

"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.

I just thought we had a lot of potential. That's all.

Plus she was wearing red. Which we all know is the color of fertility.

Before a guy sends an email like this he should take a "what if?" thought for a moment..

Imagine you had a date with a woman who you did not click with at all and you weren't interested in her, then she sent you this email. Wouldn't you be pretty fvcking creeped out?!

I know I would lol. This guy knows a thing or two about flirting that you can read in a maxim article, but he really needs to get his hand on the DJ bible or another book of similar doctrine.

AFC of the Year award. Talking about all the millions he's got and spends 3 hours writing this email to some chick who blew him off. What a chump.

Its as if you read my mind.
He shouldve thought of her on the bowl before sending that.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Story was all over Facebook yesterday.

Didn't even bother saying anything. It's the kind of thing that doesn't need any more publicity.

-You said, "It was nice to meet you." at the end of our date. A woman could say this statement as a way to show that she isn't interested in seeing a man again or she could mean what she said--that it was nice to meet you. The statement, by itself, is inconclusive.

ROFL

I could be wrong, but my thinking is he's probably recovering from Asperger syndrome, which is something I have. My guess is he has gained a certain amount of social awareness, learned some of the science of game, probably read the PUA community, but obviously isn't aware of the rule of game to never verbalize game, to never argue against rejection. He is analytical but is still lacking self-awareness to calibrate himself and figure out when and why things go wrong, for which of course he is oblivious.

His email was TLDR

seriously, it really does take hard work to be simp. I wonder if he even spell/grammar check his sh1t. Probably sat up all night writing that.

Poor guy

Canada, eh?
I dont think it is real.... Maybe something that was never meant to be sent, sort of like a mental masturbation exercise. But I can see similar but shorter variations being sent out on a regular basis.

actually when I read the letter it came off kinda cute, in a way I think that was his purpose for it.

You see what he was doing was using the power of suggestion when he hinted that they had potential, that she was "attracted" to him by playing with her hair, eye contact etc. and he also tried coming off as a "jerk" by being assertive in the tone of his writing style but at the same time gave her validation.

If you want someone to really think about you, and this is true especially with females hence why they love to text and read, you write it down.

Mike had nothing left to lose and it was genius thinking up something very unusual to differentiate him from the pack of other male suitors and write her a letter that utilized the power of suggestion.

I think it's a masterpiece, and I might just do the same. lol

I don't know why folks have to go off on stuff like this. I live by the fact that I leave things open with flakey women. Those flakey relationships are much stronger the second time around because they have some history with you then.
