"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.

So why must we live according to utopian theories? I notice that you guys say be men of action. Well for me to be a man of action would be to decieve myself into doing something out of spite. I have a consciousness and I ask, why act? Like, getting laid. People think that using techniques will get them laid while others talk about attraction must be natural, so then you're contradicting each other and proving that the law of nature is supposed to take care of such things. I find myself overwhelmed by inertia and expansive boredem. I think we should all just act upon desire rather than reason.
 

"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.

Feeling a little depressed? Find what works for YOU, its not about what anyone else says. If you disagree with what some people say here, then so be it, youll be good.

We all DO act on desire/emotion and then pad our decision with reasion/logic/rational-lies. Ever notice how anything built on reason can be dismantled...but anything NOT born of reason cannot be dismantled?

"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.

Um, well technically, everything we do is based on emotion. There's not a single thing we ever do that isn't emotional.
