"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.

Why do they ROAM around and look to buy things? I went there to get a shirt and LEAVE. The pu55ies were out in full force today. It's sunny. Great weather. I saw many women alone shopping. I saw many women (both old and young) stop holding hands with their boyfriends when I walked by. There were droves and droves of women everywhere. I got stopped by a hired gun. She took my hand and said that my hands were rough. I said, "I know, it's because I work hard" and she asks me what I do, and I said, "I'd rather not say" and she insists what do I do, and I said, "I'm not gonna tell ya." Then she says, "Are you gay?" and I just laughed and walked off. This is the mall culture?
 

"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.

Actually, women's shopping thing can be traced back to two things:

1) Hunter/Gatherer society. Men=Hunter, Woman=Gatherer. This should be pretty clear by now so I won't elaborate.

2) US!!! Yes, us, because we (or at least most of us) go nuts when a young hb wearing a short summer dress, great hair, no bra and nonexistent panties goes by leaving a trace of perfume. Women want that effect, and thus they will put the work into it. Often, shopping is for women what going to the gym is for us.
Problem is, just shopping and wearing nice stuff will not help you lose pounds, but neither will you pick up chicks wearing newspaper around your feet.

This is the wrap-up of about 7-8 years of cluelessness on my part. Wonder how I missed these things?

Good observations, hex. My job allows me to observe these walking pu55ies roam and shop places like old navy, maurices, the mall, justice's, and on and on DURING the WEEKDAYs M-F..IN addition to the bloody weekends. It is DAY-round, YEAR-round, that they do this! This is what drives our economy, not Bush, McCain, Huckabee, Obama, Clinton. The purchasing pu55ies drive our economy and deplete our wallets/souls. Oh, and they can't drive worth a fvck.

Went to the mall again today looking for a watch. Found nothing, however, the younger hired guns were rather pi55y with me. I guess I negged them too much, basically telling them their watches were crap. One of them had a nose ring. I mean the minute you step yo foot in their territory, they approach you to sell you a piece of the moon if they could. Sometimes I just wanna look and take my time without any help. She needs to be at my beckon call and not hover over me while I'm looking. I think that she lied to me about Citizen watches being the most sold watches - "4 out of 5 watches sold are Citizen." I was looking for Tag Heuer which they didn't have. She told me where I could find them, about 50 miles south of here. I asked her about another place and where it was, and she didn't know, probably just some dumb college student trying to get by on this measly sales job. The wh0res begin to HATE you if you neg them enough. I'll probably see her again, damn, she'll soon find out who I Really am. I stand out in the mall, what can I say? It's kind of like the club or a bar, where I am almost always center stage.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

at our house
our job is to gather things that are needed and horde it away for when it is needed.
my pantry is referred to by the family as "mom's bomb shelter"... yet we have will never go hungry.

my bathroom closet is referred to by the family as "mom's pharmacy" as we have enough soap and shampoo and tylenol and bandaids to last for years.

i never discard anything useful or practical, as that would not be practical haha. i am the biggest pack rat when it comes to things like baby clothes. i constantly have items to share with other people who are in need...

it is just what i do i guess.

Women shop for these reasons:

Better clothes augment your social value.
Better clothes make you look better.
Better make-up makes you look better.

Better clothes/make-up = better options.

Don't overcomplicate this.
