"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.

Anyone here happens to be a Latina connoisseur? As you know I happen to live in South Texas as my winter home in America each year and Hispanics happens to be the majority out here. Do you guys have some great pointers and tips for dating Latina Americans and getting involve in their culture?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

They generally put out (and put out kids) when they are young and turn into Catholic nuns when they're older. The libido starts out strong and then the guilt takes over (more so than white girls who are more consistent).

So get em while they're young.

They're definitely Catholic vibe, there family oriented, yes I agree with the learning spanish part.....also get acquianted with their cuisine. Tamales, burritos, barbacoa, quesadillas, etc...know how to eat a good botana cheerfully at a family function.

Let's be rational about this. Do you really think this will give them the tingles?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

aren't you Latino yourself? You should realize by now that food is the way to the soul when it comes to certain culture. Nothing like being a smooth mofo and knowing what to do when you get served a certain dish and knowing how to prepare the condiments and ingredients and gather them all up together etc. These types of things not only build rapport, not just with her but with her family and friends. Im thinking in terms of relationships here long term wise.

Building rapport with her family has nothing to do with creating sexual attraction. Don't confuse being culturally accepted with being sexually desired.

Maybe accept that you don't understand how attraction works before giving advice on how to build it. You might learn a thing or two.

Listen I admit I'm no Casanova, but I do get plenty of dates while in South East Asia and I know thing or two about being a gentleman. One when it comes to attraction, it boils down to not needing her approval, just a laid back calm presence, natural and having good social skills and figuring out the logistics of the date, If you got those things covered, you should be good to go, though I admit, my main weakness that I don't land a second date sometimes is because I'm not 'sexual' enough and don't kino her often as I should, because I'm rather conservative in that department and made a few platonic girlfriends in the long run, it's still a learning process for me and I've already had a few marriage talks with some of the long term prospects that I'm dating in South East Asia long term wise, like I said I'm just spinning my plates, the Christian way, while I'm out there and while I'm here in the states, might as well flirt with a few latinas at a few pubs, coffee shops, bookstores and all the venues I used to go to while I was here.

Getting dates in Southeast Asia as an American is hardly comparable. Being from the States is already an advantage in those markets. You have novelty and perceived status working in your favour before you even open your mouth.

And for the umpteenth time, you’re using the word “plate” incorrectly. If you’re not sleeping with these women, you’re not spinning plates. You’re collecting female friends and entertaining marriage fantasies. More importantly, you’re not going to build the kind of life you’re envisioning with a woman unless she’s sexually attracted to you. Being a gentleman, having good social skills, and getting along with her family are not substitutes for sexual attraction. You admitted yourself that you struggle with sexual escalation and often end up in platonic relationships. That’s the issue you should be addressing instead of all this jumbo mumbo about being a gentleman and building rapport with her family.

You can be a gentleman, pursue marriage, and wait until sex until marriage. But none of that changes the fact that you first need to make a woman desire you. You’re putting the cart before the horse.
 

"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.

I notice when it comes to attraction, you can be the biggest dork in the world and if the girl happens to like you, she'll make it easier for you and be more understanding. You're right that attraction isn't a choice, well guess what? You can't attract all the girls you come across, you can only improve your batting percentage when you step up to the plate. As far as plates are concerned a Man is only as good as his options. I'm a dude who likes to have options in my life, not just with women, so I guess we'll call it as that - 'options'. Options and being able to be the selectee is a great thing to have and something this site preaches right? I'm doing it with my Tinder and Social circle. Personally I still refer to my options as Plates even though I'm doing it the Christian way. I'm not here to bash your way of life, But I've found my calling in God consciousness and walk that path. I also practice Semen retention and yoga in my everyday life and even when it comes to sex, I shall practice semen retention and sexual tantric/yogic union with my wife. A man should be able to control his ejaculation in the bedroom whenever he pleases and use that to bring a sense of enlightenment and have good masculine essence.

Being a gentlemen is all well and fine. But not at the expense of being sexual and turning them on.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Using the wrong terminology only reinforces your stubbornness and unwillingness to acknowledge that your approach might be flawed. You seem more interested in justifying it than recognizing what’s wrong. Call them whatever you want, but having options and spinning plates are two different things.

But suit yourself. After all, it is your life. Enjoy the lack of success.
 

"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.

You define what the meaning of success entails. I happen to enjoy a more drama free life because of this. There's plenty of pros in this lifestyle like not catching stds or unwanted pregnancy, not being drained physically because your practicing semen retention and spirituality, living independently from women's approval because you're not manipulated by the poontang lol.

I still date women and enjoy taking them out on dates, but I live by the tenants of my Christian faith. You my friend need to refer to your spiritual essence more because I sense that you need to prove yourself by your notch count as a Man. Guess what? You have nothing to prove in that regard, as a Man you should measure your masculinity by your service to God and how much you contribute to your community and others. Have you ever been married before? They say when you get married, the game becomes silly in comparison to your children and especially if you've conceived a daughter. These are things to think about.

Someone is conflating celibacy with Christianity.

You know those "retreats" your church organised during high school?
Coed getaways for teenagers?
Why on earth would they do that, if they wanted to encourage celibacy?
[Hint: some of your colleagues with greater acumen were experiencing God, and the other sex, more "biblically"]

The bible is unambiguous about "conjugal rights"
"Coming together"
"Go forth and multiply"

Celibacy is required when going off to a monastery.
Perhaps you should think of joining the priesthood?

A plate is a woman who you are regularly fvcking.

You don't partake in that activity, hence you have no plates.
